Futurlec resistor value pack order

[mat]

I ordered several 'value packs' from futurlec and while they were nicely packed and all, the resistor values are kind of small.. i think..

1     ohm x 10
12   ohm x 10
15   ohm x 10
22   ohm x 10
47   ohm x 10
100 ohm x 20
120 ohm x 10
220 ohm x 10
390 ohm x 10
470 ohm x 10
1k          x 40
1k2        x 10
2k2        x 10
2k7        x 10
3k3        x 10
4k7        x 10
10k        x 20
22k        x 10
33k        x 10
39k        x 10
47k        x 10
100k      x 20
470k      x 10
1M         x 10

or what do you think ? Other experiences ?

mat :?

i ordered a capacitor value pack and they were primarily worthlessly tiny values.

I got a value pack the other day and thought it was a good deal.  I guess it depends on how the person filling your order is feeling that day.

Hello guys,

Just to let you know that you might find our 1/4W and 1/2W resistor kits of use. They include values right up to 10M, so hopefully suit your needs.
Of course, our kits are totally predefined so you get exactly what you see listed.

Also, if you have any suggestions for possible kits then please let us know as we're all ears!

I ordered a bunch of those packs from electronics goldmine, i kid you not it was the biggest bunch of crap, total waste of $80  I was really pathetic yo should see the pots too, I didn't know wether to laugh or cry.  


I got a box of resistors with over a 1000 and so far i've only been able to use 1 :oops:  :?  :shock:



You might just want to go to some sites where you can get a discount of 10 or more and just buy up some of the common values. And when you are buying parts for a project just get extra if you can geta discount for a certain amount. Then you will have some for the next project

Unless i'm missing something those prices seem pretty high.?

I'm in the US, 5lbs is around $10 right? For 5 caps?

You can get those here around 10 cents a piece, even less when you buy more than 10. I can get the .47 caps $3 for 25.


Am I reading that wrong?

nah...its £5 for 100 caps...i bought a cap pack and a resistor one...they're good value for the money...better than Craplins in the uk anyways..

ahh ok, I see. :oops:


that's a nice deal then.






carry on

If you want to get a few other members to go in on it go to Circuit Specialists and order your resistors in lots of 1000 and pick the values you want.  They come in boxes of 1000 (5 packs of 200) for $3.  Just make sure you divide them up by 200 of each value so you don't have to count them out.  It is the best deal out there.
