What size is a 0402 resistor?

Chip Resistor Sizes

ROHM Part No. Chip Size (Length x Width) inch
***01 1.0 mm × 0.5 mm 0402
***03 1.6 mm × 0.8 mm 0603

***18 3.2 mm × 1.6 mm 1206

What is a 0402 resistor?

The 0402 package is nearly the smallest chip resistor package; only the 0201 chip resistor package is smaller. The small size of 0402 resistors puts their power dissipation rating quite low compared to larger resistors or comparable axial resistors. This then limits the current you can run through these devices.

What is resistor package?

Resistors are available in a large number of different package styles and sizes. The most commonly used today are the rectangular surface mount (SMD) resistors, but also the good old axial resistor is still used extensively in through-hole designs.

What are the different sizes of resistors?

The most common through-hole resistors come in an axial package. The size of an axial resistor is relative to its power rating. A common ½W resistor measures about 9.2mm across, while a smaller ¼W resistor is about 6.3mm long. A half-watt (½W) resistor (above) sized up to a quarter-watt (¼W).

Why are resistors different sizes?

Resistors come in different sizes depending on how much power they can safely dissipate. Larger packages dissipate higher wattage. No matter what the size, the color code is the same. For non-cylindrical and some large cylindrical resistors, the resistance is indicated with letters and numbers printed on the package.

Does the size of the resistor matter?

Re: Does length or diameter of a resistor matter? Yep, you got it. The larger the resistor is, the more power it can take before blowing up. The very act of resisting current generates heat.

What are the dimensions of surface mount resistors?

SMD resistor sizes. The shape and size of surface mount resistors are standardized, most manufacturers use the JEDEC standards. The size of SMD resistors is indicated by a numerical code, such as 0603. This code contains the width and height of the package.
