6.8K ohm – 1/4W – Resistor – 1206

A?resistor?is a?passive?two-terminal?electrical component?that implements?electrical resistance?as a circuit element. In electronic circuits, resistors are used to reduce current flow, adjust signal levels, to?divide voltages,?bias?active elements, and terminate?transmission lines, among other uses. High-power resistors that can dissipate many?watts?of electrical power as heat, may be used as part of motor controls, in power distribution systems, or as test loads for?generators. Fixed resistors have resistances that only change slightly with temperature, time or operating voltage. Variable resistors can be used to adjust circuit elements (such as a volume control or a lamp dimmer), or as sensing devices for heat, light, humidity, force, or chemical activity.

Resistors are common elements of?electrical networks?and?electronic circuits?and are ubiquitous in?electronic equipment. Practical resistors as discrete components can be composed of various compounds and forms. Resistors are also implemented within?integrated circuits.

MD stands for Surface Mounted Device. An SMD is any electronic component that is made to use with SMT, or Surface Mount Technology. SMT was developed to meet the ongoing desire for printed circuit board manufacture to use smaller components and be faster, more efficient, and cheaper.
