What is the maximum current for this resistor?
Using P = I²R, at 1.2Ω and 0.5W the limit is about 0.65A. Running close to the rating heats the resistor, so choose a higher wattage for continuous loads.
Can I use it for current sensing?
Only for rough, low-current sensing. Carbon resistors have wider tolerance and more temperature drift than precision types, so use a precision shunt for accurate measurements.
