Standard Values of Electronic Devices

Many electronic devices are available with standardized values. These standard values differ in the resolution of the values and the allowed tolerances - the better the resolution, the smaller the allowed tolerance. The following tables specify the most important standard series E12, E24, E48 and E96 (the number in the identifier specifies the number of values per decade).

The values of a standard series repeat within each decade (e.g. 8.2 Ohm, 82 Ohm, 820 Ohm, 8.2kOhm, 82 kOhm, ...) and are selected in a way that they cover the entire range at the corresponding tolerance.
