Description

The 180 Ohm 1/4W 1% 1206 SMD Chip Resistor is a high-precision, surface-mount resistor designed for use in various electronic circuits and applications. With a resistance value of 180 Ohms, it is commonly used to limit current, divide voltage, or set specific operating points in a circuit. This resistor features a 1/4W power rating, meaning it can safely dissipate up to 0.25 watts of power without damage, making it suitable for most low-to-moderate power applications.

The 1% tolerance rating ensures high accuracy, meaning the actual resistance of the component will be within 1% of the stated value, which is crucial for circuits requiring precise resistance values for stable operation. The 1206 package size indicates that it is a small, compact resistor with dimensions of 3.2mm x 1.6mm, designed for surface-mount technology (SMT) placement, making it ideal for high-density PCB layouts and modern electronic devices.

This chip resistor is built with high-quality materials to ensure long-term reliability, stability, and durability under normal operating conditions. It is typically used in applications such as signal processing, filtering, voltage regulation, and in precision measurement equipment. Its small size, low power dissipation, and high precision make it a popular choice for a wide range of consumer electronics, telecommunications, automotive electronics, and industrial control systems.
