Smd Resistor Code 101- Check!! value, and calculations
If you are looking for the value of SMD resistor code 101 in Ohms then you should check images along with its notation below.
The value of SMD resistor code 101 is 100 ohms. Check why?
Now,
SMD resistors generally have markings on it. There are three coding systems for smd resistance:
- 3 digit SMD resistor coding sys.
- 4 digit SMD resistor coding sys.
- EIA96 SMD resistor coding sys.
The surface mount device shown below with code 101:
Lets the code on smd resistor be XYZ.
Then, the usual formula to calculate the value of smd resistor code of 3-digit,
XYZ → XY * 10Z
→ XY * 10Z Ω
The first 2 digit in the code specifies the significant digits, and the third one is a multiplier digit. This system is same as that of the resistor colour code used in cylindrical carbon resistor large size we use. Here simply numbers are used instead of colors.
For calculating smd resistor code 101,
Here, X = 1 (1st digit)
Y = 0 (2nd digit)
Z = 1 (3rd multiplier digit)
101 → 10 × 10Ω
→ 10 × 101 Ω
→ 100Ω
So, it is a 100Ω resistor code 101 smd resistor. By looking at this three-digit code you can not guess the power ratings of a resistor so you have to refer the datasheet by the part manufacturer/ supplier. The SMD device size depends primarily on the specified power rating we will be discussing it in next post.
