How do I know what size SMD resistor I need?

How do I know what size SMD resistor I need?

The size of SMD resistors is indicated by a numerical code, such as 0603. This code contains the width and height of the package. So, the imperial code 0603 indicates a length of 0.060″ and a width of 0.030″. The SMD package code can be given in either imperial or metric units.

How do you calculate SMD resistance?

Standard-tolerance SMD resistors are marked with a simple 3-digit code. The first two numbers will indicate the significant digits, and the third will be the multiplier, telling you the power of ten to which the two significant digits must be multiplied (or how many zeros to add).

What SMD 0805?

0805 is the smallest SMT resistor that is still easy to solder. 0603 is also still quite doable for most people, but it’s getting a bit smallish, and therefore more difficult. 0402 and smaller gets hard without very good equipment such as stereo microscopes. ( 10x magnification is enough)

What is EIA size?

Imperial Dimensions (EIA Standard) Metric Dimensions (mm) Size A. EIA 3216-18. 3.2 x 1.6 x 1.6.

What are the dimensions of a resistor?

A common ½W resistor measures about 9.2mm across, while a smaller ¼W resistor is about 6.3mm long. A half-watt (½W) resistor (above) sized up to a quarter-watt (¼W). Surface-mount resistors are usually tiny black rectangles, terminated on either side with even smaller, shiny, silver, conductive edges.

What is the tolerance level of SMD resistors?

Tolerance: In view of the fact that SMD resistors are manufactured using metal oxide film they available in relative close tolerance values. Normally 5%, 2%, and 1% are widely available. For specialist applications 0.5% and 0.1% values may be obtained.

What is the standard value of a resistor?

Standard Resistor Values. This page provides a quick reference for standard resistor values based on a specified tolerance. Standard Resistor Values : 0.1%, 0.25%, 0.5%. Standard Resistor Values : 1%. Standard Resistor Values : 5%. Standard Resistor Values : 10%.

What are SMD resistors?

SMD resistors are small rectangular shaped components with metalized areas at the ends. The metalized areas are used for soldering with the PCB. The SMD resistor has ceramic substrate on to it a metal oxide film is deposited. The thickness and length of this metal oxide film determines the value of resistance.
