The 1.2k Ohm 2 Watt Resistor is a reliable, high-power fixed resistor designed for electronic circuits that require stable resistance and higher power handling capacity. With a resistance value of 1200 ohms and a 2W power rating, it is ideal for applications where standard ¼W or ½W resistors are not sufficient.
This resistor is typically manufactured using carbon film or metal oxide construction, offering good thermal stability, low noise, and consistent electrical characteristics. Its higher wattage allows it to safely dissipate more heat, making it suitable for voltage dropping, current limiting, and load balancing applications.
The axial lead design ensures easy installation on PCBs, breadboards, and soldered circuits, making it convenient for both professional electronics and DIY projects. It is commonly used in power supplies, amplifier circuits, industrial control systems, and protection networks.
