Resistor Colour Code

Resistor color code is used to easily identify a resistors resistive value and its percentage tolerance.

Resistor colour code. Select the number of bands then their colors to determine the value and tolerance of the resistors or view all resistors Digi-Key has to offer. Introduction to Resistor Colour Codes. It consists of the set of individual coloured rings or bands in the spectral order where each one is representing each digit of the value of the resistor.

None 0 - Black 1 -. Just select the color bands from your resistor and the site will determine the resistor value for you. The resistor colour code was invented in the 1920s by the Radio Manufacturers Association RMA.

Color-coding is a method used to indicate the resistive value tolerance and temperature coefficient of resistors with low wattage rating because of their small size. The resistor colour code markings are always read one band at a time conventionally in left to right manner. Color banded axial lead resistors with 4 or 5 bands are supported.

Use this website to convert resistor color codes into resistor ohm value and tolerance. La norme internationale CEI 60757 intitulée Code de désignation de couleurs 1983 définit un code de couleurs pour inscrire leur valeur sur. 11 rows Resistor color code saying the Fifth band is black which type of resistor.

Color-coding is standardized by the Electronic Industries Association EIA. The first resistor in the chart with 4 bands tells you the minimum information you can learn from a resistor. When looking at the chart note the illustration of three round resistors with numerous color code bands.

Student engineer or maker. For a wire wound. The resistor color code is the way of working out the values of a resistor.
