The similarities between the chip capacitor and the chip resistor in appearance:

1, the two are similar in shape, both are cuboids. The following are the real pictures of the chip resistor and chip capacitor respectively.

2, the size of the chip resistor (mainly refers to the length and width) and the chip capacitor are mostly the same, for example, the common specifications on the market are 0201(0603), 0402(1005), 0603(1608), 0805(2012), 1206(3216), 1210(3225) and so on.

What are the differences between the appearance of the chip resistor and the chip capacitor?

1, color: ceramic patch capacitor surface body color is generally yellow. The body color of the patch resistor is black (the body of the alloy patch resistor is metal, and there will be other colors, such as green).

2, body screen printing: Because the chip capacitor needs to be fired at high temperature in the manufacturing process, it cannot be marked on the capacitor body. The patch resistor body is generally marked with silk screen. The marking is generally three or four digits, its meaning is the resistance value code, the first two or three digits are significant numbers, the last digit is the number of zeros after the significant number. See How to Identify nominal resistance values from the Patch resistance body.

3. Specification and size: Although smaller specifications such as 1210 are the same size, more than 1210 are not the same, and the optional size of the chip capacitor is more abundant. Such as 1808(4520), 1812(4532), 1825(4563), 2220(5750), 2225(5763), 3012(7632), 3035(7690). The larger patch resistance package is only common in 2010 and 2512 two kinds.
