## Description

Electronic Component Codes is a compact, easy-to-use extension for identifying resistor, capacitor, and inductor values from printed markings and color bands. It speeds up component identification for hobbyists, students, and engineers by decoding standard through-hole and SMD markings in seconds.

Supported features include resistor color codes, SMD and EIA-96 resistor codes, ceramic and film capacitor markings, tantalum capacitor color and SMD codes, and inductor color and SMD codes. The app also provides detailed help sections, explanations of code systems, and standard E-series value charts. Available in 11 languages (English, French, German, Indonesian, Italian, Polish, Portuguese, Russian, Spanish, Turkish, and Ukrainian). Try it to simplify your electronics work and speed up component selection and troubleshooting.
