Overview
The Motorola 6-6022 is a fixed carbon composition resistor featuring a resistance value of 330 ohms with a power rating of 0.5W (1/2W). This axial-lead component carries a tolerance rating of ±10%, making it suitable for general-purpose applications where moderate precision is acceptable. As a vintage new-old-stock (NOS) component manufactured in the United States, it represents reliable resistor technology from the mid-to-late 20th century.
