This is a pack of 200 1.8K Ohm carbon film resistors rated at 1/4 W (0.25 W) with ±5% tolerance and a 250 V maximum working voltage. It uses a carbon film as the resistive element, a common general-purpose choice for limiting current, dividing voltage and setting bias in low-power circuits. The quarter-watt rating means it can safely dissipate up to 0.25 W of heat. The larger pack size suits classrooms, workshops and production runs that use this value often.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the color code for a 1.8K Ohm ±5% resistor?
On the standard 4-band code, 1.8K Ohm reads brown, gray, red, followed by a gold band for ±5% tolerance.
Can I use a 1/4W resistor in place of a lower-wattage one?
Yes. A higher wattage rating is fine as long as the resistance matches; it simply has more headroom. Keep the actual power (V × I) under 0.25 W.
What does ±5% tolerance mean?
The actual resistance can be up to 5% above or below the marked 1.8K Ohm value, which is fine for most general-purpose circuits.
