Description

A 430 Ohm 1/4W 5% 1206 SMD Chip Resistor is a surface-mount resistor with the following specifications:

• Resistance: 430 Ohms, providing the required resistance to limit 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 the risk of overheating or failure.
• Tolerance: 5%, indicating that the actual resistance can vary by ±5% from the nominal 430 Ohms.
• Package Size: 1206, which means the physical dimensions of the resistor are 3.2 mm x 1.6 mm, a common and compact size for surface-mount devices (SMD), suitable for modern, high-density circuit designs.

This resistor is typically used in general-purpose, low-power applications where a 5% tolerance is acceptable. Its small size and power rating make it ideal for space-efficient electronic devices and circuits.
