Description

The 18 Ohm 1/4W 1% 1206 SMD Chip Resistor is a surface-mount device (SMD) resistor designed for precise, reliable, and efficient performance in modern electronic applications. This resistor has a resistance value of 18 ohms, providing a stable electrical resistance for various circuits requiring current limiting, voltage division, or signal processing.

The 1/4W power rating indicates that this resistor is capable of safely dissipating up to 250 milliwatts of electrical power without overheating, making it suitable for use in low to moderate power circuits. Its 1% tolerance ensures a high level of accuracy in the resistance value, meaning the actual resistance will be within 1% of the specified 18 ohms, which is essential for applications requiring precise control over electrical parameters.

The resistor comes in the 1206 package size, which measures 3.2 mm by 1.6 mm. This compact size is ideal for use in devices with limited space, such as smartphones, tablets, automotive electronics, and other miniaturized electronic products. The SMD (Surface-Mount Device) construction allows for automated placement on printed circuit boards (PCBs), making it a convenient choice for mass production and ensuring the component is securely mounted with minimal physical stress.

With its durable construction and stable characteristics, this 18 Ohm 1/4W 1% 1206 SMD Chip Resistor is perfect for a wide range of electronic applications, including signal conditioning, voltage regulation, current sensing, filtering, and other precision-resistor tasks. It also boasts excellent heat dissipation, allowing it to function optimally even in environments with variable temperature conditions.
