Carbon Resistor 120Ω 0.125W Through Hole
The 120 Ω carbon-film through-hole resistor rated at 0.125 W is a compact axial passive component built for general-purpose electronic use. Its carbon resistive element is covered with a flame-retardant protective coating and terminated with axial leads to allow straightforward soldering, mechanical stability, and compatibility with both manual and automated assembly processes. The 1/8-watt class balances small size with modest power dissipation for low-power circuits.
Electrically, the resistor provides a nominal 120 Ω value with common tolerance options (typically 2% or 5%) and a temperature coefficient appropriate for its ohmic band. Maximum working voltage for the family is constrained by the lesser of the series maximum or the √(P·R) rule; for 120 Ω at 0.125 W that practical limit is about 3.87 V, which implies a rated DC current near 32.3 mA. The part is designed to meet standard IEC/JIS test methods for short-time overload, soldering heat, temperature cycling, endurance and damp-heat.
Mechanically it typically uses the CF size 18 axial body (≈3.30 mm long × 1.70 mm dia.) with ~28 mm leads, making it easy to insert into PCBs or to hand-solder. It withstands industrial temperature extremes (−55 °C to +155 °C) and is RoHS/REACH compliant, offering reliable, economical performance for low-power commercial and industrial circuits.
Features:
- General-purpose resistor ideal for commercial and industrial applications.
- Flame-retardant protective coating standard; flameproof versions available (CFF/CFFM).
- Compatible with automatic sequencing / insertion (Panasert options on selected sizes).
- CFM mini variant for size-constrained applications.
- Standard lead finish: copper-plated steel with 100% tin overplate (CF / CFM); tin-on-copper available as CFQ/CFQM.
- RoHS and REACH compliant, lead-free and halogen-free.
