C68 18k Ohm ($18k\Omega$) 1/4 Watt Carbon Film Resistors – 5% Tolerance (Brown, Gray, Orange, Gold) (5PCS)

These are high-quality 18k $\Omega$ axial-leaded resistors, essential for a variety of electronic applications such as pull-up/pull-down circuits, biasing, and signal conditioning. The tan or pinkish-beige body identifies them as Carbon Film resistors, which are favored for their excellent reliability and cost-effectiveness in general-purpose electronic projects.

Key Features

• Precise Resistance: 18,000 Ohms ($18k\Omega$).

• Power Rating: 0.25W (1/4 Watt), suitable for most low-power logic and analog circuits.

• Stable Performance: Carbon film technology ensures consistent resistance over time and temperature changes.

• Through-Hole Mounting: Flexible axial leads make them easy to use in breadboards or for permanent soldering on PCBs.

How to Read the Color Code

The resistance value is read from left to right (starting furthest from the gold tolerance band):

1. Brown: 1 (First Digit)

2. Gray: 8 (Second Digit)

3. Orange: 1,000 (Multiplier) $\to$ $18\times 1,000=18,000\Omega$ or 18k $\Omega$

4. Gold: $\pm$5% (Tolerance)
