PACK OF 5000 PIECES
The RMC 1206 0E is a Surface-Mount Device (SMD) resistor in a 1206 package size, featuring a resistance value of 0 ohms (0Ω), commonly referred to as a zero ohm jumper. It has a 5% tolerance and is rated for a power dissipation of 1/4 watt (0.25 watts). This type of resistor is typically used as a jumper or link in electronic circuits to make a connection between two points on a printed circuit board (PCB) without adding any actual resistance to the circuit.
Key Features and Benefits:
-
Resistance (0Ω): As a zero ohm resistor, it functions as a jumper to connect traces in a PCB, offering flexibility in circuit design without adding resistance to the circuit.
-
Tolerance (5%): The 5% tolerance is standard for zero ohm resistors. Since the resistor is essentially a jumper, the tolerance level is not as critical as it would be for resistors with higher resistance values.
-
Power Rating (1/4W): The 1/4 watt power rating indicates the resistor can handle a reasonable amount of power for its size, which is suitable for most applications where a zero ohm jumper is used.
-
Package (1206 SMD): The 1206 package size is a common footprint for SMD resistors, balancing ease of handling and space-saving on the PCB. It is ideal for various surface-mount applications.
-
Model (RMC 1206 0E): This specific model number, RMC 1206 0E, accurately identifies the resistor as a zero ohm jumper, ensuring correct component selection for circuit designs that require such a link.
In summary, the RMC 1206 0E SMD resistor is a practical component used primarily as a jumper for connecting different parts of a circuit. Its 0Ω resistance, 5% tolerance, and 1/4W power rating, combined with the standard 1206 package size, make it ideal for PCB designs where a straightforward, non-resistive connection is needed.
