How do you read a resistor code?

Always read resistors from left to right. – Resistors never start with a metallic band on the left. If you have a resistor with a gold or silver band on one end, you have a 5% or 10% tolerance resistor. Position the resistor with this band on the right side and again read your resistor from left to right.

What J means in resistor?

G = +- 2% J = +- 5% K = +- 10% M = +- 20%

What is M in resistor?

Every 1,000,000 Ohms is known as a Megohm (Mega = one million), abbreviated to the capital letter “M”. As a couple of examples; a 4,700 Ohm resistor would be written as either 4.7K or 4K7, and 5,600,000 Ohms would be written as 5.6M or 5M6.

What EIA 96?

The EIA-96 System Therefore the EIA-96 marking system has been created. It is based on the E96-series, thus aimed at resistors with 1% tolerance. In this system, the marking exists out of three digits: 2 numbers to indicate the resistor value and 1 letter for the multiplier.

What is a 4R7 resistor?

4R7 Resistor color code / 4.7 Ω (Ohms)

How to identify resistor?

1/8 Watt Resistor – 1.8 x 3 x 28: It handles 13.88 mA when connected to 9 V source

  • 1/4 Watt Resistor – 2.5 x 6.5 x 28: It handles 27.77 mA when connected to 9 V source
  • 1/2 Watt Resistor – 3.2 x 8.5 x 28: It handles 55.55 mA when connected to 9 V source
  • 1 Watt Resistor – 5 x 11 x 28: It handles 111.11 mA when connected to 9 V source

    • How to decode a resistor?

    Decide which band is the first band.

  • Look up the color of the first band in the column labeled “1st digit” and find the number associated with that color.
  • Look up the color of the second band in the column labeled “2nd digit” and find the number associated with that color.

    • What is resistor and how to read resistor color code?

    RED: 2

  • GREEN: 5
  • BLUE: 6
  • VIOLET: 7
  • GREY: 8
  • WHITE: 9. But this is not for all colors. From right to left the second color is multiplier.
  • RED: 100
  • GREEN: 100000
  • BLUE: 1000000
  • GOLD: 0.1

    • How do you calculate a resistor?

    B = 0.1%

  • C = 0.25%
  • D = 0.5%
  • F = 1%
  • G = 2%
  • J = 5%
  • K = 10%
  • M = 20%
