1/8-Watt Carbon Film Resistors (500-Piece Value Pack)

Comments about RadioShack 1/8-Watt Carbon Film Resistors (500-Piece Value Pack):

A very good assortment of sizes that will cover all but the most exotic uses. Of course, these are not precision parts, but if you are just looking for a decent quality resistor for your project or for a repair, these will fit the bill. If you need more power handling, the Radio Shack 1/4 watt is similarly excellent.

A neat trick with these little resistors, since Radio Shack does not carry surface mount parts, is that they are so small you might be able to solder the tiny leads to a surface mount PCB (if your soldering skills are up to the task). Probably not an 0603 size, but definitely a 1206, maybe 0805.

A little color chart would have been nice to include, but those are easy to get on the internet.

GREAT VALUE! I bought 2 of these and they haven't disappointed yet! Great performance, with consistent resistance and only with 5% tolerance. Great quality even if they are made in Korea, no doubt.

Absolutely amazing value. I bought one of these a few years back and I haven't ever had to buy more resistors since then.

Comments about RadioShack 1/8-Watt Carbon Film Resistors (500-Piece Value Pack):

As a biomed specializing in technology compatibility and interconnection, I often need small resistors of odd values to validate certain designs. This pack offers a broad range of values with some of the odd-ball choices I need. The only down side is I'd like to see more of the off-value resistors. Of course, offering a 500-piece pack with resistors of a 1% tolerance would be absolutely ideal for my line of work.

All that being said I have to sum up with "Good job, Radio Shack!"

This is the best set of resistors radioshack offers for the price, but there are a lot of random values that I'll probably never use. A pack of just 100, 1k, 10k, 100k or even just 1k, 10k would be very nice.

Comments about RadioShack 1/8-Watt Carbon Film Resistors (500-Piece Value Pack):

This is a good assortment of just about every common value of resistor, from very low values (some 1-Ohm resistors) up to a few megohms. They do include thirty each of 1k, 10k, and 100k -- but with more and more digital circuits, I would suggest Radio Shack consider including an additional hundred 1k resistors or so, since they're used very frequently in digital circuits. Still, it's definitely a good buy. Great for experimenting (and teaching about Ohm's Law), too.

great value range, one of the best product of this store
