All SM resistors conform to a 3-digit or 4-digit
code. But there are a number of codes, according to the tolerance of
the resistor. It's getting very complicated. Here is a basic
3-digit SM resistor:
 A 330k SM resistor
The first two digits represent the two digits in the answer. The
third digit represents the number of zero's you must place after the
two digits. The answer will be OHMS. For example: 334 is written 33
0 000. This is written 330,000 ohms. The comma can be replaced by
the letter "k". The final answer is: 330k. 222 = 22 00 = 2,200 =
2k2 473 = 47 000 = 47,000 = 47k 105 = 10 00000 =
1,000,000 = 1M = one million ohms There is one trick you have to
remember. Resistances less than 100 ohms are written: 100, 220, 470.
These are 10 and NO zero's = 10 ohms = 10R or 22 and no
zero's = 22R or 47 and no zero's = 47R. Sometimes the
resistor is marked: 10, 22 and 47 to prevent a mistake.
Remember: R = ohms k = kilo
ohms = 1,000 ohms M = Meg = 1,000,000 ohms The 3 letters (R, k
and M) are put in place of the decimal point. This way you cannot
make a mistake when reading a value of resistance.

0000 is a value on a surface-mount resistor. It is a
zero-ohm LINK! Resistances
less than 10 ohms have 'R' to indicate the position of the
decimal point. Here are some examples:

A new coding system
has appeared on 1% types. This is known as the EIA-96 marking
method. It consists of a three-character code. The first two digits
signify the 3 significant digits of the resistor value, using the
lookup table below. The third character - a letter - signifies the
multiplier.

22A is a 165 ohm resistor,
68C is a 49900 ohm (49k9) and 43E a 2740000 (2M74).
This marking scheme applies to 1% resistors only.
A similar arrangement can be used for
2% and 5% tolerance types. The multiplier letters are
identical to 1% ones, but occur before the number code and
the following code is used:
