Passive components are commonly made with E-series values appropriate to their precision.
|
|
Capacitors commonly use E12 values. 10% and 5% resistors commonly use E24 values. 1%
|
|
resistors use E96 values. Other series are not commonly used.
|
|
|
|
To select a value begin with the calculated target value and then round it to 2
|
|
significant figures for E24 or below or 3 significant figures for E48 and up.
|
|
Then find the value in the table which is nearest to the significant figures
|
|
remaining and substitute it for those figures.
|
|
|
|
For example if the calculated target value is 16,834.2Ω then this rounds to 16,800Ω.
|
|
The nearest value to 168 is 169 and the selected E96 value is 16.9kΩ.
|
|
|
|
The value 0 is a special case and is not present in any series. |
