The first band gives the first digit the second band gives the second digit the third band indicates the number of zeros the fourth band shows the tolerance precision of the resistor but this may be ignored for almost all circuits. The small adjustments in resistor values are not sonically noticeable. Resistors are in stock with sameday shipping at mouser electronics from industry leading manufacturers. Resistor values are organised into a set of different series of preferred values or standard resistor values. The tolerance band on a resistor indicates the spread of possible values of any particular resistor, for example a resistor marked as 47k.
The multiplying factor gives the final value of the resistor, for example. A resistor is an electric element that limits the flow of the electric current into an electric circuit. When a circuit does not exceed the power rating, the resistor works reliably and without fuss for decades. Even the battery has parts that offer resistance to the flow of electrons. A resistor is a passive electronic component that opposes the flow of electrical current through it. This may lead to values like 149 ohms or 255,334 ohms.

As the chart at the right shows created in excel, plotting the values on a logarithmic scale results in a straight line. Resistors are available with ratings from a fraction of an ohm to millions of ohms, but they come in standard values only. Standard base resistor values are given in the following tables for the most commonly used tolerances 1%, 2%, 5%, 10%, along with typically available resistance ranges. Power rating of resistors in addition to having the required ohms value, a resistor should have a wattage rating high enough to dissipate the power produced by the current without becoming too hot. Resistor color code system how to read the resistor code. Round the results to the proper number of significant figures 3 for 1% and 2%, 2 for 5% and 10%. Colour codes and examples of 4band and 5band resistors.
Power rating depends on the resistors construction. Eia preferred values table for e24, e48, e96, and e196. To determine values other than the base, multiply the base value by 1, 10, 100, 1k, or 10k. Electrical resistance in serial and parallel networks resistors in parallel and serial connections. This handy wall chart is a great quickreference guide for your workshop or hackerspace. Here is an illustration of a small 18 or 14 watt resistor. It is a good practise to specify resistors from a low series when tolerance requirements are not high. This specification may be changed at any time without prior notice. How to read the resistor code first find the tolerance band, it will typically be gold 5%. These standard resistor values have a logarithmically based sequence and this enables the different values to be spaced in such a way that they relate to the component tolerance or accuracy. It is called the e12 series because there are 12 values, spaced exponentially across a change in value of a power of ten. Each letter, from a z, represents a specific multiplier. This calculator is designed to calculate a resistor decade of values. If there is no tolerance band, then find the side that has.
For example, the code 04 means 107 ohms, and 60 means 412 ohms. How to find burnt resistor value even without a schematic diagram page 5 jestine yong. For the first two bands, find that colors corresponding digit value. Standard series values in a decade for resistances and. How to determine resistor wattage based on size our pastimes. Resistor color code and types of resistors introduction to resistors. Omite produces high voltage chip resistors up to 50g. The two first numbers represent a code that indicates a resistance value with three significant digits. Where b is the series number 24 for 5%, 96 for 1% and n is the number in the series. Eia standard resistor values by tolerance% move the decimal point to achieve the actual value desired. However any other resistor value will be nonstandard and not preferred.
All resistor values entered with greater than 3 digits will be displayed in scientific notation. A current that is passed through the resistor is always directly proportional to the voltage across the terminals of the resistors.
