EIA-96
Recently, a new coding system (EIA-96) has appeared on 19% SMD resistors. It consists of a
‘three character code: the first 2 numbers will tell us the 3 significant digits ofthe resistor value
(eee the lookup table below) and the third marking (a letter) will dicate the multiplier.

Notes:
+ an SMD resistor with a marking of 0, 00, 000 or 0000 is a jumper (a zero-ohrm link).
+ 2 chip resistor marked with the standard 3 digit code and a short bar below the marking
denotes a precision (1% of les) resistor witha value taken from the £24 serles (tse values
fare usually reserved for 5% resistors). For example: 122 = 1 2k 19. Some manufacturers
Undetine al three digs do not confuse this withthe code Used on low value current
sensing resistors.
+ SMDs with values in order of miliohms, made for current sensing appliations are often
marked with the help of the letter M or m, showing the decimal point location (with the value
in millohms). For example: 1MSO = 1.50mf, 2M2 = 2.2mN.
+ Current sensing SMDs can alzo be marked witha ong baron top (ZmiS = 1.5m2, ROOT =
‘mf, et.) or 8 long bar under the code (204 = 0.1019, 047 ~ 0.0470). The underin is
used when the starting 'R’ has 9 be omitted due tothe limited space onthe resistors Body.
So, for example, ROGB becomes 068 = 0.0682 (68m2).
