Description

The 10K Ohm 1/4W 1% 1206 SMD Chip Resistor is a high-precision surface-mount resistor designed for use in a wide range of electronic applications. With a resistance value of 10,000 Ohms (10K), it plays a key role in regulating electrical current flow within circuits. The resistor is rated for a power dissipation of 1/4 watt (0.25W), making it suitable for general-purpose circuit applications where moderate power handling is required.

This component features a tolerance of 1%, which ensures high accuracy in resistance value, making it ideal for applications that require precise and reliable performance. The 1206 package size refers to the physical dimensions of the resistor, which are 3.2mm x 1.6mm. This compact size is optimized for modern, space-constrained circuit designs and allows for efficient use of board space in applications such as consumer electronics, automotive systems, and telecommunications.

The SMD (Surface-Mount Device) construction allows for easy automated placement onto printed circuit boards (PCBs), which enhances manufacturing efficiency and reduces the risk of errors during assembly. The chip resistor is designed to withstand various environmental conditions, including temperature variations and vibrations, while maintaining its performance.

This type of resistor is commonly used in applications that demand stable and precise resistance values, such as voltage dividers, signal conditioning, filtering, and biasing circuits. Additionally, it is ideal for use in environments where space is limited, providing a reliable solution for both high-performance and cost-sensitive designs.
