Basic question about resistor
Hi
I want to test a 1004 smd resistor with a multimeter if I right this is a 1M ohm resistor. My multimeter has a 2M ohm setting. now my question is my multimeter tests it at 0.045 on the 2M ohm setting is it a bad resistor. Sorry just getting myself confused Thanks Mark  Last edited by homerclone; 06-07-2014 at 07:43 AM.. |

Re: Basic question about resistor
In circuit can give a low measurement depending on other components connected to it.

Re: Basic question about resistor
1M, it should read 1 on the 2M scale of your meter.
the 4 digit code says 100 x 10^4 = 1,000,000 |

Re: Basic question about resistor
So it shows 998KOhms(0.998M Ohms), for 5% resistor, then it is OK.

Re: Basic question about resistor
Our posts crossed. 0.998M is good.
