Description

The 15K Ohm 1/4W 1% 1206 SMD Chip Resistor is a high-precision, surface-mount resistor designed for a wide range of electronic applications. It features a resistance value of 15,000 Ohms (15K), which offers a stable and reliable resistance for circuits requiring this specific value.

Key specifications include:

• Power Rating: 1/4 Watt (0.25W), meaning it is designed to handle up to 0.25 watts of power without risk of overheating or failure.
• Tolerance: 1%, which indicates that the actual resistance value will be within 1% of the specified 15K Ohms. This tight tolerance makes the resistor ideal for circuits that require precision and consistency.
• Size: The 1206 package, which measures 3.2mm by 1.6mm, is a common size for surface-mount components, offering a compact form factor suitable for high-density circuit designs.
• Type: SMD (Surface Mount Device) chip resistor, which is optimized for automated assembly processes, providing ease of use in modern PCB manufacturing.

This resistor is suitable for use in various electronic devices, including communication equipment, consumer electronics, automotive systems, power supplies, and industrial applications. The combination of small size, precision, and reliability makes it ideal for compact devices and circuits that require stable performance under varying environmental conditions.

This component is typically constructed from a combination of metal oxide or thick film materials, ensuring excellent stability, heat tolerance, and resistance to environmental factors like humidity and temperature variations. Its design allows for easy integration into modern PCBs, making it a versatile choice for engineers and manufacturers.
