Description

A 56 Ohm 1/4W 5% 1206 SMD Chip Resistor is a surface-mount resistor commonly used in electronic circuits. Here are its key features:

• Resistance: 56 Ohms, designed to limit the flow of electrical current within the circuit.
• Power Rating: 1/4W (0.25 watts), which means it can dissipate up to 0.25 watts of power without overheating or damage.
• Tolerance: 5%, meaning the actual resistance could be within ±5% of the nominal value of 56 Ohms.
• Package Size: 1206, indicating the dimensions of the resistor are 3.2 mm x 1.6 mm, a common size for surface-mount devices (SMD) that helps optimize space on modern, high-density circuit boards.

This resistor is ideal for general-purpose, low-power applications where a tolerance of 5% is acceptable. It is commonly found in compact and efficient electronic designs.
