CF12JB15K0

Overview

The CF12JB15K0 is a carbon film through-hole resistor manufactured by SEI Stackpole. It features a resistance value of 15 kOhms with a tolerance of ±5%. The component has a power rating of 500 mW (1/2 W) and utilizes an axial leaded package for PCB mounting. It operates within a temperature range of -55°C to +155°C. The device complies with RoHS standards and is supplied in bulk packaging.

Feature Summary

• Constructed using carbon film technology for general-purpose applications
• Features flame retardant coatings as standard
• Compatible with auto sequencing and insertion equipment

Applications

• Commercial electronic circuits
• Industrial control systems
• General purpose circuitry requiring standard resistance

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against official datasheets to confirm packaging type, as variations exist between bulk and reel formats. Confirm compliance requirements such as RoHS status directly from manufacturer documentation before integration. Ensure that the selected variant matches the required mechanical dimensions and lead specifications for the target assembly process.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a 15 kOhm resistance with 5% tolerance is required for general-purpose use. Consider the 1/2 W power rating and axial form factor for through-hole PCB designs. Evaluate thermal performance within the specified -55°C to +155°C operating range to ensure reliability under expected environmental conditions.

Part Context

This part belongs to the CF/CFM series of carbon film resistors from Stackpole Electronics. The series offers various resistance values and power ratings, designed for broad commercial and industrial applicability. The CF designation indicates a standard carbon film construction with axial leads, providing a cost-effective solution for general electronic applications.

Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference with CF12JT15K0 for identical electrical specifications but potential differences in packaging or lead material. Verify compatibility with CFF variants if flameproof characteristics are required.
