Description

A 12K Ohm 1/4W 5% 1206 SMD Chip Resistor is a surface-mount resistor with the following specifications:

• Resistance: 12K Ohms (12,000 Ohms), used for current limiting, voltage division, and signal processing in various electronic circuits.
• Power Rating: 1/4W (0.25 watts), ensuring it can handle typical power requirements without excessive heating.
• Tolerance: 5%, meaning the actual resistance may vary by ±5% from the nominal 12K Ohm value.
• Package Size: 1206, with physical dimensions of 3.2 mm × 1.6 mm, ideal for compact, high-density circuit designs.

This resistor is commonly used in general-purpose, low-power applications such as voltage regulation, signal conditioning, and pull-up/down resistor configurations. Its small size and reliable performance make it suitable for modern, space-constrained designs in a variety of electronic devices.
