Description

A 18K Ohm 1/4W 5% 1206 SMD Chip Resistor is a surface-mount resistor with the following specifications:

• Resistance: 18K Ohms (18,000 Ohms), used for current limiting, voltage division, and signal processing in various electronic circuits.
• Power Rating: 1/4W (0.25 watts), ensuring reliable operation under typical conditions without excessive heat generation.
• Tolerance: 5%, meaning the actual resistance may vary by ±5% from the nominal 18K Ohm value.
• Package Size: 1206, with physical dimensions of 3.2 mm × 1.6 mm, suitable for compact and high-density circuit designs.

This resistor is commonly used in low-power, general-purpose electronic applications such as voltage regulation, signal conditioning, and pull-up/down resistor configurations. Its small size and efficiency make it ideal for integration into space-constrained and modern electronic devices.
