Product Information

In a five band resistor, the first four bands tell us the nominal value of the resistor, and the fifth band identifies the tolerance. Six band resistors also have a band that identifies the temperature coefficient (i.e. how sensitive the resistor is to temperature changes).

Six band resistors are exactly like five band resistors except they have an extra band to indicate the temperature coefficient, i.e. how much the resistance will change with temperature. The first three bands in a four band resistor tell us the resistor’s nominal value, and the 4th band gives us the tolerance of the resistor. The power rating of a resistor is one of the more hidden values. Nevertheless it can be important, and it's a topic that'll come up when selecting a resistor type. In a four-band resistor, which is the most common, the first two bands also represent the first two significant digits. The third band represents the multiplier. The fourth band represents the tolerance. The third, blue band, is the multiplier. Using the table, the multiplier is thus 1,000,000. This multiplier is multiplied by the significant figures determined from the previous bands, in this case 52, resulting in a value of 52,000,000 Ω, or 52 MΩ.All resistors have a tolerance, which means that the value is unlikely to be exactly 100k Ohms. Higher quality resistors have better tolerances. Coded components have at least three bands: two significant figure bands and a multiplier, but there are other possible variations. For example, components that are made to military specifications are typically four-band resistors that may have a fifth band that indicates the reliability of the resistor in terms of failure rate percentage per 1000 hours of service. It is also possible to have a 5 th band that is the temperature coefficient, which indicates the change in resistance of the component as a function of ambient temperature in terms of ppm/K. The same approach is used with capacitors: 2p2, 22p, 220p, 2n2, 22n, 220n, 2u2, 22u, 220u. In the old days larger values were still marked µF so the next decade was marked 2200u but with large capacitor values common now we're seeing 2m2, 22m, etc. I've never seen an equivalent of the 'R' as in 2C2 for a 2.2 F - yet! 2F2 may be more sensible. The current use of 'R' would then be excused (4R7 instead of 4Ω7) on the basis that Ω isn't readily available on most keyboards.

In this case, the last two bands (i.e. the fifth and sixth bands) should be closely spaced, with a gap between the fourth and fifth bands. To calculate a 100K resistor, you would need to use a value of 100,000 ohms for the resistor value in the formula. For example, if you want to calculate the value of a 100K resistor that will allow a current of 1 ampere to flow through it when a voltage of 100 volts is applied across it, you would use the following formula:The electrical resistance of a resistor is measured in ohms. The symbol for an ohm is the greek capital-omega: Ω. The (somewhat roundabout) definition of 1Ω is the resistance between two points where 1 volt (1V) of applied potential energy will push 1 ampere (1A) of current. In a typical four-band resistor, the first and second bands represent significant figures. For this example, refer to the figure above with a green, red, blue, and gold band. Using the table provided below, the green band represents the number 5, and the red band is 2.

So it was decided that "R" would represent a "x1" multiplier. So now you can write "39R" instead of "39Ω". To calculate the resistance value, you need to group the values of the significant digits bands — i.e., the values of the first two or three bands from the left, depending on the total number of bands. Then you need to multiply that value by the multiplier to get the resistance value of the resistor. They are passive components, meaning they only consume power (and can't generate it). Resistors are usually added to circuits where they complement active components like op-amps, microcontrollers, and other integrated circuits. Commonly resistors are used to limit current, divide voltages, and pull-up I/O lines. Resistor units

Band Three – Multiplier: Takes the digits and multiplies them by a value given by this band. The actual multiplier is 10 n, where n is a value that corresponds to the color of the band. In this case, the third band is yellow which corresponds to the number 5. Therefore the multiplier is 10 5 = 10,0000. It is very easy to read 5 or 6 band resistors if you already know how to use four band resistor color coding. 5 Band 100K Resistor Color Code This calculator will help you identify the value, tolerance and temperature coefficient of a color coded resistor by simply selecting the bands colors. It will also calculate the minimum and maximum values based on the tolerance ratio. This calculator supports resistors with 3, 4, 5, and 6 bands. How to use? Resistors are electronic components which have a specific, never-changing electrical resistance. The resistor's resistance limits the flow of electrons through a circuit. But, dropping the "Ω" leaves the problem of how to represent a resistor value when the multiplier is 1.

They are read exactly the same way as five band resistors, except that the (additional) last band tells us the temperature coefficient. Color We then multiply that number by the multiplier indicated with the 3 rd band (yellow) which has the value of; x10 4 = 10000. I was just wondering if a 100K resistor as a pulldown resistor might conflict with internal eletronics, resulting in not pulling the port low all the way.

It was a hell of a job to find the right values to reach a wide range of values, fairly equaly spread. In a five-band resistor, the first three bands represent the first three significant digits. The fourth band represents the multiplier. The fifth band represents the tolerance. Tolerance is the percentage of error between the actual measured resistive value and the stated value. This is due to the manufacturing process and it is expressed as a percentage of its preferred value Calculating The final band indicates the tolerance of the resistor. The tolerance explains how much more or less the actual resistance of the resistor can be compared to what its nominal value is. No resistor is made to perfection, and different manufacturing processes will result in better or worse tolerances. For example, a 1kΩ resistor with 5% tolerance could actually be anywhere between 0.95kΩ and 1.05kΩ. The fourth band is not always present, but when it is, represents tolerance. This is a percentage by which the resistor value can vary. The gold band in this example indicates a tolerance of ±5%, which can be represented by the letter J. This means that the value 52 MΩ can vary by up to 5% in either direction, so the value of the resistor is 49.4 MΩ - 54.6 MΩ.
