quick question again

30kΩ 5%

what does the 5% mean?.. can i use this for lm386? is it 1/4 watts? 1/2?..

[Vlad]

I'm not sure what this equation stands for

[akomismo01]

can someone please answer this?..

5% refers to the resistors tolerance, which means the actual resistance may differ by as much as 5% from what it is rated at. Wattage is not part of the 4-band code, but you can roughly estimate by the resistors size.

thanks blizzard.. so i can use it for lm386?..

[atomicareprise]

you can use either the 1/2 wattage or 1/4 wattage...

though if you want to save space a little better go with the 1/4 watts kabayan
