Description

A 360 Ohm 1/4W 5% 1206 SMD Chip Resistor is a surface-mount resistor with the following specifications:

• Resistance: 360 Ohms, which provides the required resistance to limit the current flowing through the circuit.
• Power Rating: 1/4W (0.25 watts), meaning it can safely dissipate up to 0.25 watts of power without overheating or becoming damaged.
• Tolerance: 5%, indicating that the actual resistance value can vary by ±5% from the nominal 360 Ohms.
• Package Size: 1206, which refers to the physical dimensions of the resistor—3.2 mm x 1.6 mm—a common size for surface-mount devices (SMD), ideal for modern electronic designs where space is at a premium.

This resistor is typically used in general-purpose, low-power applications where a 5% tolerance is acceptable. Its small size and power rating make it suitable for compact, high-density electronic circuits.
