Description

A 5.1K Ohm (5K1) 1/4W 5% 1206 SMD Chip Resistor is a surface-mount resistor with the following specifications:

• Resistance: 5.1K Ohms (5100 Ohms), used for regulating current flow and voltage division in electronic circuits.
• Power Rating: 1/4W (0.25 watts), ensuring reliable operation without excessive heat buildup.
• Tolerance: 5%, meaning the actual resistance may vary by ±5% from the nominal 5.1K Ohm value.
• Package Size: 1206, with physical dimensions of 3.2 mm × 1.6 mm, ideal for use in compact, high-density circuit designs.

This resistor is commonly used in low-power, general-purpose electronic applications such as signal processing, voltage regulation, and pull-up/down resistor configurations. Its small SMD form factor makes it well-suited for modern, space-constrained electronic devices and circuits.
