The QUADRIOS 22P060 offers a balanced carbon film resistor kit: 1000 pieces, 20 values, 50 of each. This quantity is ideal for individual engineers, small repair shops, or teaching labs that need a solid stock of common resistor values without paying for metal film precision.

Value Selection

The kit covers the E-series from 1Ω to 1MΩ, including 1Ω, 10Ω, 100Ω, 1kΩ, 10kΩ, 100kΩ, 1MΩ, and intermediate values like 2.2kΩ, 4.7kΩ, 22kΩ, 47kΩ, etc. With 50 pieces each, you can populate several boards or repair many devices before needing to reorder a specific value.

Carbon Film Characteristics

Carbon film resistors are the traditional choice for general-purpose electronics. The ±5% tolerance is adequate for most non-critical applications: LED current limiting, transistor base biasing, pull-up/pull-down resistors, and voltage dividers where absolute accuracy is not required. The ±350 ppm/°C temperature coefficient is higher than metal film, but still acceptable for indoor environments. Operating temperature range from -50°C to 150°C covers all standard use cases.

This kit provides excellent value for money. If your designs require precision, consider a metal film kit. For everyday prototyping and repair, the 22P060 is a cost-effective solution.
