SMD resistor codes

Formulas, limitations and content checked according to our Editorial method.

Enter the marking printed on a resistor to obtain its value in ohms, kΩ or MΩ and the decoding rule.

Calculate

Worked example

103 means 10 × 10³ = 10 kΩ; 4R7 means 4.7 Ω; EIA-96 code 01C corresponds to 10 kΩ.

Calculation limits

Proprietary markings, zero-ohm links, tolerances and special codes may differ. Always verify the component documentation or bill of materials.

Frequently asked questions

What does the letter R mean?
