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 is a small electronic component that lights up when current flows through it in the correct direction. In this kit, LEDs create the flashing effect, so polarity and correct soldering matter for the project to work.
- 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.
