12K Ohm 1/2W Carbon Film Resistor

12,000Ω (12K) 1/2W Carbon Film Resistor

This 12,000 ohm carbon film resistor is rated for 1/2W (0.5W) power dissipation, striking a balance between the compact size of a 1/4W resistor and the higher power handling of a 2W type. Built with a carbon film resistive element wound to precise tolerance, it delivers stable, reliable resistance for general-purpose circuits.

The 1/2W rating makes it suitable for everyday electronics work — LED current limiting, pull-up/pull-down networks, voltage dividers, and general prototyping — where a standard resistor needs a bit more power headroom than the smallest 1/4W parts.
