Resistor Code

the electronic color code is used to indicate the values or ratings of electronic components, very commonly for resistors, but also for capacitorsinductors, and others.

RESISTOR COLOR CHART




Resistor color-coding

 

  • band A is first significant figure of component value (left side)
  • band B is the second significant figure (Some precision resistors have a third significant figure, and thus five bands.)
  • band C is the decimal multiplier
  • band D if present, indicates tolerance of value in percent (no band means 20%)
