Resistor 1.3K OHM 1/4W 1% Metal Film

High-Precision 1.3K Ohm 1/4 Watt Metal Film Resistor

Engineered for high-reliability electronic circuits, this 1.3K Ohm metal film resistor delivers superior accuracy, minimal noise, and exceptional long-term stability. Featuring a 0.25 Watt (1/4W) power rating and a tight +-1% tolerance, it is ideal for precision analog designs, voltage division networks, feedback loops, and signal conditioning applications where low noise performance and minimal thermal drift are critical parameters.

Advanced Construction and Performance Characteristics

Constructed using a vacuum-deposited metallic film layer over a high-grade ceramic rod, this axial-leaded component offers significantly superior performance compared to standard carbon film alternatives. It features a low temperature coefficient of resistance (TCR), typically rated at +-50 ppm/deg C, maintaining stability across broad operating temperature ranges from -55 deg C to +155 deg C. The lead-free, RoHS-compliant design incorporates tinned copper lead wires for seamless solderability in both manual prototyping and automated through-hole assembly processes.

Application Use-Cases and Engineering Context

This 1.3k-ohm passive component is commonly utilized in operational amplifier gain-setting circuits, current-limiting configurations for sensitive microcontrollers, RF feedback pathways, and active filter topologies. Its low current noise makes it an excellent selection for high-fidelity audio preamplifiers, instrument amplifiers, and sensor signal amplification stages where signal degradation must be minimized.

Important Usage and Verification Note

Product images serve as visual references for the physical component form factor, axial packaging, and lead configuration. Color bands displayed in reference photographs may vary from actual production batches or may represent standard five-band color coding conventions. Designers and technicians are strongly advised to measure and verify resistance values using a calibrated digital multimeter prior to soldering into active target circuits.
