Resistor Kit - 1/4W (500 total)

Nothing stops a project dead in its tracks faster than not having the right resistor. These components are arguably the most fundamental and essential passive components in all of electronics. They are the "control" in your circuits—you use them to limit current for LEDs, create voltage dividers to read sensors, pull-up or pull-down digital pins, and build filters. The SparkFun Resistor Kit is the "must-have" for any workbench. It's a curated library of 20 of the most common and useful standard resistor values, ensuring you'll almost always have the one you need, right at your fingertips. This kit provides a total of 500 1/4W resistors (25 pieces of each of the 20 values). These 1/4W resistors are the perfect size for breadboarding—they are easy to handle, their color bands are easy to read, and they fit perfectly into a breadboard's contacts. The assortment covers a massive range, from 0Ω (ideal for jumpers) to 1MΩ, providing the right tool for any job. Whether you're limiting current to an LED, creating a voltage divider, or pulling a pin high or low, this kit is almost guaranteed to have the value you need. The 1/4W power rating is ideal for breadboarding and most low-power embedded projects. Note: This kit serves as the essential companion to our SparkFun Beginner Parts Kit (which does not include resistors), or pair it with our SparkFun Capacitor Kit to build a comprehensive and well-rounded parts library.
