1.5M Resistors

A 1.5 mega-ohm carbon film resistor in the standard quarter-watt through-hole package used throughout hobby and prototype electronics. Among the highest standard values, used for very long time constants and extremely high impedance biasing. Value is marked with the standard four-band colour code. Remember the power rating when choosing: a quarter-watt part dissipating more than that will discolour, drift in value and eventually fail, so check current and voltage across the resistor in higher power circuits. Standard 1/4W package fits breadboards and stripboard; 5% tolerance is adequate for most digital and hobby circuits; Colour-coded bands for quick identification; Long leads allow easy forming and mounting
