Replaces / Drop-In Replacement For
Motorola 6-6328 is a specific vintage part number. For modern equivalents in current production, any 100kΩ 1W carbon composition or carbon film resistor with ±10% tolerance can serve as a functional replacement, though vintage audio purists may prefer period-correct carbon composition types for tonal characteristics. Common modern replacements include generic 100kΩ 1W axial resistors from RCD Components, Arcol, or IRC.
Works With
- Vintage Motorola receiver and transmitter circuits
- Point-to-point construction and breadboard layouts
- Hand soldering and wave solder assembly (lead-based and lead-free)
- Low-frequency and RF applications up to standard industrial limits
- Any analog circuit requiring high-impedance resistor networks
