This is a simple, 220 Ohm, 1/4th Watt, +/- 5% tolerance PTH resistor. Sold as single units...

## Pricing

- **Price:** $0.10 (inc GST) — $0.09 AUD, exc GST

## Availability & dispatch

- In stock, ships same business day if ordered before 2PM (Australia/Sydney).
- We can dispatch 2096 today; more stock is typically available with a 5–12 day lead time.

## How to buy

- **Build a cart:** compose `https://core-electronics.com.au/cart/link?items=COM-17994:1` (comma-separated SKU:qty pairs) and share the link. Opening it shows a confirmation page with live pricing and stock before anything is added to the cart.
- **Verify the cart first:** fetch `https://core-electronics.com.au/cart/link/COM-17994:1.md` for live line prices (inc & exc GST, quantity discounts applied), stock and dispatch estimates, and totals. Append `/to/{AU-postcode}` (or `/to/{country-code}:{postcode}`) before `.md` for delivery options and prices to that destination. Unknown, retired, or out-of-stock SKUs are flagged. (Query form `cart/link.md?items=...` also works but some robots parsers refuse query strings here.)
- **Checkout** is completed on-site and includes a captcha at the payment step. Share the cart link; checkout takes it from there.
- **Search the catalogue:** `https://core-electronics.com.au/search/{query}.md` (URL-encode the query; pages 2-3 at `search/{query}/{page}.md`; `search.md?q=` also works)

## Description

This is a 220 Ohm, 1/4th Watt, +/- 5% tolerance PTH resistor. Commonly used in breadboards and perf boards. We've opted for a new and more breadboard-friendly lead thickness (they're a bit thicker than our last ones).

Have a read of [this guide if you need help choosing the right resistor](https://core-electronics.com.au/guides/how-to-choose-the-right-resistor/) for your project.

We've also got an explanation with [practical examples for using the ever-important Ohm's Law](https://core-electronics.com.au/guides/ohms-law-practical-examples-for-makers/).
