As an SMT (Surface Mount Technology) programmer, understanding the sizes, markings, and specifications of resistors, capacitors, and other components is crucial. Below is a detailed guide that covers the physical sizes in both imperial and metric units, as well as the various marking systems like the EIA-96 used for resistors.


Component Sizes in Imperial and Metric Units

SMT components come in standardized sizes that are commonly referred to by a numerical code. These codes represent the dimensions of the component in either imperial (inches) or metric (millimeters) units.

Resistor and Capacitor Sizes

CodeImperial Size (inches)Metric Size (mm)Length (L)Width (W)
02010.024" × 0.012"06030.6 mm0.3 mm
04020.040" × 0.020"10051.0 mm0.5 mm
06030.063" × 0.031"16081.6 mm0.8 mm
08050.080" × 0.050"20122.0 mm1.25 mm
12060.126" × 0.063"32163.2 mm1.6 mm
12100.126" × 0.100"32253.2 mm2.5 mm
18120.180" × 0.120"45324.5 mm3.2 mm
22200.220" × 0.200"57505.7 mm5.0 mm

Note: The imperial code denotes the length and width in hundredths of an inch, while the metric code represents dimensions in tenths of a millimeter.


Identifying Markings on Resistors

1. Standard 3-Digit and 4-Digit Codes

  • 3-Digit Code: Used for resistors with tolerances of ±5% or greater.

    • The first two digits represent the significant figures.
    • The third digit is the multiplier (number of zeros to add).
    • Example: A resistor marked with "472" means 47 × 10^2 Ω = 4.7 kΩ.
  • 4-Digit Code: Used for resistors with tolerances of ±1% or better.

    • The first three digits represent the significant figures.
    • The fourth digit is the multiplier.
    • Example: "1001" means 100 × 10^1 Ω = 1 kΩ.

2. EIA-96 Marking System

The EIA-96 system is used for high-precision resistors (±1% tolerance) and consists of:

  • Two-digit code: A number from 01 to 96 representing a standardized value.
  • Letter multiplier: A letter indicating the multiplier.

EIA-96 Code Table

CodeResistance ValueMultiplier LetterMultiplier
01100Z0.001
02102Y or R0.01
......X or S0.1
96976A1
B10
C100
D1000
E10000
F100000

Example: A resistor marked "27C" corresponds to:

  • Code "27": 174 Ω (from EIA-96 table)
  • Multiplier "C": ×100
  • Resistance: 174 Ω × 100 = 17.4 kΩ

Note: The EIA-96 table needs to be referenced for the exact resistance values corresponding to the codes 01 to 96.


Identifying Markings on Capacitors

1. Ceramic Capacitors

  • Three-Digit Code:

    • The first two digits represent the significant figures.
    • The third digit is the multiplier.
    • The value is in picofarads (pF).
    • Example: "104" means 10 × 10^4 pF = 100 nF.
  • Letter Codes for Tolerance:

    • F: ±1%
    • G: ±2%
    • J: ±5%
    • K: ±10%
    • M: ±20%

2. Electrolytic Capacitors

  • Usually have the capacitance and voltage rating printed directly.
  • Polarity is indicated with a stripe or a minus sign for the negative lead.

Other Components and Their Identifying Features

Inductors

  • May use color codes or alphanumeric codes similar to resistors.
  • Values are often in microhenries (µH).
  • Example: "100" means 10 × 10^0 µH = 10 µH.

Diodes

  • Markings:
    • Part numbers (e.g., "1N4148").
    • Polarity band indicating the cathode side.
  • SMD Diodes:
    • Use a two- or three-character code.
    • Manufacturer datasheets are needed for exact identification.

Transistors

  • Markings:
    • SOT-23 packages may have a two- or three-letter code.
    • Codes are manufacturer-specific.
  • Example: A transistor marked "A1E" could correspond to a specific type like a BC847B.

Understanding Specifications Through Markings

1. Datasheets

Always refer to the component's datasheet for accurate specifications, as marking codes can vary between manufacturers.

2. Manufacturer Codes

Some components use proprietary codes. Familiarity with manufacturers' coding systems is essential.

3. Color Codes

Less common in SMT but used in through-hole components.

  • Resistor Color Code:
    • Bands represent significant figures, multipliers, and tolerance.
    • Example: Red-Violet-Brown-Gold represents 27 × 10^1 Ω ±5% = 270 Ω ±5%.

Conclusion

Understanding the sizes and markings of SMT components is essential for accurate assembly and programming. Always cross-reference markings with manufacturer datasheets to ensure correct identification. Familiarity with standard codes like the EIA-96 system and the ability to interpret alphanumeric and color codes will greatly enhance your efficiency and accuracy as an SMT programmer.
