? How to Identify Resistor Color Code

:Types of Band Resistor
► 4 band resistor :
► has 3 color bands on left side and one-color band on right side.
► First two bands represent significant digits, the 3rd band represents multiplier
and the fourth band on right side represents tolerance.
: Example 1
► Let us consider the color code for the resistor with the bands
BROWN-BLACK-RED-GOLD. Calculate Resistance value :

► Solution:
► Brown corresponds to the value ‘1’ in the color chart. Black
represents ‘0’ and Red represents ( (2)=10^2=100 ) the multiplier
‘100’. Thus, the value of the resistance to the corresponding color
code is 10*100 = 1000 ohms or 1 kilo ohm with the tolerance band
being Gold which represents a tolerance of +/- 5%.
:Cont. Types of Band Resistor
► 5 band resistor :
► has 4 color bands on left side and one-color band on right side.
► Here the first 3 color bands represent significant digits, fourth one represent
multiplier and the 5th one on right side represents tolerance.
: Example 2
► Let us consider the color code for the resistor with the bands
YELLOW-VIOLET-BLACK-BROWN-GREY calculate Resistance value and
Tolerance.

► Solution:
► Yellow corresponds to the value ‘4’ in the color chart. Violet
represents ‘7’ and Black represents the value ‘0’. Brown represents
1(10^1=10) the multiplier ‘10’.
► Thus, the value of the resistance to the corresponding color code is

470*10 = 4700 ohms or 4.7 kilo ohm with the tolerance band
being Grey which represents a tolerance of +/- 0.05%.
:Cont. Types of Band Resistor
► 6 band resistor :
► has 4 color bands on left side and 2 color bands on right side.
► Here the first 3 color bands represents significant digits, fourth one represents
multiplier, 5th one represents tolerance and the 6th one represents temperature
coefficient of the resistor.
: Example 3
► If the colors on a 6 band resistor is in this order: green, brown,
violet, black, gold and orange calculate Resistance value and
Tolerance and TCR (Temperature Co-efficient of Resistance).
Resistor Label Codes
► Another common type of marking is a three- or four-character label that
uses both digits and letters.
► An alphanumeric label typically consists of only three digits or two or
three digits and one of the letters R, K, or M. The letter is used to
indicate the multiplier, and the position of the letter indicates the
decimal point placement.

► The letter R indicates a multiplier of 1 (no zeros after the digits)


► the K indicates a multiplier of 1000 (three zeros after the digits)
► M indicates a multiplier of 1,000,000 (six zeros after the digits)
