Description

The 430 Ohm 1/4W 1% 1206 SMD Chip Resistor is a precision surface-mount resistor designed for use in compact and efficient electronic circuits. It offers a resistance value of 430 Ohms, making it suitable for applications where moderate resistance is needed. The 1/4W power rating indicates that it can safely dissipate up to 0.25 watts of power without overheating or failing, making it ideal for general-purpose use in low-power applications.

With a tolerance of 1%, this resistor provides a high degree of accuracy, ensuring that its resistance stays within 1% of the specified 430 Ohms, which is crucial for precise circuit performance. This makes it suitable for high-quality, reliable electronic systems where consistent performance is essential.

The 1206 package size refers to the dimensions of the component, which are 3.2mm x 1.6mm. This compact size makes it well-suited for high-density boards where space is limited, allowing for integration into smaller, more compact devices without compromising performance. The SMD (Surface-Mount Device) form factor means the resistor is designed for automatic pick-and-place manufacturing, simplifying assembly and reducing labor costs.

This type of resistor is widely used in applications such as voltage dividers, signal processing circuits, current limiting, and in feedback networks, making it versatile for use in a range of electronic devices, from consumer electronics to industrial equipment. It is also known for its durability and stability under different environmental conditions, offering reliable performance in varying temperatures and humidities.

Additionally, the 430 Ohm 1/4W 1% 1206 SMD Chip Resistor is typically constructed with a thin-film or thick-film material that enhances its precision, ensuring a consistent resistance value even under fluctuating electrical loads. This makes it an excellent choice for professional-grade products, where both accuracy and durability are critical.
