Description

A 68 Ohm 1/4W 5% 1206 SMD Chip Resistor is a surface-mount resistor used in electronic circuits. Here are its key specifications:

• Resistance: 68 Ohms, providing a specific resistance value that limits current flow in the circuit.
• Power Rating: 1/4W (0.25 watts), meaning it can safely dissipate up to 0.25 watts of power without overheating or causing damage.
• Tolerance: 5%, indicating that the actual resistance could vary by ±5% from the nominal 68 Ohms.
• Package Size: 1206, which means the physical dimensions of the resistor are 3.2 mm x 1.6 mm, a standard size for surface-mount devices (SMD) that allows for efficient use of space on compact circuit boards.

This resistor is typically used in general-purpose, low-power electronic applications where a tolerance of 5% is acceptable. Its small size and power rating make it ideal for modern, high-density circuit designs.
