Resistors passive devices contents quick reference of resistance range. Variable resistor values available at jameco electronics. Using standard resistor values can greatly impact the accuracy and predictability of a circuit by eliminating rounding errors incurred at the end of the design. In this video is explained what eseries and standard values for resistors are and how to use them. Often designs try to keep to the e3 or e6 standard resistor values, only using those in the e12, e24, e48 or e96 if absolutely necessary.
If you are not able to find the exact value of resistor that you have calculated for your circuit, then you have to select the next coming value of resistor that you have calculated. These preferred values are derived from an exponential function, so they are known as e series e6, e12, e24 and e96, whose values are given in appendix a. If you need a nonstandard resistor value you could probably realize a close match using two resistor. All standard resistor values can be found in the table below. Standard resistor values 5% standard capacitor values 10%. A higher number correlates to a lower tolerance and a higher precision. The e6 range has 6 values, and the e24 range 24 values per decade. Heres how you use the color code to figure out the nominal value of the resistor refer to the figure. This is a simple online calculator for color band resistor marking, inductor color band marking, ceramic or tantalum capacitor 3 digit marking and smd resistor 3digit, 4digit, 10%, 5%, 2% and eia96 e96 1% tolerance code marking.
The num ber series under the 10 % column is known as the e12 series because there are 12 standard values within a decade range. The values are as follows and note there are 24 values per column or decade, hence e24. As you can see in the chart, e24 values are nicely spaced between 100 and 1k ohms.

It consists of the e3e6e12e24e48e96 and e series, where the number after the e designates the quantity of value steps in each series. The e series consists of the e3, e6, e12, e24, e48, e96 and e192 series. It requires an external resistor for the 3 rd overtone selection. Youll find the values for the e6, e12, e24, e48, e96 and e192 series or preferred resistor values in this table. Generally, 5% tolerance resistors are available in e24 and 1% resistors in e96, but this is not a hard and fast rule. E12 resistor pack 14 watt 5% 350 pcs 70 values 10 to 5. Below 100 ohms or above 1k, the series simply repeats. As i understand, this can be read as brown, brown, black, black brown.
The next is the e6 series with six values in each decade for a 20% tolerance, e12 series with 12 values in each decade for a 10%, e24 series with 24 values in each decade for a 5% tolerance. But i am not sure how i would work out the resistor value if i didnt have a multimeter or the label. The basic difference is that the e24 have extra values between those of the e12. For example some low value 1% resistors are available in e12 only. When resistor is to be exposed to a transient load excessive large load,such as pulse, mount the resistor on your product and check the condition and evaluate the result. The number after the e denotes the number of values. Until fairly recently, 10% tolerance resistors were the norm, but today, 5% e24 resistors seem to be the most commonly used.
Usually, the colored band at one end is closer to that end than is. Each series denotes the number of different values in a decade. They still can be found in vintage radios, old amplifiers, etc. This means that you can always find an e12 resistor value within 10% of your required value. This allows easier purchasing migration between different tolerance parts. Use of standard values is encouraged because stocking progr ams are designed around them. The e12 range with its 10% tolerance therefore has 12 values per decade. This tool find the optimum set of r1,r2rn resistors for a desired ra value from a close resistor value as even as combining resistances. I was so surprised that i stopped what i was doing and learned how the eseries of standard resistor values were determined. Standard series values in a decade for resistances and. Generally, resistors come in standard values such as e6, e12, e24, e48, e96, and e192. The electronic industries association eia, and other authorities, specify standard values for resistors, sometimes referred to as the preferred value system. Preferred values there are a number of different ranges of values for resistors.
They take into account the manufacturing tolerance and are chosen such that there is a minimum overlap between the upper possible value of the first value in the series and the lowest possible value of the next. This page was last edited on 1 novemberat the preferred value system has its origins in the early years of the last century at a time when most resistors were carbongraphite with relatively poor manufacturing tolerances. Eia standard resistor values by tolerance% move the decimal point to achieve the actual value desired. It is a good practise to specify resistors from a low series when tolerance requirements are not high. But i remember the most common values simply through constant exposure. If you like it please feel free to a small amount of money to. This calculator will select the closest standard resistor value, from 1% 5% or 10% standard eia values, calculates the error, and prints out a table of the standard values for the given tolerance. P623 865 ic marking e5500 pl62338 2 pin 4 mhz oscillator text. Successive values within a decade series are related approximately by a factor of for the e12 series, for the e24 series, for the e96 series and for the e192 series. The e6 series resistor values are also widely used within the industry. The cost of running this website is covered by advertisements. Resistor value and ratio calculator nightshade electronics. Values for resistors in these series are given below.
Two decades of e12 values, which would give resistor values of 1. This can be useful when trying to find a matching resistor value when having done some electronics calculations and youre looking for a particular value. Or it can be read as brown, black, black, brown, brown. You want to find the e24 e48e96 resistor value that is closest to a given exact value programmatically using python. Following this logic, the preferred values for 10% tolerance resistors between 100 and 1,000 ohms would be 100, 120, 150, 180, 220, 270, 330 and so on rounded appropriately.

Resistors are available in a number of standard ranges, often called preferred values these ranges, or series, are set out by the electronic industries association eia, and are e3, e6, e12, e24, e48, e96 and e192. Other ranges of resistors such as the e6 and e24 ranges cover wide ranges of values in a similar way and have tolerance values of 20% and 5% respectively. Successive values within a decade series are related approximately by a factor. Other eia standards define the values for other tolerance ranges. Eseries values standard series values in a decade for. If you use two resistor in series it is quite easy to figure out which values give the best match.

The 120 ohm resistor has a value ranging between 110 and ohms. Constant application of a voltage above the rated voltage will degrade the performance and reliabillity of the resistor. The name e24 comes from the fact that there are 24 values per decade of resistance. Standard resistance values for the 10 to 100 decade also usable in decade multiples or submultiples e192 e96 e24 e12 e6 e192 e96 e24 e12 e6 e192 e96 e24 e12 e6 e192 e96 e24 e12 e6 e192 e96 e24 e12 e6 0. The eia preferred values or standard resistor values can be summarised in a tabular form to give the different values within each decade.
These standard resistor values are those which can be bought. The tolerance band on a resistor indicates the spread of possible values of any particular resistor, for example a resistor marked as 47k. Selecting resistor values traditionally has been a manual process where the calculated value is matched to a real value. Calculates resistors of the voltage divider network automatically. It consists of the e3, e6, e12, e24, e48, e96 and e192 series, where the. Three more resistors circuit is often combined to divide a voltage to branch a current. Since some values in the e24 series do not exist in the e48, e96 and e192 series, resistor manufacturers have added the missing e24 values to some of their 1%, 0.
