Wanted: 1ohm resistor

[pseudolobster]

Would anyone be willing to mail me a 1ohm resistor? (1/2 watt preferred)

I'll paypal you $1.36usd (my current paypal balance) to cover shipping.

I'd prefer someone in Canada as it'll save on postage and get here faster.

1ohm is black brown black (the bands on the resistor) the fourth band (if there is one) is tolerance Gold +/- 5%, Silver +/- 10%.

1 ohm resistors are pretty rare and would usually be huge rectangular blocks and 1 watt or higher.... you'd be better off putting two 2.2 ohm resistors in parallel to make it 1.1 ohm

 

[mikewitt]

10 10ohm resistors in parallel would also work, and that would cost you maybe $2.50 (USD).

Will surface-mount do? I can send you more 10.5 ohm surface-mounts than you could eat... I have a full reel.

They're 1/8 watt, so 10 in parallel would give you 1.05 ohms at better than a watt. They're cheap to send too!

You could easily solder them together in a variety of shapes... a flat ribbon, a tight bundle, whatever.

They're 1% tolerance, size 0805 (.08" x .05")(2 mm x 1.27 mm)

Also available: 22 ohm, 5%, 0805

(I'll send a bunch of either or both to anyone who sends me a stamped, self-addressed envelope - just pm me for the address)

1ohm is black brown black (the bands on the resistor) the fourth band (if there is one) is tolerance Gold +/- 5%, Silver +/- 10%.

I think that should be brown black gold.
The first significant digit (the 1 in this case) is always the first band.
The second sig. digit is band 2 (0/black).
The 3rd band is the multiplier, gold = .1

brown|black|gold = 10 x .1 = 1.0

yup. danq knows what he's talking about

Why don't you just get five 5 ohm and wire them in parallel.. or ten 10 ohm

Here's a great site to assist with recalling the resistor color bands Okay....so it really doesn't HELP you recall, it DOES it for you - but hey...you know what I mean

Also - Psuedolobster...send me an email with your shipping address, I can send you a few goodies to help you out of your pickle
