This is a pack of 200 1.2K ohm (1,200 Ω) carbon film resistors rated at 1/2 W (0.5 W) with ±5% tolerance and a 250 V maximum working voltage. Carbon film resistors use a thin carbon layer as the resistive element and are a common general-purpose choice for prototyping, repairs and teaching.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the color code for 1.2K ohms?
On the standard 4-band code, 1,200 Ω at ±5% reads brown, red, red, gold.
What does ±5% tolerance mean?
The actual resistance can be up to 5% above or below the marked 1.2K Ω value.
Can I use a 1/2 W resistor in place of a 1/4 W one?
Generally yes, if it fits: a higher power rating only adds headroom. The 1/2 W body is physically larger, though.
