Use of the E series is mostly restricted to resistors, capacitors, inductors and Zener diodes. Commonly produced dimensions for other types of electrical components are either chosen from the Renard series instead (for example fuses) or are defined in relevant product standards (for example wires).
The IEC 60063 numbers are as follows. The E6 series is every other element of the E12 series, which is in turn every other element of the E24 series:
E6 (20%):
10 |
15 |
22 |
33 |
47 |
68 |
E12 (10%):

E24 (5%):

With the E48 series, a third decimal place is added, and the values are slightly adjusted. Again, the E48 series is every other value of the E96 series, which is every other value of the E192 series:

The E192 series is also used for 0.25% and 0.1% tolerance resistors.
1% resistors are available in both the E24 values and the E96 values.
