What does 4K7 and 1K2 mean for resistors?
“That is just the european notation. They replace the decimal point with the multiplier letter. This prevents the possible loss of the decimal point in transcribing data. For instance, 4.7K = 4K7, 1.2K = 1K2, 1M = 1M and so on. You’ll also find the Euro use of “nanofarads”, meaning 1/1000 microfarad or 1000 picofarads. For example, 0.001uF = 1nF = 1000pF. 0.022uF = 22nF. It’s handy, and less error prone.” (Thanks to R.G. Keen for this reply in the DIY forum!) I don’t have xxK resistor! You can put two or more resistors in series and their values will add up.
