Description

The 120 Ohm 1/4W 1% Through Hole Resistor is a precision electronic component designed for use in a variety of applications requiring reliable resistance values with tight tolerance. With a resistance value of 120 Ohms, this resistor is commonly used in circuits where specific resistance values are critical for maintaining performance, such as in voltage dividers, current limiting applications, and signal processing.

The resistor has a power rating of 1/4 watt (0.25W), meaning it can dissipate up to 0.25 watts of heat without damage, making it suitable for low to moderate power applications. The 1% tolerance indicates that the actual resistance of the component will vary by no more than ±1% from the specified value of 120 Ohms, ensuring a high level of accuracy and precision in the circuit.

This resistor is of through-hole mounting type, meaning it is designed to be inserted into a PCB (Printed Circuit Board) and soldered into place. The through-hole design is well-suited for prototyping and DIY electronics projects, as well as for applications that require durable, reliable connections.

Built to industry standards, this resistor features a compact cylindrical body with a colored band code for easy identification of resistance values. It is typically constructed from a combination of resistive materials such as carbon film or metal oxide, providing long-term stability and low temperature coefficients, ensuring consistent performance over time and under varying environmental conditions.

Commonly used in consumer electronics, automotive, industrial, and telecommunications applications, the 120 Ohm 1/4W 1% Through Hole Resistor is an essential component for anyone working with analog circuits or low-power electronics where precision resistance is key.
