E-series defined in IEC 60063 are a widely accepted system of preferred |
|
|
|
numbers for electronic components. Available values are approximately |
|
|
|
equally spaced in a logarithmic scale. Although E-series are used for |
|
|
|
Zener diodes, inductors and other components, this calculator is mainly |
|
|
|
intended for resistors. |

If your design requires any resistor value which is not readily available, |
|
|
|
this calculator will find a combination of standard E-series components to |
|
|
|
create it. You can enter the required resistance from 0,0025 to 4000 kOhm. |
|
|
|
Solutions using 3 or 4 resistors are given if a better match can be found. |
|
|
|
The 4R checkbox option will take longer to process is considered for the E12 |
|
|
|
series only. Optionally it is possible to exclude up to two additional |
|
|
|
values from the solution for the reason of being not available. If a |
|
|
|
E-series value is entered to the required input field, it is always excluded |
|
|
|
from any solution as it is assumed that this value is unavailable. |

|
This calculator finds combinations of standard E-series components to |
|
|
|
create arbitrary values. You can enter the required resistance from 0,0025 to 4000 kOhm. |
|
|
|
Solutions using up to 3 components are given. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If a closer solutions is needed, the 4R checkbox option will give solutions |
|
|
|
using 4 components for the E12 series only. This option |
|
|
|
may take longer to compute. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
It is also possible to specify up to two values to exclude from the solution if these |
|
|
|
component values are not available |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
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 |
|
|
|
__Example:__ Voltage dividers, commonly used for 1:10 range selection |
|
|
|
require resistor ratio values 1:9. Unfortunately the "9" is a value, what |
|
|
|
is not even in the E192 series available. Deviation of 1% and more is yet |
|
|
|
unacceptable for 8 bit accuracy. For a required resistor value of 9 kOhm, |
|
|
|
the calculator suggests the E6 values 2k2 + 6k8 in series as a possible |
|
|
|
exact solution. |
