A resistor is an electrical component that implements resistance as a circuit element. So, identifying the value of resistance from the color codes of resistors is very important. Calculating the ...

Check out the resistor color code reference cards I just whipped up. I was inspired by the PCB versions that Octopart has been crowdfunding this week. Those didn’t have the information I would ...

Some people look at a venerable resource like resistor color code charts and see something tried and true, but to [Andrew Jeddeloh], there’s room for improvement. A search for a more intuitive way is ...

A resistor has 4 or 5 color codes generally, of which the last color code indicates the tolerance and the rest gives the actual value of the resistor. This code does not look into the tolerance. The ...
