A 180 ohm resistor isn't the value you grab by default — it's the one your design spec calls for, and a wrong substitute means a rework later. This Jaycar carbon film unit handles 0.25 watts, so it sits comfortably in current-limiting or bias roles without running warm. Get the right value in now and stop second-guessing the schematic
