A pack of eight 120Ω metal film resistors rated at 0.5W (½W) with 1% tolerance. Despite the higher power rating, these resistors are the same physical size as standard ¼W carbon film types, making them a drop-in upgrade for projects that need tighter tolerance or extra headroom.
Key Features
- 120Ω, 1% Tolerance – Tight tolerance metal film construction
- 0.5W (½W) Power Rating – Double the power handling of standard ¼W resistors
- Standard ¼W Body Size – Fits existing through-hole footprints
- Colour-Coded Bands – Easy identification of resistance value
- 8-Pack – Handy quantity for projects and prototyping
Specifications
- Resistance – 120Ω
- Tolerance – ±1%
- Power Rating – 0.5W
- Type – Metal film
- Package – Axial, through-hole
- Leg Length – 8mm
Ideal For
- CAN bus termination resistors
- LED current-limiting circuits
- Breadboard and perfboard prototyping
- General-purpose electronics projects
Package Contents
- 8× 120Ω 0.5W metal film resistors
Jargon buster
Plain-language definitions for the technical terms used above.
- Axial
- Axial components have one lead coming out of each end, so they lie flat or span holes on a circuit board or breadboard. This matters when checking whether the resistor will physically fit your prototyping or through-board assembly method.
- CAN bus
- CAN bus is a reliable two-wire communication network originally designed for vehicles and now common in machinery and robotics. It matters when you need multiple controllers or devices to share status and control messages in a noisy electrical environment.
- LED
- A light-emitting diode (LED) is a small electronic component that emits light when current flows through it in the correct direction. Because it only conducts one way, its polarity matters, and a through-hole LED must be soldered the correct way around to light up.
- through-hole
- A mounting style where the component leads pass through holes in a circuit board and are soldered on the other side. Through-hole parts are often easier to handle and solder by hand, which is useful for classroom and hobby projects.
- Tolerance
- Tolerance tells you how far the real resistance value may be from the printed value. A 1% resistor is useful when a circuit needs more predictable behaviour than a looser 5% or 10% part.
