Hi everyone,
Now I am going to write an article about how to find Resistor value from the given resistors color coding..
How to Use the Resistor Color Code Calculator
Are you having trouble reading resistor color codes? If your answer is yes, this tool is specifically designed for you! Our Resistor Color Code Calculator is a handy tool for reading carbon-composition resistors, whether it's a 4 band, 5 band, or 6 band type.
BAND? DIGITS
4 1st,2nd,Multiplier& Tolerance
5 1st,2nd,3rd, Multiplier& Tolerance
6 1st,2nd,3rd, Multiplier& Tolerance,Tempco
To use this tool, simply click on a particular color and number and watch how the actual bands on the resistor illustration change. The resistance value is displayed on the field below, together with the tolerance and the temperature coefficient.?
Resistor Color Bands
As shown above, a carbon-composition resistor can have 4 to 6 bands. A 5-band resistor is more precise than a 4-band type because of the inclusion of a third significant digit. A 6-band resistor is like a 5-band resistor but includes a temperature coefficient band (the 6th band). Below (Table 1), you can see an overview of the different band types.

Resistor Color Code Exceptions
5 Band Resistor With the 4th Band of Gold or Silver
All 5 band resistors with the 4th band of silver or gold form an exception and are utilized on specific or older resistors.
1.????? The first two bands represent the significant digits,
2.????? 3rd band is a multiplication factor
3.????? 4th band is for tolerance,
4.????? 5th band is for the temperature coefficient (ppm/K).
Deviating Resistor Band Colors
To prevent metal and other particles from getting in the coating of high-voltage resistors, the gold and silver bands are often replaced with yellow and gray bands.
Single Black Resistor Band or Zero Ohm Resistor
·???????? A single black band on a resistor is called a zero-ohm resistor.?
·???????? it is a wire link used to connect traces on a printed circuit board (PCB) that is packaged in the same physical package format as a resistor.
·???????? This packaging allows the zero-ohm resistor to be placed on the circuit board using the equipment typically used to place other resistors.
Resistance Reliability Band
·???????? When resistors are produced per military specifications, will include a band that indicates reliability.
·???????? It is specifically for failure rate percentage per 1000 hours of service.
·???????? It is rarely used in commercial electronics.
·???????? In addition, 4 band resistors typically use this reliability band.
