Resistor 0.25W 12K ohm (10 pcs)

The Resistor 0.25W 12K ohm is a through-hole fixed resistor with a resistance of 12 kΩ and a power rating of 0.25 W (1/4 W), sold in a pack of 10. The 12 kΩ value is a common choice for voltage dividers, op-amp gain networks and pull-up resistors where you want a little less current than with 10 kΩ. It suits Arduino, ESP32 and general prototyping work on the bench or in the classroom.

Resistor 0.25W 12K ohm Applications

• Voltage dividers for scaling a sensor or battery voltage to an analog input
• Setting gain in op-amp amplifier circuits

• Biasing transistors in small-signal amplifiers
• Electronics education and prototyping

What's in the Box

• 10 × 12 kΩ 0.25 W resistors

Tip: Resistors have no polarity, so they can be fitted either way round. With 12 kΩ, the 0.25 W limit is only reached at about 55 V across the resistor, and at 5 V it draws just 0.42 mA, so it is very safe for 3.3 V, 5 V and 12 V circuits.

Orders placed before 14:00 are ready for pickup the same day. Delivery across Lebanon usually takes 1–3 working days.
