Description

The 5K1 Ohm (5.1K) 1/4W 1% 1206 SMD Chip Resistor is a high-quality surface-mount resistor designed for use in a variety of electronic applications, offering excellent reliability and performance. This resistor has a resistance value of 5.1 kilohms (5K1), which means it is ideal for precise current regulation and voltage division in circuits where accuracy is crucial.

• Power Rating: It has a power rating of 1/4 watt (0.25W), making it suitable for circuits with moderate power dissipation needs. This rating ensures the resistor can operate efficiently without overheating under standard conditions.

• Tolerance: With a 1% tolerance, the resistor provides high precision in its resistance value. This means that the actual resistance will be within 1% of the nominal 5.1K Ohms, which is essential for applications that require tight tolerances, such as analog signal processing or sensor interfacing.

• Size and Package: The resistor comes in a 1206 package, a common and compact surface-mount design measuring 3.2mm x 1.6mm. The 1206 form factor is widely used in modern electronics because it strikes a balance between size, power handling, and durability, making it ideal for both consumer and industrial applications.

• Applications: The 5K1 Ohm SMD resistor is versatile and can be used in various electronic devices such as communication systems, consumer electronics, automotive circuits, and more. It is commonly used in signal processing, voltage dividers, pull-up or pull-down resistors, and other precision circuits.

• Construction and Durability: Built with high-quality materials and designed for surface-mount technology (SMT), this resistor is highly durable, providing a long operational life. Its 1% tolerance ensures minimal variation in performance, even under extended use.

This resistor is an essential component for those needing accurate and reliable resistance values in compact, space-constrained designs.
