Description

The 3K6 Ohm (3.6K) 1/4W 1% 1206 SMD Chip Resistor is a compact, high-precision surface-mount device (SMD) resistor designed for use in electronic circuits where space, accuracy, and power handling are critical. Here’s a detailed breakdown of its specifications and features:

• Resistance Value: The resistor has a nominal resistance of 3.6K Ohms (3,600 Ohms), which is ideal for applications requiring a specific level of resistance within that range. It is particularly useful in circuits that require accurate current limiting or voltage division.

• Power Rating: With a power rating of 1/4 watt (0.25W), this resistor is designed to handle small amounts of electrical power without overheating. This makes it suitable for low-power circuits such as signal processing and voltage control.

• Tolerance: The resistor has a tolerance of 1%, meaning the actual resistance value will be within 1% of the nominal value (3.6K Ohms). This level of tolerance is commonly used in precision applications where small variations in resistance can significantly affect circuit performance.

• Package Size: The resistor comes in a 1206 package, which measures approximately 3.2mm x 1.6mm. This compact size makes it ideal for modern, miniaturized electronic devices such as smartphones, wearables, automotive electronics, and other consumer electronics.

• Applications: This chip resistor is commonly used in applications like signal conditioning, filtering, voltage dividers, current sensing, and in general electronic designs where space is at a premium. The 1206 size allows for efficient placement on densely packed circuit boards.

• Construction: Made from high-quality materials, it offers stable and reliable performance, even under fluctuating environmental conditions. The SMD construction ensures automated, efficient placement on printed circuit boards (PCBs), reducing labor costs in mass production.

• Durability: The 3K6 Ohm 1/4W SMD resistor is designed to withstand mechanical stress and environmental factors like temperature changes, humidity, and vibrations. It is built to ensure long-lasting performance in various electronic devices.

This 3.6K SMD resistor is a versatile and durable choice for applications demanding precise resistance values and efficient power management in a small package. Whether used in consumer electronics or industrial systems, it provides excellent performance and reliability.
