Resistors in small quantities

April 8, 2009 - 17:06 — n1vwd

Hello Group!

I am looking for an assortment of resistor values in small quantities that you don't have to pay an arm and a leg for. Have any of you found a source? Shipping is a killer.
Thank you very much in advance.

Resistor assortment

Hi Brad.

I'm not sure what you are looking for as far as quantities and breadth of values goes, but if your needs are modest, and shipping charges are a concern, then check out - Radio Shack. Yes, Radio Shack. They sell a 500 piece 1/4 watt resistor assortment for $12.99. catalog number 271-312.

Includes 30 each of 1k, 10k, and 100k; ten each of 1, 10, 100, 120, 150, 220, 330, 470, 560, 1.5k, 2.2k, 3.3k, 4.7k, 15k, 22k, 47k, 220k, 470k, 1meg, and 10meg; five each of 2.2, 15, 22, 33, 39, 51, 68, 82, 180, 270, 390, 510, 680, 820, 1.2k, 1.8k, 2.7k, 3k, 3.9k, 5.1k, 5.6k, 6.8k, 8.2k, 12k, 18k, 27k, 33k, 39k, 51k, 56k, 68k, 82k, 120k, 150k, 180k, 270k, 330k, 1.5meg, 2.2meg, 3.3meg, and 4.7meg.

If your local RS doesn't have it in stock (call first), they can order it. Others may provide additional suggestions.
