question on standard resistor values

jamesw2965
jamesw2965 24 days ago

Hey all,

I'm getting back into my electronics and I'm wondering if anyone knows where i can find a chart with standard resistor values. Also does anyone know where I can get a resistor Value chart. I know you can get all this online, but I'm looking for a chart i can take with me encase i'm offline and don't have the ability to be online.

Thanks

    Hi, It's just called a E-series, it's not really a chart, it's just a list of numbers. From Wikipedia , it is (for E24, which are the most popular generally): E24 values (5% tolerance) …

    I think the E series indicates how many values are between each order of magnitude and the relationship between each is an exponential progression.

    For example E12 has 12 values between 1 and 10 or between 10 and 100 etc. whare the next value is equal to the previous value multiplied by 10^(1/12) (and rounded to the nearest tolerance value) For E24 the next value = previous value x 10^(1/24).

    Music uses a similar relationship where each octave has 12 notes but octaves only double in frequency so each note  equals the previous frequency multiplied by 2^(1/12)

    If you remember the equation, you don't need a chart, but you may need a calculator...Relaxed

    If you just remember the values for one order of magnitude, they simply get multiplied by 10 in the next decade. If you stick to E12, you only need to remember 11 numbers.
