Resistor
Reading Resistor Values
Surface Mount
Surface mount resistors use a few coding
systems. If you see just numbers, the re-
sistor is probably using the E24 system. If
it has a letter at the end then it is proba-
bly E96.
E24
The first two numbers of an E24 resistor
represent the 2 most significant digits. The
third number represents the magnitude (10
to the power of the third number).
E96
An E96 resistor starts with two numbers
that can be looked up in the table, followed
by a letter that can be looked up in the
other table.
