Title: R5 100K reads 26.6K after soldering it in... correct? DOC24
Post by: noeqplease on July 05, 2026, 07:09:26 AM

Hi all,

I am populating my first 502 compressor, and on one resistor, R5, which is 100K, after soldering it in, it reads 26.6K.

This is on DOC24, the version I am building.

Is this a normal reading for that? I know sometimes you can get mixed or different readings when things start getting connected around the circuit.

Thanks!

This is perfectly normal, as this resistor is connected in parallel with several other components, which affect the resistance reading.
