⚙️ Key Features:

• High Precision: 1% tolerance ensures the actual resistance is tightly centered around 130Ω (range: 128.7Ω to 131.3Ω).

• Low Noise: Metal film construction generates significantly less inherent noise than carbon film, making them perfect for sensitive analog and audio circuits.

• Excellent Stability: Low temperature coefficient means resistance changes very little with temperature fluctuations.

• Clear 5-Band Coding: The extra band allows precise identification of value and tolerance.

• Reliable & Durable: Robust construction for long-term stability.

📦 Typical Applications:

• Precision LED Current Limiting: For LEDs requiring specific current at common voltages (e.g., with a 5V supply and 2.1V LED: ~22mA).

• Series Termination Resistors: For digital signal lines (e.g., SPI, UART) to match impedance and reduce ringing.

• Voltage Dividers: Used with other precision resistors to create accurate voltage references for ADCs or comparators.

• Feedback Networks: In op-amp circuits for setting precise gain, especially in inverting amplifier configurations.

• Pull-Down/Pull-Up Resistors: For specific digital interfaces or switch inputs where 130Ω is the specified value.

• General High-Accuracy Circuits: Any design where component tolerance directly impacts performance.

🔧 Usage & Calculations:

• Ohm’s Law (for Safe Operation):

  • Max Continuous Current: Imax=P/R=0.25/130≈0.0438AImax​=P/R​=0.25/130​≈0.0438A or 43.8mA.

  • Max Voltage Drop: Vmax=P×R=0.25×130≈5.7VVmax​=P×R​=0.25×130​≈5.7V.

• Power Dissipation: Always calculate actual power: P=I2RP=I2R or P=V2/RP=V2/R. Keep dissipation well below 0.25W (e.g., < 0.2W) for reliability.

• Example – LED Current: For a 3.3V MCU pin driving an LED with Vf=2.0VVf​=2.0V at 10mA:
  $R=(3.3V-2.0V)/0.01A=130\Omega$. This resistor would provide an exact 10mA current (assuming precise Vf).

⚠️ Important Considerations:

• Power Limitation: The 1/4W rating is for low-power, signal-level applications only. For higher power (e.g., high-power LEDs), use resistors with a higher wattage rating.

• Precision Handling: While 1% is precise, for the most critical circuits (e.g., precision current sources), consider measuring and selecting matched resistors.

• Heat Management: Avoid placing near heat sources to prevent value drift.

• Not for High-Current Shunts: This is a precision signal resistor, not a power shunt. For current sensing above ~50mA, use a dedicated milliohm shunt.
