My latest order just arrived today. I ordered some 0603 LEDS which are correct. However, the resistors I ordered are physically too small. Resistors don’t seem to come in the same sizes as LEDs. How can I order 510 ohm and 24k resistors that are the same size os the 0603 LEDS? ---

Sorry to hear that, Bart. Just so we know specifically to which parts you are referring, so we can get this right, what part numbers did you order? ---

I ordered, and received part numbers: 311-510LRCT-ND 510 ohm 1% 1/16W 311-24KLRCT-ND 24k 1% Both these packages do say they are 0402 size but I didn’t see that on the page where I ordered them. I know this is my mistake, but I really don’t want to repeat it. So, I’m asking Bart ---

Here are the equivalents in 0603 size: - [311-510HRCT-ND](https://www.digikey.com/en/products/detail/yageo/RC0603FR-07510RL/727285) 510Ω 1% 1/10W - [311-24.0KHRCT-ND](https://www.digikey.com/en/products/detail/yageo/RC0603FR-0724KL/727076) 24kΩ 1% 1/10W **Just as a side note for future reference:** Be careful about how package sizes are specified. There is both an “Imperial” code (a.k.a. the Electronics Industries Alliance (EIA) standard) and a “Metric” code for specifying size of small rectangular components, and a few of them have the same callout despite being different actual sizes. Specifically, both use 0201, 0402, 0603, and 1005 (actually 01005 for EIA). See this chart I found from [here](https://core-emt.com/imperial-code-vs-metric-code-smd-components-sizes): ![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/digikey/original/3X/2/c/2cff9c124eb6d3f9e229de291bb1af1b4a325794.png) This is why we try to give actual dimensions as well as the “Package/Case” name and the “Supplier Device Package” name. > ![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/digikey/original/3X/3/c/3c265faddbe7cb23708d4b59c77c13c2d627586c.png) ---

Thank you so much! I have ordered replacements. You know, I feel so much more tolerant when someone else makes a mistake then when it’s my fault. ---

You’re far from the first to do so, and you won’t be the last.
