Description

A 330 Ohm 1/4W 5% 1206 SMD Chip Resistor is a surface-mount resistor with the following specifications:

• Resistance: 330 Ohms, providing the necessary resistance to control the flow of current within a circuit.
• Power Rating: 1/4W (0.25 watts), meaning it is designed to safely dissipate up to 0.25 watts of power without the risk of overheating or failure.
• Tolerance: 5%, indicating that the actual resistance may vary by ±5% from the nominal value of 330 Ohms.
• Package Size: 1206, meaning the physical dimensions of the resistor are 3.2 mm x 1.6 mm, a compact and standard size for surface-mount devices (SMD) suitable for modern electronic designs.

This resistor is commonly used in general-purpose, low-power applications where a 5% tolerance is acceptable. Its small size and power rating make it ideal for use in compact electronic devices and high-density circuits where space and power dissipation are important considerations.
