Overview
The Motorola 6-5718 resistor file pack is a collection of axial carbon composite resistors featuring a 3.3kΩ resistance value and ±10% tolerance rating. These vintage Motorola resistors are 1W power-rated components designed for reliable performance in analog circuits, audio equipment, vintage radio restoration, and general electronics repair work. The file pack format provides multiple units suitable for technicians, hobbyists, and service centers requiring replacements for legacy equipment.
Key Features
- Resistance: 3.3kΩ (3,300 ohms)
- Power Rating: 1W (1 Watt)
- Tolerance: ±10%
- Configuration: Axial leads for through-hole PCB mounting
- Composition: Carbon composite construction
- Condition: New in box, factory original
Technical Specifications
These carbon resistors meet vintage electronic component standards and are rated for standard operating temperatures. The 1W power dissipation rating makes them suitable for moderate-current applications typically found in analog audio amplifiers, power supply circuits, and industrial control equipment from the 1960s–1980s era.
Typical Applications
- Vintage radio and tube amplifier restoration
- Audio equipment repair and refurbishment
- Legacy industrial control circuits
- Hobbyist electronics projects requiring period-correct components
- Component replacement in antique consumer electronics
- Educational and experimental circuit construction
