Size Of Resistors In Watts

You can find surface mount resistors as large as 63mm x 31mm which is referred to as size 2512. The difference is that they are rated to work at much higher temperature with burning out.

Use the chart for resistors under five watts.

Size of resistors in watts. Resistor wattage resistor wattage means two things. Resistors can have wattage ranges that start from 003 watts to kilowatts and higher. The physical size of a resistor tells you number of watts it is capable of dissipating.

The size of smd resistors is indicated by a numerical code such as 0603. If you were to install this new small form factor resistor it wont last as long as the original. This is called resistor wattage.

The ones i received were the size of 14 watt devices. Most resistors have their maximum resistive power rating given for an ambient temperature of 70 o c or below. The power rating of resistors can vary a lot from less than one tenth of a watt to many hundreds of watts depending upon its size construction and ambient operating temperature.

This code contains the width and height of the package. Original was 2 watt replace with a 2 watt resistor. Resistors rated for five watts or greater have the wattage rating printed on the body of the part.

Or replace it with a small form factor 3 watt resistor which is same physical size as 2 watt resistor. Simply read the printed rating for these larger resistors. Resistors can allow only a limited current amount passing through themonce the current passes through the resistor it produces heatif the heat is too great then the resistor will burn down.

Mostly 1 watt resistors are much larger than 14 or 12 watt. These can withstand 2 watts but not over the long term. So in the example of 0603 imperial code this indicates a length of 0060 and a width of 0030.

The smallest size is the 0201 package which measures a tiny 06mm x 030mm. Keep in mind that every manufacturer may have a variation of the measurements and power ratings other than what is in the chart below.
