A quick and easy project to mount a precision 10K ohm resistor for use as a reference standard.
10K resistor enclosure front panel
To go along with my Quad precision voltage reference I wanted to add an accurate resistance reference to my bench equipment.
I decided on a 10K ohm precision resistor from Vishay Foil Resistors.
The resistor is a Z series ultra high precision Z‑Foil though-hole resistor with a TCR of ± 0.05 ppm/°C, Tolerance of ± 0.005 % (50 ppm), Load Life Stability of ± 0.005 %, and rated at 0.6 Watts.

Assembled and labeled enclosure, ready to use
Mounted in a Hammond #1457C801BK box, dimensions:
3.484″ L x 2.441″ W x 1.336″ H (88.49mm x 62.00mm x 33.93mm)
This was a quick and easy project that took less than an hour to finish.
