• This calculator finds combinations of standard E-series (between 10Ω and 1MΩ) to create arbitrary values.
• You can enter the required resistance from 0.0025 to 4000 kΩ.
• Solutions using up to 4 components are given.

The requested value is always excluded from the solution set.
Optionally up to two additional values can be excluded in case of component availability problems.

Solutions are given in the following formats:

R1 + R2 +...+ Rn	resistors in series
R1 | R2 |...| Rn	resistors in parallel
R1 + (R2|R3)...		any combination of the above
