D-5/D-50
Chip Component Indications
The official specifications which are presently indicated
are EIAJ standard.
(1) MELF (leadless): EIlAJ RC-8001
(2) Square chip components (laminated ceramic):
E1AJ RC-3699. Square chip resistors are presently
under study by EIAJ.
The following explanation covers square chip components
(MELF omitted).
1. 2-letter Method (EIAJ RC-3699)
@ Letter combination: letter + 1 number
@ Letter meaning: letter = effective numeric
number = multiplier
*
The units used are pF for capacitors and 2 (ohm) for
resistor.
(This is mainly used for Symbol! and Numeric and Multi-
plier capacitors.)

@ Ex.: Al 1x 10! = 10 pF (or, 10)
E3 1.5 x 10° = 1500pF (or, 1.5kQ)
2. 3-number Method
(Mainly used for chip resistors)
@ Number meaning:
1st and 2nd number = effective numeric
3rd number = multiplier of 10
Unit: pF for capacitor, for resistor
@ Ex.: 103 10 x 10°
100002 = 10 kQ
(or, 0.01 uF)
2200002 = 220 kQ
(or, 0.22 uF)
224 22 x 10°
3. 4+4etter Method (used for capacitor)
@ Letter combination: 3 numbers + 1 letter
@ Letter meaning: number = effective numeric +
multiplier of 10
(same as 3-number method)
letter = capacitor response
@ Symbol and Response
( For temperature compensation )

A is temperature coefficient tolerance, and is G, H,
J, K.
