What is 4 color code resistor?
The four band color code is the most common variation. These resistors have two bands for the resistance value, one multiplier and one tolerance band. In the example shown here, the 4 bands are green, blue, red and gold. By using the color code chart, one finds that green stands for 5 and blue for 6.
What is resistor and its color coding?
So, colour bands are printed on them to represent the electrical resistance. These colour bands are known as resistor colour codes. The resistor colour code was invented in the 1920s by the Radio Manufacturers Association (RMA). All leaded resistors with a power rating up to one watt are marked with colour bands.
How do you read a 4 digit resistor?
Resistor Code Format
Similar to the three digit EIA, the four digit format uses the beginning values to indicate the significant digits while the last digit is the multiplier. 'R' is used to indicate the position of a decimal point. The four digit format allows for higher precision.
What color is a 4.7 K resistor?
A 4.7K Ohm resistor can be identified via resistor color codes of Yellow-Purple-Red-Gold or Yellow-Purple-Black-Brown-Gold.
What color is a 5 ohm resistor?
The color code of the 1.01 ohm resistor for is brown - black - brown - silver - [Tolerance]. 1.02 ohm resistor color code for 5 band resistor is brown - black - red - silver - [Tolerance]. 1.04 ohm 5 band resistor color code is brown - black - yellow - silver - [Tolerance].
How do you read color codes?
Hex color codes start with a pound sign or hashtag (#) and are followed by six letters and/or numbers. The first two letters/numbers refer to red, the next two refer to green, and the last two refer to blue. The color values are defined in values between 00 and FF (instead of from 0 to 255 in RGB).
Why do we use resistor color?
So to overcome this, small resistors use coloured painted bands to indicate both their resistive value and their tolerance with the physical size of the resistor indicating its wattage rating. These coloured painted bands produce a system of identification generally known as a Resistors Colour Code.
What color is a 470K ohm resistor?
470K Ohm Resistor Color Code: Yellow, Violet, Yellow, Golden.
How are resistors numbered?
The first two numbers represent the first two most-significant digits of the value, the last number represents a magnitude. In the above example picture, resistors are marked 104, 105, 205, 751, and 754. The resistor marked with 104 should be 100kΩ (10x104), 105 would be 1MΩ (10x105), and 205 is 2MΩ (20x105).
What is 1K ohm resistor?
The 1K Ohm resistor is a passive electronic component used to control the flow of electric current in a circuit. It has a resistance value of 1,000 ohms and is used to limit the current flow in a circuit to a specific level.
How do you read a color code?
Hex color codes start with a pound sign or hashtag (#) and are followed by six letters and/or numbers. The first two letters/numbers refer to red, the next two refer to green, and the last two refer to blue. The color values are defined in values between 00 and FF (instead of from 0 to 255 in RGB).
How do you read resistor numbers?
Resistor Values are read starting from the line closest to the end of the resistor. They will either have 4 bands or 5 bands. If there are four bands then the first two are the value of the two most significant digits, the third is the multiplier, and the fourth is the precision.
What color is a 1 ohm resistor?
1 Ohm Resistor Color Code: Brown, Black, Golden, Golden. Resistance: 1 Ohm, Power Rating: 1 Watt, Approximate Maximum Current: 1Amps .
What do color codes mean?
A HTML color code is an identifier used to represent a color on the web. Color codes are ways of representing the colors we see everyday in a format that a computer can interpret and display. Commonly used in websites and other software applications, there are a variety of formats.
What is R and K in resistor?
Resistor shorthand
Instead the letters R, K and M are used in place of the decimal point. To read the code: replace the letter with a decimal point, then multiply the value by 1000 if the letter was K, or 1000000 if the letter was M. The letter R means multiply by 1. For example: 560R means 560.
What color is a 1.5 K ohm resistor?
For a 1K5 or 1500 Ω resistor with a tolerance of ±5%, the bands will be brown, green, red and gold.
