Supports resistors with 3 4 5 and 6 bands.
Resistance band colors code.
The color code is given by several bands.
Black brown red orange yellow green blue violet gray and white.
How to use the resistor color code calculator.
As shown above a carbon composition resistor can have 4 to 6 bands.
If you want to find out the color bands for a value.
The resistor calculator tool calculates the color code for 3band 4 band 5 band and 6 band resistors typically in the range of ohms kilo ohms and mega ohms.
Hence they are replaced with grey and yellow color bands.
Those are just a few reasons why colored resistance bands are popular for exercise fitness goals and rehabilitation.
To read the six strip colors codes on a resistor the first second and third strip color codes shows the first significant second significant and third significant figures.
Reading resistors is a very simple procedure if you use the chart and formula below.
Six band resistor color code calculator.
The resistance value is displayed on the field below together with the tolerance and the temperature coefficient.
Resistor color code chart and resistance calculator.
Light and medium bands are appropriate for beginning exercisers or those who want to increase muscular endurance by doing high repetitions 15 or more with less weight.
Resistors have standard colors for identification of the resistance value.
Select the number of bands then their colors to determine the value and tolerance of the resistors or view all resistors digi key has to offer.
A 5 band resistor is more precise compared to a 4 band type because of the inclusion of a third significant digit.
As a minimum two bands indicate the resistance value and one band serves as multiplier.
Light to medium tension bands are usually green or red in color but some brands use green to denote a heavy resistance.
The number of bands varies from three till six.
The gold and silver bands are prone to misconceptions of true colors in a resistor.
The resistance value will be calculated and shown along with the minimum and maximum values.
Breaking the code of resistance band colors.
The calculator above will display the value the tolerance and performs a simple check to verify if the calculated resistance matches one of the eia standard values.
Together they specify the resistance value the tolerance and sometimes the reliability or failure rate.
There is an additional color strip as temperature coefficient in 6 band resistor color code for high accuracy and precision.
4 band resistor color code calculator.
Select the first 3 or 4 bands for 20 10 or 5 resistors and all 5 bands for precision 2 or less 5 band resistors.
For each band select the matching color in the table column indicating the band number.
The resistance values are standardized these values are.
In order the colors are.
