560 Ohm 0.25W 5% Carbon Film Resistor Axial Through-Hole

The 0.25W Carbon Film Resistor is the industry-standard “workhorse” component for modern electronics. Constructed by depositing a thin layer of pure carbon onto a high-grade ceramic rod, these resistors offer excellent stability and low noise at an affordable price.

Why choose 0.25W? The 1/4 Watt power rating is the most versatile size available. It is small enough to fit densely packed PCBs but robust enough to handle the current in standard 5V/12V logic circuits, LED drivers, and microcontroller inputs.

Technical Highlights:

• Power Rating: 0.25 Watts (1/4W)

• Technology: Carbon Film (Axial Lead)

• Tolerance: ±5% (Standard 4-Band Color Code)

• Operating Temp: -55°C to +155°C

• Max Working Voltage: Up to 250V (check specific datasheet)

Applications:

• Current limiting for LEDs.

• Pull-up/Pull-down resistors for microcontrollers.

• Voltage dividers and signal conditioning.

• General circuit repair and education.

Key Features

• • High Stability: Automated manufacturing ensures consistent resistance values.

  • Robust Protection: Heat and wet-proof epoxy coating protects the core element.

  • Easy Identification: Standard 4-band color code for quick value recognition.

  • RoHS Compliant: Lead-free and safe for educational and industrial use
