Resistor 0.25W 6.8 ohm (10 pcs)

The Resistor 0.25W 6.8 ohm is a through-hole fixed resistor with a resistance of 6.8 Ω and a 0.25 W rating, sold in a pack of 10. This standard E12 value is useful for current sensing, gate resistors, small speaker circuits and making other low values by combining resistors in series or parallel.

Resistor 0.25W 6.8 ohm Applications

• Current sensing: 100 mA gives a 0.68 V drop, easy to measure with an Arduino analog input
• Gate resistors between a gate-driver IC and a MOSFET
• Series resistor with a small 8 Ω speaker to reduce volume
• Emitter ballast resistors when paralleling small transistors
• Electronics education and prototyping

What's in the Box

• 10 × 6.8 Ω 0.25 W resistors

Tip: Low-value resistors are hard to measure accurately because the multimeter leads can add a few tenths of an ohm. Touch the probes together first, note that reading and subtract it from the value you measure.
