SMD Resistor Code CalculatorSMD Resistor Code Calculator allows you to determine resistance by the SMD (surface mount device) resistor markings found on the device and to determine SMD resistor markings by resistance. It displays rated resistance and resistor tolerance. This tool supports 3-digit code, 4-digit code and EIA-96 code. The 3-digit code is used on ±5% tolerance SMD resistors. The first two numbers indicate the significant digits, and the third is the multiplier. "R" is used to indicate the position of a decimal point. Note: there is no multiplier if "R" is used. For example, 472 translates to 47 × 10² = 4700 Ω or 4.7 kΩ. 4R7 translates to 4.7 Ω. The 4-digit code is used on ±1% tolerance SMD resistors. The first three numbers indicate the significant digits while the last digit is the multiplier. "R" is used to indicate the position of a decimal point. Note: there is no multiplier if "R" is used. For example, 1002 translates to 100 × 10² = 10000 Ω or 10 kΩ. The EIA-96 code is used on ±1% tolerance SMD resistors. It uses three characters (two digits and a letter) in which the digits represent the value (for example, 12 = 12th value of the possible range) and the letter represents the multiplier.

Resistor Color Code and SMD Resistor Code CalculatorFrequently Asked QuestionsHow do SMD resistor case sizes (like 0805 or 0603) relate to their power dissipation ratings?The structural dimensions of an SMD resistor package directly dictate its surface area and its ability to radiate thermal energy into the PCB plane. Case sizes use standard imperial naming codes representing length and width measurements: an 0805 package measures approximately 0.08 × 0.05 inches.
Exceeding these continuous wattage limitations causes localized thermal expansion, shifts the internal resistance value, and can crack the solder joints. How to Read SMD Resistor Codes on a Smartphone or Laptop PCB?When repairing a modern electronic device, you often need to identify the value of a tiny surface-mounted resistor. For example, you see the code "472" printed on the board. SMD resistor code calculator instantly decodes it as 4.7 kΩ. Without this tool, you’d have to check long tables or guess the value — especially when markings are faded or partially erased. Who benefits: smartphone and laptop repair technicians, electronics students, DIY makers working with SMD boards. How to Identify SMD Resistors When Designing or Testing PCBs?During PCB design or prototype testing, an engineer sees codes like "100", "104", "332". The SMD resistor code calculator quickly converts them to 10 Ω, 100 kΩ, 3.3 kΩ, helping verify that the assembly matches the schematic. This is particularly useful when preparing a BOM (Bill of Materials) or checking for soldering or labeling errors. Who benefits: engineers, QA technicians, R&D specialists, and students learning circuit design. How to Find and Replace a Burned SMD Resistor in Home Electronics?When repairing a TV power supply board or charger, you might spot an SMD resistor marked "221". Using the SMD resistor code calculator, you instantly know it means 220 Ω — you can then find a suitable replacement and complete the repair safely and accurately. Who benefits: home DIY enthusiasts, hobbyists, and anyone fixing small electronic devices. |
