Below is a figure of a resistor color code for a 1 4-band resistor:Ĥ-band 100 ohm resistor color code is calculated as:Ĥth-band= Gold= ±5% (tolerance) – The resistor color code table can be used to determine the color code of a 1 ohm resistor.

So, if you have a four band resistor with the colors red, blue, yellow and brown, you’ll know that your digit value is 26. If you see that, it means that it is the tolerance band because gold and silver cannot be digit values.Ĭombine the values of the different bands to find the one value. The best way to do this is to first look for gold or silver. This is the band that will be either brown, red, gold or silver. To do so, determine first which is the tolerance band. Now that you have the values, reading the band becomes easier. When you have the two digits, you multiply them with the multiplier. These make up the third or fourth band–depending on if it is a four or five band resistor–and are the multiplier.
These make up the first two or three bands–depending on if it is a four or five band resistor–and therefore make up the value of digits. Values for Different Colors on Resistor Code For five band resistors, the first three bands are the value digits, the fourth is the multiplier and the fifth is the tolerance.
For four band resistors, the first two bands are the value digits, the third band is the multiplier and the fourth is the tolerance. For resistors with a tolerance anywhere from 1% to 2%, there will be five bands. For resistors with a tolerance anywhere from 5% to 10%, there will be four bands. Reading Resistor CodeĬount the number of color bands on the resistor.
In other words, by using different colors, an average user can determine exactly what the Ohms are for the resistor. Therefore, a system was developed to use colors to determine the resistor code. However, unless the size of the resistor is large, the code is rarely written on it because it would require very tiny markings. Resistors can come in different sizes and shapes allowing for different voltages to go through it.
