⚙️ Key Features:

• High Precision: 1% tolerance ensures the actual resistance is tightly centered around 5.6kΩ (range: 5,544Ω to 5,656Ω), essential for accurate circuit performance.

• Low Noise: Metal film construction generates significantly less inherent noise than carbon film resistors, making them perfect for sensitive analog and audio circuits.

• Stable with Temperature: Lower temperature coefficient means resistance changes less with temperature fluctuations compared to carbon film.

• Clear 5-Band Coding: The extra band allows precise identification of both value and tolerance.

• Reliable & Durable: Robust construction for long-term stability in demanding applications.

📦 Typical Applications:

• Precision Voltage Dividers: Used with sensors (e.g., thermistors, strain gauges) and in reference voltage circuits where ratio accuracy is paramount.

• Op-amp & Instrumentation Amplifier Circuits: Setting precise gain, feedback, and offset values.

• Analog-to-Digital Converter (ADC) Reference Networks: Creating stable reference voltages for accurate sampling.

• Filter Networks: In active or passive filters (RC networks) where the cutoff frequency depends on precise R and C values.

• Bias Networks: For transistors and ICs requiring precise biasing conditions.

• General High-Accuracy Circuits: Any design where component tolerance directly impacts performance.

🔧 Usage & Calculations:

• Ohm’s Law (for Safe Operation):

  • Max Continuous Current: Imax=P/R=0.25/5600≈0.00668AImax​=P/R​=0.25/5600​≈0.00668A or 6.68mA.

  • Max Voltage Drop: Vmax=P×R=0.25×5600≈37.4VVmax​=P×R​=0.25×5600​≈37.4V.

• Power Dissipation: Always calculate actual power: P=I2RP=I2R or P=V2/RP=V2/R. Keep dissipation well below 0.25W (e.g., < 0.2W) for reliability and to minimize self-heating, which can affect the precise value.

• Reading the Bands: Remember the mnemonic for 5-band: The first three bands are digits, the fourth is the multiplier, the fifth is tolerance.

⚠️ Important Considerations:

• Power Limitation: The 1/4W rating is for low-power, signal-level applications only. For higher power, use resistors with a higher wattage rating.

• Precision Requires Care: Even with 1% tolerance, for the most critical circuits, it’s good practice to measure and select resistors or use precision resistor networks.

• Heat & Value Drift: While stable, all resistors drift slightly with temperature. Avoid placing near heat sources.
