What Are The Ways to Distinguish Between Resistors and Capacitors?

Consumer electronics, small equipment-based products, vehicle-based electronic products for large chip resistors have occurred more and more needs. In particular, the electronic needs of the automotive industry, smt processing products increased significantly, however, the data of the car to the new energy electric vehicle bias intensified growth, generated the need for chip processing of resistors.

In addition consumer electronics once in various small areas of application, in addition to chip resistors have high efficacy, high demand, thinning, miniaturization are important highlights. 2018 minimum chip resistor size precision for 01005. commonly used chip resistors, chip inductors and chip capacitors in the shape of difficult to distinguish. So how do we go about our daily lives to quickly identify the commonly used SMT chip components? This is a lot of newcomers to the industry bumped into a difficult problem.

I. Chip resistors and chip capacitors to distinguish

Look at the colour – all chip capacitors are no silk screen, from the production process is upside down low temperature sintering, no outside printing. The colour is mostly greenish gray.

Look at the mark – chip capacitor in the circuit symbol for “C”, chip resistor symbol for “R”.

The resistors are usually the same as the ones with silkscreen.

II. The chip capacitor and chip inductor to distinguish

Look at the colour – different as long as the circumscribed chip tantalum capacitor is black, other than black at all. And chip inductors are simply black.

Look at the model code – chip inductors to start with L, chip capacitors to start with C. The shape of the inductor is round to begin with to determine should be inductors.

The company’s main business is to provide a wide range of products and services to its customers.

III. Chip resistors and chip inductors to distinguish

Based on the shape – the shape of the inductor has a multilateral shape, while the resistor is simply rectangular in shape. In particular, when round, the same usually identified as inductors.

The resistance value of the inductor is relatively small, and the resistance value of the resistor is relatively large.
