Description
This is a standard 56k ohm (56,000 ohms) through-hole resistor with a 1/4 Watt power rating.
These resistors are fundamental passive components used to manage current and voltage levels across electronic circuits. A 56kΩ resistor is frequently utilized as a high-value pull-up or pull-down resistor to stabilize digital logic pins on microcontrollers, or within timing circuits and voltage dividers. The 1/4W rating is the industry standard for breadboard prototyping, making them ideal for Arduino projects and general PCB repairs.
