Problem:
What is a simple way to select resistors when a value is calculated?
Solution:
The following JavaScript program allows selection of the closest value to an entered value. In addition,
the program can be used as a calculator or to select capacitors or inductors.
The EIA types such as E6, E12, etc. were developed by EIA with the number (6 or 12) being the number
of values per decade. Usually the E6, E12, E24, E48, E96 or E192 values exhibit tolerances of 20%, 10%, 5%,
2%, 1% or 0.5% respectively. Tighter tolerances such as 0.25%, 0.5% or 0.05% are available in E192 values from some manufacturers.
