Resistor Tolerances
1 Film Resistors 2 Carbon Resistors
Tolerances for film resistors range Carbon resistors have tolerances up to
from 1% to 10%. 20%.

3 Precision Resistors
Resistors with tolerances lower than 2% are called precision resistors and are more
expensive.
Tolerance Color Code

1 Brown 2 Red
Denotes a tolerance of 1%. Denotes a tolerance of 2%.

3 Gold 4 Silver
Denotes a tolerance of 5%. Denotes a tolerance of 10%.
Resistance Range
To determine the range of the resistance considering the tolerance
percentage, the following formula can be applied: R min = R nominal – ( R
nominal ×T ) R max = R nominal + (R nominal ×T)
Resistor Identification
An international and universally accepted resistor color code scheme was
developed as a simple and quick way of identifying a resistor's ohmic value,
no matter its size or condition.
