What SMD 0402?

Product Description. The yellow / gold color 0402 LED is a vibrant color that you can’t go wrong with. This LED is used in many of today’s popular electronics. This is known as one of the smallest leds in the world.

How do I know what size SMD resistor I need?

The size of SMD resistors is indicated by a numerical code, such as 0603. This code contains the width and height of the package. So, the imperial code 0603 indicates a length of 0.060″ and a width of 0.030″. The SMD package code can be given in either imperial or metric units.

What is SMD code?

SMD stands for Surface Mounted Device. An SMD is any electronic component that is made for use with SMT, or Surface Mount Technology. The manufacture of PCBs using SMT is similar to that for components with leads. Small pads of silver or gold plate or tin-lead are placed on the board for attaching the components.

How many types of SMD are there?

There are three popular package types for SMD transistors. They use the small outline transistor (SOT) style. SOT-23 is used for small-signal transistors and measures 2.9 mm x 2.4 mm x 1.1 mm. SOT-323 is used where you need to fit in a smaller space and measures 2.1 mm x 2.1 mm x 0.9 mm.

What is the size of 0603?

0.6mm x 0.3mm

Is 0603 metric or imperial?

0201 is imperial and 0603 is metric. Here is the breakdown of the numbers, 0603 approximate dimensions are 0.6mm x 0.3mm which is as simple as removing the decimal point to make that pack size. The imperial size for the 0603 is 0201 which is 0.02 in × 0.01.
