You've got a board that needs exactly 5.1K and the ¼W carbon film you grabbed last time is running hot or simply not on the shelf anymore. These Jaycar 5.1K ohm metal film resistors handle double the power headroom of a standard ¼W part while sitting in the same footprint, so your layout doesn't shift. Eight per pack. Drop them in, solder, done. No waiting on a national chain's six-day window for a component that should've been under your bench
