Description

The 51 Ohm 1/4W 1% 1206 SMD Chip Resistor is a compact, high-precision surface mount resistor, ideal for use in a variety of electronic circuits. With a resistance value of 51 ohms, this resistor is designed to control and limit the flow of electrical current in a circuit. It is rated for a power dissipation of 1/4 watt (0.25W), which means it can safely dissipate up to 0.25W of heat energy without overheating or failing.

This resistor is built with a 1% tolerance, meaning that its actual resistance value can vary by no more than 1% from the nominal value, ensuring high accuracy and consistency in circuit performance. The 1206 package size refers to its dimensions, specifically 3.2mm by 1.6mm, making it a very small, efficient option for space-constrained applications such as portable electronics, automotive devices, or communication equipment.

With its SMD (Surface Mount Device) design, this resistor is intended to be mounted directly onto the surface of a printed circuit board (PCB), facilitating automated assembly processes. Its construction typically features a thin-film or thick-film technology, ensuring robust electrical characteristics and reliable performance in a wide range of applications.

The 51 Ohm 1/4W 1% 1206 SMD Chip Resistor is commonly used in voltage dividers, signal processing circuits, filters, and various other electronic components that require precise resistance and minimal power loss. Its compact size, high reliability, and accuracy make it an ideal choice for engineers and designers looking for a dependable and efficient solution for their projects.
