The 150 kΩ resistor in the CF/CFM axial-lead carbon film family is engineered as a compact, economical passive component for low power signal and biasing applications. Rated for 0.125 W at ambient 70 °C, this device integrates a carbon-film resistive element with axial lead terminations and a flame-retardant protective coating, allowing seamless incorporation into circuit boards or hand-wired assemblies. Its value of 150 kΩ makes it well-suited for higher-impedance networks, such as pull-ups, divider legs, or timing circuits, where moderate current flow and low dissipation are required.
Mechanically designed for simplicity and reliability, the resistor adopts the size 18 body within the CF series (typical for 0.125 W class) and standard lead spacing for through-hole mounting. The axial lead format facilitates soldering, wave or hand assembly, and the carbon film construction offers cost-effective performance in commercial and industrial electronics. The flame-retardant coating and standard termination (copper-plated steel with tin overplate) ensure durability and compatibility with automated insertion where needed.
Environmentally and electrically, the resistor supports long-term stability across typical ambient and operating ranges (-55 °C to +155 °C), and meets relevant JIS/IEC process test methods (overload, soldering heat, temperature cycling, damp heat) to ensure predictable behaviour in general-purpose circuits. While not intended for high-power or pulse-stress applications, the 150 kΩ, 0.125 W carbon film resistor is a dependable and economical choice for moderate-impedance tasks in consumer, industrial or instrumentation electronics.
