SMD resistor code

SMD resistors have a code consisting of three or four number or letters. You can use the calculator below to calculate the resistance of an SMD resistor. Some resistors use colored bands instead of numbers. You can find more information about those here.

Resistance: 0

Codes

Three digits

The first two digits represent the significant number. This number is multiplied by ten to the power of the last digit to get the resistance of the resistor.

Four digits

Four digit resistors have three significant digits instead of two. This number is also multiplied by ten to the power of the last digit.

Decimal point

Some resistors contain the letter R, which represents the decimal point. Resistors with the letter R have no multiplier, so all digits are linked together with a decimal point in the place of the R.

EIA-96 system

Some resistors have a code consisting of two numbers and one letter at the end. the two numbers represent a number with three significant digits. The letter at the end represents a specific power of ten. You can find all these values in the table below.
