Decode SMD resistor markings without leaving the engineering workflow.

Fast lookup for standard 3-digit, 4-digit, decimal-R, and EIA-96 resistor codes with one-step copyable output.

Reads
103, 4R7, 01C
Best For
Bench checks and BOM validation
Returns
Formatted resistance value
Use It When
You need a quick decode from a body marking before replacement or rework.
You want a cleaner result than manual table lookup for EIA-96 or decimal-R parts.
You need a value you can copy directly into notes, tickets, or internal reports.

Standard Codes

3-digit and 4-digit format

Standard SMD resistor codes use significant figures followed by a multiplier.

  • First digits: significant figures
  • Last digit: multiplier power of ten
  • R: decimal point
103 →10 × 10³ = 10 kΩ
4R7 →4.7 Ω
Precision Series

EIA-96 lookup logic

EIA-96 markings are common on 1% resistors and combine a code with a multiplier letter.

  • Two digits: E96 series reference value
  • Letter: multiplier code
01C →100 × 100 = 10 kΩ
