1.Where can I buy resistors online?

Resistor boxes and other combination sets of resistors can be bought online from online stores like Robocraze.

2. Where can I buy resistors near me (locally)?

Resistors are easily available in any electronic shops at your local city market.

3. Can I buy resistors in bulk?

Resistors are usually always sold as bulk as it isn't feasible to ship and sell individual resistors. So a bulk purchase of resistors is an economical option.

4. How to choose resistors online?

You can shoes the appropriate resistor by deciding on the value range, power rating, tolerance, etc. You can then cross check whether your requirements conform within the resistor specifications.

5. Define resistor specifications:

Resistance value: Resistance is the main measure of a resistor and it measure the opposition of electric flow, measured in ohmsTolerance: Tolerance specifies the potential of deviation in error with respect to the resistance valuePower rating: Power rating specifies the power (voltage * current) the resistor can withstand Stray inductance: Stray inductance is a measure of the amount of unwanted inductance the resistor induces into the circuitSurge rating: Surge rating is a measure of potential pulse in power the resistor can withstand for a short amount of time Maximum working voltage: Specifies the maximum voltage the resistor can handle without breaking down

6. What are the types of resistors?

Resistors come in a few types. The type you choose depends on your need and use case. Some of the types areCarbon Composition Resistor: low cost, easy to construct resistors used for prototypingThermistor: Resistors who’s resistance value changes with temperatureWire Wound Resistor: These resistors are used in high power applicationsVariable Resistor: Resistors whose value can be varied by a knobVaristor: Non linear resistors that do not obey ohm’s lawLight Dependent Resistor: Resistors whose resistance changes depending on the light intensity falling onto the resistor

8. What types of resistors are available?

You’ll find a wide range of resistor types in this collection: fixed value axial resistors (carbon film, metal film), value-kits (boxes with many different values), and maybe speciality resistors for higher precision. There are very low values (e.g., 1 Ω), mid-range values (10 k Ω, 33 k Ω) and high values up to 1 M Ω or more. These cover almost every resistor needed for electronics work.

9. Are these resistors suitable for Arduino and Raspberry Pi projects?

Yes, absolutely. These resistors are ideal for use with Arduino, Raspberry Pi and other microcontroller or SBC projects. Whether you are setting up pull-up or pull-down resistors, limiting LED current, building sensor circuits or doing prototyping, these resistors have you covered.

10. Do you provide 1% tolerance or precision resistors?

While many standard resistors in the collection have common tolerance values (such as ±5%), you will also see higher-precision resistors (e.g., ±2% or ±1%) listed or available. For circuits where accuracy matters (voltage dividers, calibration, high-fidelity sensor work), you can select the precision type.

11. What power ratings are available for these resistors?

Most of the resistors offered are typical through-hole types rated at standard hobby power ratings (for example, ¼ watt). These are perfectly fine for most microcontroller circuits, signal work and prototyping. If you need higher power-rated resistors (½ W, 1 W or more), you’ll want to check the specific product details and that it’s designed for heavier loads.

12. Can these resistors be used for prototyping & DIY electronics?

Yes, they’re perfect for prototyping and DIY electronics. Given their wide value range, good tolerance options, and typical use-case orientation, these resistors help you build and test circuits, repair boards, experiment with designs, and scale up. Whether you’re just learning or assembling a custom gadget, these resistors are a reliable building block.

Color	Digit	Multiplier	Tolerance
Black	0	×1	—
Brown	1	×10	±1%
Red	2	×100	±2%
Orange	3	×1k	—
Yellow	4	×10k	—
Green	5	×100k	±0.5%

Example

Red (2) – Violet (7) – Brown (×10) – Gold (±5%)
→ 270 × 10 = 2700 Ω (2.7 kΩ), tolerance ±5%

Tolerance & Power Rating Comparison

Type	Typical Tolerance	Power Rating Options	Best Use
Carbon Film	±5%	1/8W, 1/4W, 1/2W	General electronics, prototypes
Metal Film	±1%–2%	1/4W, 1/2W	Precision circuits, analog designs
Wire-Wound	±1%–5%	1W–10W+	High-power resistive loads, motors

Key Notes

Higher wattage = can handle more heat.

Lower tolerance = higher accuracy.

Always use a resistor rated slightly above the calculated wattage for safety.

Soldering & Safe Use Tips

Use heat-resistant tweezers or pliers when soldering to avoid overheating the resistor body.

Do not exceed the resistor’s power rating to prevent burning or drifting in value.

Keep resistor leads short in high-frequency circuits to minimize noise.

For prototyping, start with metal film resistors for stable and consistent behavior.

Always double-check polarity for variable resistors (potentiometers have 3 pins; wiring direction matters).

7. How to identify the value of a resistor?

Value of a resistor can be identified using two ways

Using a multimeter: Keep the multimeter in resistance mode and put the probes across the resistor. Your multimeter should indicate the approximate resistance of the resistor

By observing the colour bands: Resistor Values in resistors are indicated using coloured bands that specifies meaning. You can refer to the image below on what each colour band across a resistor depicts. Most resistors are four band resistors, so you can ignore the 5 and 6 band resistor for now

For example, 1. If the colour code of a 4 band resistor is yellow, violet, red and gold it means

1st digit (yellow) -> 4

2nd digit (violet) -> 7

3rd digit (red) -> 100

4th digit (gold) -> 5%

Inference: 47 x 100 with 5% tolerance = 4700 ohm = 4.7k Ohm resistor with 5% tolerance

2. If the colour code of a 4 band resistor is brown, black, brown and gold it means

1st digit (yellow) -> 1

2nd digit (violet) -> 0

3rd digit (red) -> 1

4th digit (gold) -> 5%

Inference: 10 x 10 with 5% tolerance = 100 ohm with 5% tolerance
