Using the 0603 SMD resistors
Our SMD resistors in 0603 package are suitable as series resistors for LEDs, for example when installing decoders with our adapter boards. For space reasons, these have no series resistors of their own, so that they stay as small as possible.
The values 470 Ω, 680 Ω, 820 Ω, 1 kΩ, 2.4 kΩ, 4.7 kΩ, 6.8 kΩ and 8.2 kΩ are available, each in packs of 10 or 100. Please select the resistance value and pack size in the product options.
Frequently asked questions
Which resistor is the right one?
That depends on the supply voltage and the LED. As a rule of thumb: resistance = (supply voltage − LED voltage) ÷ LED current. A larger resistor makes the LED dimmer.
