1KOhm ¼ Watt Carbon Film Resistor

The 1 KOhm 1/4 Watt Carbon Film Resistor is a fixed resistor that employs carbon film to confine electrical current to a specific threshold. Resistors of this type are commonly used in electrical circuits. Carbon film resistors are commonly used in high-voltage and high-temperature applications. With a nominal temperature of 350°C, operating temperatures can go up to 15kV. High-voltage power supply, radar, x-rays, and lasers are all examples.

Carbon Fim Resistor is made by depositing a carbon film over a ceramic substrate that serves as an insulator. The carbon coating also blocks electrical current to a certain extent. The insulating ceramic, on the other hand, does not allow heat to pass through, allowing the carbon film resistor to survive high temperatures without being destroyed. Meanwhile, carbon film resistors with tolerance values ranging from 1 ohm to 1 megaohm have an honest tolerance value.
