Resistor ALLNET 118430 ALL-BRICK-0182 10K Ohm 1% 0.25W

The ALLNET 118430 ALL-BRICK-0182 10K Ohm 1% 0.25W resistor is a precision fixed resistor intended for use in electronic circuits where stable resistance and low tolerance are required. With a nominal resistance of 10 kiloohms and a 1% tolerance, this component provides predictable voltage division and current limiting in measurement, signal conditioning, and general circuitry. Its 0.25 watt power rating makes it appropriate for low-power applications common in both hobbyist projects and professional electronic assemblies.

Advantages

This 10K Ohm resistor offers precise resistance accuracy with 1% tolerance, helping to reduce drift and maintain circuit performance. The 0.25W power rating suits compact, low-power designs while the resistor’s construction is intended for reliable, long-term operation in typical ambient conditions. The component's standard value and tolerance simplify component selection and substitution in repairs and prototypes.

Suitable for

• Prototype circuits and breadboard testing
• Signal conditioning and voltage divider networks
• Microcontroller input/output pull-up or pull-down applications
• Sensor interface circuits and measurement systems
• General-purpose low-power electronic devices and repairs

Key specifications

• Resistance: 10 kΩ (10,000 ohms)
• Tolerance: ±1%
• Rated power dissipation: 0.25 W (¼ watt)
• Type: fixed resistor for through-hole or PCB mounting (check physical lead style before assembly)
• Typical temperature stability: suitable for standard commercial temperature ranges (consult device datasheet for exact thermal limits)

How to use

Select this 10K resistor when circuit calculations call for a high-precision 10 kiloohm value with up to 0.25W dissipation. Install the resistor according to standard soldering or through-hole insertion procedures, observing correct polarity where applicable (resistors are non-polar components). Ensure the expected power dissipation in the resistor does not exceed 0.25W by calculating I^2·R or V^2/R for the intended operating conditions, and place the component on the PCB so heat can dissipate into surrounding copper and air.

Recommendations

Use this resistor in low-power circuits and prototypes; for higher power or higher temperature environments, choose a resistor with a greater power rating or improved temperature coefficient. Verify the resistor’s footprint and lead spacing match your board layout before soldering, and consider using appropriate decoupling and thermal management if the resistor will operate near its rated dissipation limit.
