Description

A 6.8K Ohm (6K8) 1/4W 5% 1206 SMD Chip Resistor is a surface-mount resistor with the following specifications:

• Resistance: 6.8K Ohms (6800 Ohms), used for controlling current flow and voltage division in electronic circuits.
• Power Rating: 1/4W (0.25 watts), ensuring safe operation without overheating.
• Tolerance: 5%, meaning the actual resistance may vary by ±5% from the nominal 6.8K Ohm value.
• Package Size: 1206, with physical dimensions of 3.2 mm × 1.6 mm, making it ideal for use in compact, high-density circuit designs.

This resistor is commonly used in low-power, general-purpose applications such as signal processing, voltage regulation, and pull-up/down resistor configurations. Its small SMD design enables efficient integration into modern electronic devices with limited PCB space.
