Marking Codes used on Welwyn Chip Resistors

Where space allows, chip resistors are marked with value in 3 or 4 characters. The coding is 2 or
3 digits followed by one multiplier expressing the number of zeros. For example 472 = 4700 ohms
= 4K7, 1331 = 1330 ohms = 1K33, 330 = 33 ohms = 33R (N.B. not 330R). Lower values use R
as a decimal point. For example 4R7 = 4.7 ohms, 34R8 = 34.8 ohms.
For E96 values on 0603, EIA-96 marking code is 2 digits + 1 letter. Example: 07B = 1K15
