Calculate the resistance of a 5-band resistor using this resistor color code calculator

The resistor color code calculator makes it easy to identify and select resistance and tolerance values for 4, 5, and 6 band through hole resistors.

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. To use this tool, simply click on a particular color and number and watch how the actual bands on the resistor illustration change.

The 5-band resistor color code calculator makes it easy to identify the value, and tolerance of a 5-band resistor by simply selecting the bands colors.

2016年7月4日 · Use our simple resistor color code calculator tool below to easily find the value of any resistor. The color bands on your resistor tells you what value the resistor has. Click on a color band below to change its color and the value and …

The Resistor Color Code Calculator identifies the value and tolerance of a color coded resistor given its bands colors. Supports resistors with 3, 4, 5 and 6 bands.

Select the first 3 or 4 bands for 20%, 10% or 5% resistors and all 5 bands for precision (2% or less), 5-band resistors. Hover above the tolerance for min. and max. range values. If you want to find out the color bands for a value, use the tool on the left.

To use this online 5-band resistor calculator tool, simply click on a particular colour and number corresponding to your resistor and watch how the individual coloured bands on the resistor illustration above change.

Resistance values can be calculated from a 5-band resistor color code as follows: For example, a resistor with a color band pattern of brown, red, orange, red, gold yields the first digit as 1, the second digit as 2, the third digit as 3, and a multiplier of 10,000. This produces a resistance value of 123 * 100 = 12.3 kΩ with a ± 5% tolerance.

Our free resistor color code calculator makes it even simpler. This versatile tool not only allows users to determine the value of a resistor based on the color code but also find the color codes for a 4 and 5 band resistor. Begin by selecting your resistor type; either a 4 or 5 band resistor.
