Description

The 47K Ohm 1/4W 1% 1206 SMD Chip Resistor is a surface-mount device (SMD) resistor designed for precise resistance in electronic circuits. It has the following key characteristics:

• Resistance Value: 47,000 ohms (47KΩ), indicating the electrical resistance the resistor offers to the flow of current.
• Power Rating: Rated at 1/4 watt (0.25W), meaning it can dissipate up to 0.25 watts of power without overheating or degrading, making it suitable for low-power applications.
• Tolerance: With a 1% tolerance, this resistor ensures that its actual resistance will be within 1% of the nominal value (47KΩ). This provides a high level of precision for circuit designs requiring accuracy in resistance.
• Size: The resistor is housed in a 1206 package, which refers to its dimensions: 1.2mm in length and 0.6mm in width. The compact size makes it ideal for modern, space-constrained electronic devices and is commonly used in applications such as mobile phones, laptops, and other small electronics.
• Material and Construction: Typically made of a ceramic or other high-quality substrate material, with a metal film or carbon film used to provide the precise resistance. The SMD construction allows for automated assembly and efficient use in high-volume manufacturing.
• Applications: Commonly used in various consumer electronics, automotive, telecommunications, and industrial applications where small size, precision, and reliable performance are crucial.

This resistor type is preferred for its durability, stability, and high-performance characteristics in applications requiring precise resistance control in compact designs.
