Description

A 200 Ohm 1/4W 1% 1206 SMD Chip Resistor is a precise and compact passive electronic component used to resist electrical current within a circuit. With a resistance value of 200 ohms, this resistor is designed to limit current flow and ensure voltage is distributed appropriately across various components in the circuit.

The "1/4W" specification indicates the power rating of the resistor, meaning it can safely dissipate up to 1/4 watt (0.25W) of power without overheating or failing. This is an important feature for preventing damage to sensitive components in low-power applications.

The "1%" tolerance rating signifies that the actual resistance value will be within 1% of the nominal 200 ohms, making it highly precise for accurate circuit performance. Resistors with a low tolerance rating are preferred for circuits requiring tight control over current flow.

The "1206" refers to the physical package size of the resistor, which measures 3.2mm x 1.6mm. This small size is ideal for surface-mount technology (SMT) applications, allowing it to be easily integrated into modern, compact, and high-density circuit boards. SMD components like this are typically soldered onto the surface of the board rather than inserted through holes, which enables faster and more efficient manufacturing processes.

This resistor is often used in a wide range of electronic applications, including signal processing, voltage regulation, current limiting, and as part of feedback networks in analog circuits. Due to its small size, reliability, and precise tolerance, it is widely used in consumer electronics, telecommunications, and automotive electronics.

With its robust construction and ability to handle high-frequency signals, this 200 Ohm 1/4W 1% 1206 SMD chip resistor is suitable for high-performance, miniaturized electronic devices.
