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). ‘ f’ represents the 6 th significant digit, which is the sixth band color of resistor and this is the temperature coefficient value of resistor. ‘ e’ represents the 5 th significant digit, which is the fifth band color of resistor and this is the tolerance value of resistor. ‘ 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.

Instructable: How to read color codes from resistors. More information about resistor color codes (external links): Wikipedia: Electronic color code. 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 Thus for a 100-ohm resistor with a 3-band color code, the color code would be Brown (1), Black (0), Brown (x10) 10 x 10 100 ohms It’s often helpful to think of the Multiplier stripe as representing the number of zeroes you add to the right of. Colors for multiplier band:black: 1brown: 10red: 100orange: 1000yellow: 10000green: 100000blue: 1000000gold: 0.1silver: 0.01. 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.
