So according to the formula the resistance will be: 103 * 100 = 10300 Ohms with 5% tolerance and 100 ppm/K temperature coefficient value. Let’s take an example of a 6-band resistor with the colors given in the above image (brown, black, orange, red, gold and brown). cw transceiver, 6 transistor gr-151b manual, 6 transistor radio, 6 transistor radio schematic, 6 transistor sram cell, 6.8k resistor color code, 63v 10000uf capacitor, 68 ohm resistor color code. ‘ f’ represents the 6 th significant digit, which is the sixth band color of resistor and this is the temperature coefficient value of resistor. The 1.8K Ohm 1/4W Resistor Holco range of Precision Metal Film Resistors meets the requirement for economically priced components for industrial. 100 pieces new, 6,8K ohm 1/4 Watt 5 carbon film resistors,Manufacturer: SEI STACKPOLE,Good product low price,Discount Shop,Great Quality at Low Prices. To make mass manufacturing of resistors easier, the IEC (International Electrotechnical Commision) defined tolerance and resistance values for resistors in 1952. ‘ e’ represents the 5 th significant digit, which is the fifth band color of resistor and this is the tolerance value of resistor. A resistor colored Blue-Brown-Green-Silver-Blue would be 6.15 with a tolerance of +/- 0.25. ‘ d’ represents the 4 th significant digit, which is the fourth band color of resistor and this is the multiplier value used in formula.

‘ c’ represents the 3 rd significant digit, which is the third band color of resistor. ‘ b’ represents the 2 nd significant digit, which is the second band color of resistor. ‘ a’ represents the 1 st significant digit, which is the first band color of resistor. Just have a look to the resistor color code chart below and see the calculations, how the resistance value is calculated according to this chart.Ĭalculating resistance for a 6-band resistor To calculate the resistance of a resistor, you can select the appropriate color bands in the above resistor color code calculator.

A resistor is identified by its pattern of color of bands. 5.6K ohm Carbon Film Resistor (Green-Blue-Red-Gold) 6.2K ohm Carbon Film Resistor (Blue-Red-Red-Gold) 6.8K ohm Carbon Film Resistor (Blue-Gray-Red.
