How to use the SMD resistor code calculator

  1. Enter the code printed on the part, such as 103, 4R7, 1002 or 01C.
  2. The calculator recognises the code system and gives the value and typical tolerance.
  3. Or enter a value to see how it is marked in each system.

SMD resistor code chart

Three-digit codes: two significant digits and a power of ten. Four-digit codes: three digits and a power of ten. R marks the decimal point. EIA-96 codes look up the E96 value from two digits and multiply by the letter, and are common on 0603 and smaller 1% parts.

Frequently asked questions

What is a 103 SMD resistor?

Three-digit 103 = 10 × 10³ = 10,000 Ω, i.e. 10 kΩ. Likewise 472 = 4.7 kΩ and 101 = 100 Ω.

How do I read codes like 01C?

This is EIA-96: 01 maps to 100 in the E96 table and C means × 100, so 01C = 10 kΩ ± 1%.

What does 000 or 0 mean?

A 0 Ω resistor used as a jumper or optional link. It has a current rating and is not a fuse.

Are my inputs uploaded?

No. Everything is calculated locally in your browser and nothing is stored; a share link only carries the values you entered.

Results are for design estimates and part selection; for production and safety-related circuits follow component datasheets, applicable standards and measurements.

smd resistor code calculator practical guide and common questions

What does a smd resistor code calculator do?

Three-digit codes are two digits and a power of ten; four-digit codes are three digits and a power of ten; R marks the decimal point. EIA-96 maps two digits to the E96 table and multiplies by a letter.

Who is this for, and when is it useful?

SMT line and incoming inspection staff, repair engineers and component buyers identifying chip resistor markings and checking BOMs.

How do I use this smd resistor code calculator?

Enter a code such as 103, 4R7, 1002 or 01C for the value and code system, or a value to see its 3-digit, 4-digit and EIA-96 codes.

How should I interpret the results?

Some makers use their own codes. EIA-96 letters R/Y, S/X and H/B are equivalent. A 0 Ω jumper has a current rating and is not a fuse.

Where is the work performed, and which services receive data?

Code decoding and lookup run in your browser; no input is uploaded.
