Welcome to c/science_memes @ Mander.xyz!

A place for majestic STEMLORD peacocking, as well as memes about the realities of working in a lab.

Use 2 E192 in parallel: a 6.19Ω resistor with a 4500Ω resistor. This gives 6.1846Ω which is close enough for rock and roll.

E192 resistors are expensive. E6 resistors 6.8Ω and 68Ω in parallel, available pretty much everywhere components are sold, result in 6.1818 Ω, which is within 0.05 % of the target, around the edge of what you can achieve without active temperature compensation.
