Description

The 1K2 Ohm (1.2K) 1/4W 1% 1206 SMD Chip Resistor is a surface-mount component designed for use in a variety of electronic applications. With a resistance value of 1.2 kΩ, it is often employed in circuits where precise resistance is crucial. This chip resistor has a power rating of 1/4 watt, meaning it can safely dissipate up to 250 milliwatts of power without the risk of overheating.

The 1% tolerance rating ensures that the actual resistance of the component deviates no more than 1% from its nominal value, making it suitable for applications requiring high accuracy. The 1206 size code refers to the physical dimensions of the resistor, with the length being 3.2 mm and the width being 1.6 mm. These dimensions make it a compact option for space-constrained designs, as it can be easily mounted onto most modern PCBs using standard surface-mount techniques.

The resistor is typically made from a ceramic substrate and features a thin metal film for the resistive element, ensuring stability and reliability even in harsh conditions. It is designed to withstand a wide range of operating temperatures and is commonly used in power regulation, signal processing, filtering, and various other electronic circuits. The 1% tolerance, compact size, and high power handling capabilities make this resistor ideal for precise applications in consumer electronics, telecommunications, automotive systems, and industrial equipment.

Overall, the 1K2 Ohm 1/4W 1% 1206 SMD Chip Resistor is a high-quality, versatile component that delivers reliable performance and precision in a variety of modern electronic designs.
