Resistor Colour Coding

Resistor Colour Coding

Resistor's Look:

• 1st Band   - It tells the first significant value
• 2nd Band  - It tells the second significant value
• Multiplier  -It simply tells the number of zeros
• Tolerance  -It tells the tolerance of the resistor

Colour's Values:

The Values of colours can be seen from the image above.The order of the colours cannot be changed.

         This image above shows a 6-band resistor.

• 1st,2nd,3rd Band are the significant values (the values should be written in order of the colours)
• 4th Band is the multiplier(number of zeros)
• 5th Band is the tolerance
• 6th Band is the temperature coefficient

NOTE:

• For a 5-Band resistor the temperature coefficient will not be given(the final band(temperature coefficient) in the 6-Band resistor is neglected) which means only 5-Bands.
