Resistor Standard E-Series Values Infographic

This infographic provides details of the standard values, E-series values that have been adopted for resistors and many other components.

In order to provide a manageable number of resistor values to be used within circuit designs, a scheme called the E-series has been adopted.

This series of standard values has also been adopted for use by other components including capacitors, inductors, Zener diodes and many more.

There are many advantages gained from adopting this system of values: it keeps the number of values available within manageable limits.

By keeping to the lowest E-series, it is possible to minimise the number of different components in any design and thereby simplify manufacture and lower costs.
