Specifications

This resistor has a resistance value of 200 kΩ (kiloohms) with a tolerance of ±5%. The power rating is 1/8W (0.125 Watts). The operating temperature range is typically -55°C to +155°C. The temperature coefficient of resistance (TCR) is a key parameter that determines how much the resistance changes with temperature variations, and this is specified in the manufacturer's datasheet. Axial leaded resistors are easy to mount on PCBs. The dimensions of the resistor body and lead length are important for design consideration and are provided in the datasheet.
