Description

The 470K Ohm 1/4W 1% 1206 SMD Chip Resistor is a compact and high-performance electronic component commonly used in various applications where precision and reliability are critical. Designed with a resistance value of 470,000 ohms (470KΩ), this resistor offers a tolerance of 1%, meaning its actual resistance will deviate by no more than 1% from the stated value, ensuring a high degree of accuracy in circuits.

The 1/4W (quarter watt) power rating indicates that the resistor can safely dissipate up to 0.25 watts of power without overheating or failing, making it suitable for general-purpose use in low to medium-power applications.

The 1206 package refers to the physical dimensions of the resistor, which are 3.2mm by 1.6mm, a common size for Surface-Mount Device (SMD) components. This small form factor allows for high-density circuit board designs, enabling space-efficient layouts in a variety of electronic devices. The resistor is built with a surface-mount construction, making it ideal for automated assembly processes, such as in smartphones, computers, industrial devices, and other electronic products.

The 1% tolerance ensures that the resistor meets the required precision for many sensitive applications, where exact resistance values are necessary for proper functionality. Its construction and materials provide durability, reliability, and stable performance, even under fluctuating temperatures and voltages.

This SMD resistor is often chosen for its versatility in a wide range of uses, from voltage dividers, current-limiting circuits, signal processing, to filtering and stabilization in complex electrical systems.
