Description

A 10K Ohm 1/4W 5% 1206 SMD Chip Resistor is a surface-mount resistor with the following specifications:

• Resistance: 10K Ohms (10,000 Ohms), commonly used for voltage division, current limiting, and signal processing in electronic circuits.
• Power Rating: 1/4W (0.25 watts), ensuring it can operate safely without excessive heat generation under normal conditions.
• Tolerance: 5%, meaning the actual resistance may vary by ±5% from the nominal 10K Ohm value.
• Package Size: 1206, with physical dimensions of 3.2 mm × 1.6 mm, making it suitable for compact, high-density circuit designs.

This resistor is typically used in a wide range of general-purpose, low-power electronic applications, including signal conditioning, voltage regulation, pull-up/down resistor configurations, and in filter circuits. The small size of the 1206 package allows it to be integrated into modern, space-constrained designs in consumer electronics, automotive, and industrial applications.
