SMD resistor code calculator

This simple calculator will help you determine the value of any SMD resistor. To get started, input the 3 or 4
digit code and hit the "Calculate" button or Enter.
Note: The program was tested rigorously, but it still may have a few bugs. So, when in doubt (and when it's
possible) don't hesitate to use a multimeter to double-check the critical components.
See also the color code calculator on this page for MELF and standard through-hole resistors.

How to calculate the value of an SMD resistor

Most chip resistors are marked with a 3-digit or 4-digit code -- the numerical equivalent of the familiar color
code for through-hole components. Recently, a new coding system (the EIA-96) has appeared on precision
SMDs.

The 3-digit code

Standard-tolerance SMD resistors are marked with a simple 3-digit code. The first two numbers will indicate
the significant digits, and the third will be the multiplier, telling you the power of ten to which the two
significant digits must be multiplied (or how many zeros to add). Resistances of less than 10 ohms do not
have a multiplier, the letter 'R' is used instead to indicate the position of the decimal point.
3-digit code examples:
220 = 22 100 (1) = 22 (not 220!)
471 = 47 101 (10) = 470
102 = 10 102 (100) = 1000 or 1k
3R3 = 3.3

The 4-digit code

The 4-digit code is used for marking precision surface mount resistors. It's similar to the previous system,
the only difference is the number of significant digits: the firstthree numbers will tell us the significant digits,
and the fourth will be the multiplier, indicating the power of ten to which the three significant digits must be
multiplied (or how many zeros to add). Resistances of less than 100 ohms are marked with the help of the
letter 'R', indicating the position of the decimal point.
4-digit code examples:
4700 = 470 100 (1) = 470 (not 4700!)
2001 = 200 101 (10) = 2000 or 2k
1002 = 100 102 (100) = 10000 or 10k
15R0 = 15.0

RESISTOR : EIA-96
Recently, a new coding system (EIA-96) has appeared on 1% SMD resistors. It consists of a three character
code: the first 2 numbers will tell us the 3 significant digits of the resistor value (see the lookup table below)
and the third marking (a letter) will indicate the multiplier.

Notes:

an SMD resistor with a marking of 0, 00, 000 or 0000 is a jumper (a zero-ohm link).

a chip resistor marked with the standard 3 digit code and a short bar below the marking denotes a precision
(1% or less) resistor with a value taken from the E24 series (these values are usually reserved for 5%
resistors). For example: 122 = 1.2k 1%. Some manufacturers underline all three digits -- do not confuse
this with the code used on low value current sensing resistors.

SMDs with values in order of milliohms, made for current sensing applications are often marked with the
help of the letter M or m, showing the decimal point location (with the value in milliohms). For
example: 1M50 = 1.50m, 2M2 = 2.2m.

Current sensing SMDs can also be marked with a long bar on top (1m5 = 1.5m,R001 = 1m, etc.) or a
long bar under the code (101 = 0.101, 047 = 0.047). The underline is used when the starting 'R' has to
be omitted due to the limited space on the resistor's body. So, for example, R068 becomes 068 = 0.068
(68m).

Power rating
To find out the approximative power rating of your SMD resistor, measure its length and width. A few
commonly used package dimensions with the corresponding typical power ratings are presented in the table
below. Use this table as a guide only, and always consult the component's datasheet for the exact value.

Tolerance
The standard 3 and 4 digit code does not give us a way to determine the SMD resistor's tolerance.
In most cases, however, you'll find that a surface mount resistor marked with the 3-digit code has a
tolerance of 5% and a resistor marked with 4-digit code or the new EIA-96 code has a tolerance of 1%
or less.
There are many exceptions to this rule, so always check the manufacturer's datasheet, especially if the
component's tolerance is critical for your application.
