Lesson 1,1403

The document explains the color coding system used for identifying the resistance values of resistors, particularly when they are too small to have numbers printed on them. It details how to read the color bands, including the significance of each band and the manufacturer's tolerance. An example is provided to illustrate how to determine the resistance range based on the color bands.

LESSON 1 Color Coding and Standard Resisto

A wide variety of resistors, fixed or variable, are large


enough to have their resistance in ohms printed on the
casing .

There are some, however, that are too small to have


numbers printed on them, so a system of color coding is
used.

LESSON 1 Color Coding and Standard Resisto

For the fixed molded composition resistor, four color bands are
printed on one end of the outer casing as shown in Fig (a). Each color
has the numerical value indicated in Table (B). The color bands are
always read left to right from end that has the band closest to it, as
shown in Fig (a).

LESSON 1 Color Coding and Standard Resisto

The first and Second bands represent the first and second digits,
respectively.
The third band is the number of zeroes that follow the second digit, or a
multiplying factor determined by the gold and silver bands.the fourth
band is the manufacturer’s tolerance, which is a measure of the
precision by which the resistor was made. If the fourth band is omitted,
the tolerance is assumed to be20 .%
