Term
Explain the coloring striping system from left to right Band A Band B Band C Band D |
|
Definition
The first band (A) indicates the first digit The second band (B) indicate the second digit. The third band (C) indicates the decimal multiplyer The fourth band (D) indicates the tolerance |
|

Term
Explain the fourth band on a resistor and the color coding system used for that band (including percentages)
|
|
Definition
The amount by which the actual resistance can differ is given by the fourth band, which indicates the tolerance, usually given in percent. Gold Indicates 5%, Silver Indicates 10%, If there is no color band for tolerance it is ±20% |
|
|
Term
| Explain the 5 band color code of resistors |
|
Definition
| Precision resistors often use a five-band color code rather than the four code. The purpose is to obtain more precise Resistance values. With the five band code the first three color stripes indicate the first three digits followed by the decimal multiplier in the fourth stripe and the tolerance in the fifth stripe. |
