Description

The 1K2 Ohm (1.2K) 1/4W 1% Through Hole Resistor is a precision electronic component designed for use in various electrical and electronic circuits. This resistor has a nominal resistance value of 1.2 kilo-ohms (1,200 ohms), making it ideal for controlling current flow and limiting voltage in different applications. It has a power rating of 1/4 watt (0.25W), which means it is capable of safely dissipating up to 0.25 watts of electrical power without overheating or being damaged.

The resistor's tolerance is ±1%, meaning the actual resistance will not vary by more than 1% from the nominal value of 1.2K ohms, providing high accuracy for precision circuitry. This characteristic is essential for applications requiring tight resistance specifications, such as signal processing, calibration circuits, or feedback systems.

With its through-hole design, this resistor is intended to be mounted through holes on a printed circuit board (PCB), making it suitable for a variety of DIY projects, prototyping, and professional PCB designs. The through-hole form factor ensures secure and stable connections, offering reliable performance in applications that require durability and consistent electrical properties over time.

This component is typically made from a metal film or carbon film material, both of which offer stable performance and long-term reliability. The 1K2 Ohm 1/4W 1% Resistor is commonly used in signal conditioning, voltage dividers, and filtering applications, among others. Its compact size, precise value, and robust design make it a versatile and essential component in the world of electronics.
