120 ohm - 1/2 Watt Metal Film Resistors 1% Tolerance (Pack of 100)($9.09Value)

Description

1% precision metal film resistor for LED projects - 100 1% tolerance metal film resistors for precision LED current limiting, voltage dividers, pull-up/pull-down networks, and general electronics applications with tight resistance accuracy Precision metal film construction - 120Ω resistance with tight 1% tolerance and low temperature coefficient for stable, repeatable performance across operating conditions. Metal film element delivers lower noise than carbon composition or carbon film, suitable for analog signal paths, precision dividers, and LED current limiting at 20mA typical drive. Axial through-hole package - Standard axial form factor with tinned copper leads on 0.1 inch (2.54mm) compatible spacing for breadboards, perfboard, and PCB layouts. Color-coded body bands identify value (brown-red-brown-black-brown for 120Ω 1%). Non-polarized — mounts in either orientation through plated holes or into screw terminals. Circuit design applications - Functions as a current-limiting element in series with LEDs, as a leg in resistive voltage dividers, in RC timing networks paired with capacitors, in pull-up and pull-down configurations on logic lines, and as a series snubber or impedance match. 1% tolerance supports analog reference and feedback networks where 5% carbon film drifts excessively. Hobby and maker applications - 120Ω value targets LED current limiting on common rail voltages, voltage divider legs, pull-up and pull-down resistors on GPIO lines, audio attenuator networks, and bench prototyping. Axial through-hole format works with breadboards, stripboard, and hand-soldered PCBs for electronics repair, kit building, and circuit experimentation. 120Ω metal film resistor for precision LED current limiting and general electronics. Specifications: - Resistance: 120Ω - Tolerance: 1% - Composition: Metal film - Package: Axial through-hole - Mount style: Through-hole leaded - Typical pairing: 20mA drive current LEDs - Polarity: Non-polarized Metal film construction provides tighter tolerance and lower noise than carbon film, with stable resistance across operating temperature. The 1% tolerance supports predictable current calculation when sizing dropping resistors for LED arrays, where small resistance variation shifts forward current and perceived brightness. Axial leads suit breadboard prototyping, perfboard builds, and standard PCB through-hole footprints. Applications: - LED current limiting (series dropping resistor for indicator and panel LEDs) - Voltage divider networks for analog input scaling - Pull-up and pull-down resistors on logic lines - Through-hole axial placement on prototyping board, perfboard, or PCB - Circuit timing networks with capacitors (RC) - General electronics repair and replacement - Microcontroller and single-board computer projects - Hobby electronics, model lighting builds, and PCB design Leads are pre-tinned for direct insertion and soldering. Color-band marked per standard four-band metal film convention with the tolerance band indicating 1%.
