Carbon composition resistors are made by mixing carbon particles with a binder molded into a cylindrical shape, and then baked. Resistance decreases as temperature increases. Resistance is more prone to drifting than with other types. Standard 'classic' resistor.
Sold in multiples of 5. Pricing is per pack of five (ie, entering 2 equals a total of 10 resistors)
