CF12JB36R0

Overview

The CF12JB36R0 is a fixed axial leaded carbon film resistor manufactured by Stackpole Electronics Inc. It features a nominal resistance of 36 Ohms with a tolerance of ±5%. The component has a power rating of 0.5W (1/2W) and operates within a temperature range of -55°C to +155°C. Its physical dimensions are 0.106 inches in diameter by 0.335 inches in length (2.70mm x 8.50mm). The device complies with RoHS3 standards.

Feature Summary

• Constructed using carbon film technology for stable resistive performance.
• Features flameproof coating to enhance safety during operation.
• Designed for through-hole mounting on printed circuit boards.

Applications

• General purpose electronic circuits
• Power supply units
• Consumer electronics assemblies

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix against official datasheets to confirm tolerance and packaging details, as variations exist within the CF series. Ensure the selected variant matches the required 36 Ohm value and 5% tolerance. Confirm RoHS3 compliance status if environmental regulations apply to the final assembly. Cross-reference manufacturer part numbers to avoid confusion with similar carbon film models.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a standard 36 Ohm resistance with 5% tolerance is required for general applications. Consider the 0.5W power rating and axial package size for PCB layout constraints. Evaluate the operating temperature range of -55°C to +155°C against environmental conditions. Compare against wirewound alternatives if higher precision or different thermal characteristics are needed.

Part Context

This resistor belongs to the CF series of carbon film components from Stackpole Electronics. The series offers various resistance values and tolerances in an axial leaded format. These components are widely used in industrial and commercial electronics where reliable, cost-effective resistive elements are necessary for current limiting and voltage division tasks.

Replacement Considerations

CFM12JB36R0 is a documented substitute offering flameproof construction. CF12JT36R0 provides equivalent electrical specifications in the same series. Verify that any replacement maintains the required 36 Ohm value, 5% tolerance, and 0.5W power rating.
