Electrical component tolerance An electrical specification might call for a with a nominal value of 100 Ω, but will also state a tolerance such as '☑%'. The table below summarises the International Tolerance (IT) grades and the general applications of these grades: Measuring Tools Material IT Grade 01 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 Fits Large Manufacturing Tolerances An analysis of fit by is also extremely useful: It indicates the frequency (or probability) of parts properly fitting together. This method of standard tolerances is also known as Limits and Fits and can be found in. For a shaft of the same size h6 would mean 10+0-0.009, which means the shaft may be as small as 0.009 mm smaller than the base dimension and 0 mm larger. The actual amount bigger/smaller depends on the base dimension. Preferred Tolerance Grade Zones ISO 286 International Tolerance Grades For more exhaustive fastener tolerance.

The tolerances work in such a way that for a hole H7 means that the hole should be made slightly larger than the base dimension (in this case for an ISO fit 10+0.015−0, meaning that it may be up to 0.015 mm larger than the base dimension, and 0 mm smaller). The following ISO Tolerance Chart for bolts and holes per ISO 286. H7/h6 is a very common standard tolerance which gives a tight fit.
