Hold your smartphone over the resistor, and detects the object in real time and calculates the resistance value. Currently, only carbon film (brown) resistors with 4 lines and a margin of error of ± 5% (gold) are supported.
Electronic Component Codes
Quickly identify electronic component values using color codes and SMD markings. This utility supports resistors, capacitors, and inductors, offering detailed explanations and standard value charts.
- Resistor color code calculator
- SMD resistor code lookup
- Capacitor code identification
- Inductor color code guide
- E-series value charts
- Detailed help sections
