24.9K Ohm 0.1W 0603 1% SMD Resistor

 

If your board needs a 24.9k ohm resistor, and the old part is a 1% 0.1W chip in a 0603 body, this is the part to order. It is a 24.9k ohm resistor in a small rectangular surface-mount body, built for precise voltage and current work in solar inverters and other power electronics where a steady E96 value must hold. It fits voltage division, signal conditioning, and circuit protection jobs that need a fixed 24.9K value at up to 0.1W. It does not fit jobs that need a different resistance value, a through-hole body, or more than 0.1W of power. Check the checks below before you order, so the value, the power, the voltage, and the body all match your board.

This is an original, high-quality part.

What it does

A resistor limits current and drops voltage in a circuit. A chip resistor does that job as a small flat part that solders straight onto the pads of a board, with metal ends that make the contact. This 24.9k ohm 1% resistor holds its 24.9K value within 1%, so a board that calls for 24.9K gets between 24.651K and 25.149K. The 24.9K value is an E96 value, not a round E24 number: it is the value a design picks when 25K is slightly too high and 24K is slightly too low. The 0603 body is only about 1.6 mm long, so it fits boards where space is tight.

Repair techs use a part like this as a 24.9k ohm 0603 resistor for voltage division, where it takes a share of the voltage so the next stage sees the right level, and for signal conditioning, where a fixed resistance shapes or scales a signal without loading it down. It also fits circuit protection, where a steady value limits the current through a stage. You can check the value from the marking: the 4-digit value code for this part is 2492, which reads as 249 followed by 2 zeros, or 24,900 ohm. On a body this small some makers print the EIA-96 code 39C instead (39 means 249, C means times 100), and some print no marking at all, so the board list is the final check. There is no 3-digit code for this value — 249 as a 3-digit code would mean 24 followed by 9 zeros, which is a different part entirely.

Checks before you order

• Value: your board list must call for 24.9K. A nearby value is not the same part — 25K is close but it is not 24.9K, and if your board needs a different value, stop and check the board list again. A 20K part in the same 0603 body is a different value for a different job, not a swap for this one.
• Power and heat: the power this part turns into heat must stay at or below 0.1W, and that 0.1W counts only up to 70°C ambient — above that, the safe power drops, so check the derating for your real working temperature. Work out the power from your real voltage and current (power = voltage × current) and keep it inside 0.1W with room to spare.
• Voltage: the voltage across this part must stay at or below about 49.9V in steady use. At this value the power rating is the real limit: at 75V the part would use about 0.23W, far above its rating, even though 75V is the series voltage limit. Work out the voltage from your circuit before you order.
• Tolerance: the real value may sit up to 1% away from 24.9K. If your circuit needs tighter than 1%, this part is the wrong pick — do not hope the part you get sits near the middle.
• Body and fit: your board must take a 0603 surface-mount body. Measure the old part and match it against the pads and the space on your board. The series body is about 1.60 mm long, 0.80 mm wide, and 0.45 mm high — if your old part is much bigger, check the board list again before you order. A 5.1K part in the same 0603 body is a different value for a different job, not a swap for this one.
• Fit for the job: if your circuit only needs a fraction of a tenth of a watt, this part still works. Match the value first, then the power, then the body — a through-hole resistor is the wrong shape for a surface-mount board, even if the value matches.

Other names for the same part (good to know)

Shoppers and repair techs call this same part by a few names. 24.9k ohm is the plain name from its value. 24.9k ohm resistor is the name buyers use with the unit spelled out. 24.9k ohm 0603 resistor is the name buyers use when the body size matters. SMD resistor is the name for its surface-mount style. 24.9k ohm 1% is the short name that carries the value and the tolerance together. If your board list calls for 24.9K at 0.1W with 1% tolerance in a 0603 body, this page is the right match. Do not judge by size alone — check the value, the power, and the tolerance too.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does 24.9K mean?

It means 24,900 ohms of resistance. K stands for kilo, which means one thousand, so 24.9K is 24.9 × 1,000 ohms.

What does 1% mean, and what does 0.1W mean?

1% is the tolerance: the real resistance may sit up to 1% above or below 24.9K, so between 24.651K and 25.149K. 0.1W is the power rating: the most power the part can turn into heat without damage, rated at 70°C ambient, with less allowed as it gets hotter.

What is the 2492 marking on the body?

It is the 4-digit value code for this part: 249 stands for the digits 249, and the last 2 means two more zeros, so 2492 means 24,900 ohms. On a body this small some makers print the EIA-96 code 39C instead (39 means 249, C means times 100), and some print no marking at all. There is no 3-digit code for this value: 249 as a 3-digit code would mean 24 followed by 9 zeros, which is wrong.

Can I use this part at 75 V if the power is small?

No. At 24.9K the 0.1W rating is the limit that matters: it caps the steady voltage at about 49.9V. At 75V this part would use about 0.23W, far above its rating. The 75V figure is the series voltage limit, not a voltage you can use at this value.

How do I fit a 0603 chip resistor?

Solder it onto the matching pads on the board — it has no leads, so it sits flat on the pads. Check the pad spacing against the 1.6 mm body before you solder, use a fine tip and a small amount of solder, and do not overheat the part. A magnifier helps, because the part and its marking are very small.

What is the price of this part?

Check the live price on the website. The price shown on the product page is the current one.

Use note kept from the old page: this part was listed before only with the generic SMD description — a 0603 SMD resistor as a passive two-terminal part, rectangular in shape, with metal ends that make contact with the printed circuit board through solder — with a 24.9K ohm resistance, 0.1W power, and 1% tolerance, in a body 1.5 mm × 0.85 mm and 0.45 mm high — and that use still stands. (The old page stated no product-specific use for this part, so this note carries only the generic description and the spec-block facts.)

Also from the old page: this part was also listed for voltage regulation and power management, with excellent thermal stability and durability for harsh environments including solar energy applications, and for reducing power loss, keeping operation smooth, and maintaining optimal energy conversion in renewable energy systems and solar inverters.
