In a typical four-band resistor, the first and second bands represent significant figures. Other possible resistor variations will be described after.

In the explanation below, a four-band resistor (the one specifically shown below) will be used. In a typical four-band resistor, there is a spacing between the third and the fourth band to indicate how the resistor should be read (from left to right, with the lone band after the spacing being the right-most band). Which of these the color refers to is dependent on the position of the color band on the resistor.

RED TRANSISTOR CODE
The resistor color code shown in the table below involves various colors that represent significant figures, multiplier, tolerance, reliability, and temperature coefficient. The color coding for resistors is an international standard that is defined in IEC 60062. Only resistors are addressed by this calculator. Electronic color codes are also used to rate capacitors, inductors, diodes, and other electronic components, but are most typically used for resistors. Length:Īn electronic color code is a code that is used to specify the ratings of certain electrical components, such as the resistance in Ohms of a resistor. This calculator assumes the conductor is round. Use the following to calculate the resistance of a conductor. Provide all of the resistance values in series separated by a comma "," and click the "Calculate" button to determine total resistance. Provide all of the resistance values in parallel, separated by a comma "," and click the "Calculate" button to determine total resistance.
