Hi Ryan,

Yes it is a .33 Ohm and oyou need a low ohm meter to check the value. You can use a digital meter that can measure from 0.01 ohm onward or the blue esr meter.

so basically

5W35ΩK is totally different from 5WR33K, i just bought 35Ω wirewound resistor yesterday, thinking the one im replacing is 33Ω, which is .33Ω

by the way..how do i know if it is good or bad..

thank you very much..,God bless

Hi Jim,

The value is .15 Ohm and not 15 K ohm. So you need a low ohm resistor tester such as Blue ESR meter to check on the value. K is the tolerance.

Hi Jestine Itried testing the 5w R15K risistor on my digital multimeter with it set on 15k and it showed all zeros so i set my multimeter to 200 ohms and it showed 00.3 have i done this right and is this a bad risistor and what setting should my multimeter be set on

Hi Jim,
Normal meter can't really test out the value. Use Blue ESR meter that can measure down to 0.01 Ohm.

Hi beh,

Correct answer and the resistor is use to limit inrush current.
