The Vishay CRCW08055K23FKEA is a thick film surface mount resistor with a resistance value of 5.23k ohms ±1% tolerance and 100ppm/°C (parts per million per degree Celsius) temperature coefficient of resistance. It is a 1/8-watt device, which means it is designed to dissipate up to 0.125 watts of power. It is made up of an insulating ceramic substrate, metalized contacts, and a thick film of resistive material. The device is designed for a wide range of applications including electrical instrumentation, motor controls, medical equipment, automotive electronics, and communications systems. The combination of small size, low power requirements, and stability of the resistive film makes the Vishay CRCW08055K23FKEA ideal for many modern electronic systems.
