How do I specify resistor values when ordering from Mouser?

[skiraly017]

I feel stupid asking this, but it's my first time ordering from Mouser and I can't seem to figure out how to specify what values I want to order. When I choose the item, online ordering just puts it in my cart without asking what values. Is there a secret handshake I don't know about?

for metal film: part # is always 271-(value here). ie, for 10k resistors, type 271-10k in the search box.

hope this helps ;

there are different prefixes for carbon film 1/8, 1/4 and 1/2 watt resistors, as well as another set for metal films in those wattages as well.  once you've got the prefixes figured out, you can basically add the value afterwards (for example 299-1M).

you should get a catalog.  it's a lot easier to figure out that way.  here's one page that should help for carbon films:

oh right, as for different watt ratings, i don't know. but 271- is for 1-4w xicon metal film.
