Resistor Color Code Guide

Resistor Color Code Guide

Note: I took this chart off of the web. In my experience, the tolerance band is NOT

usually separated from the other bands as shown here. The most common tolerances for

resistors marked this way are 5% and 10% though, and the gold and silver bands cannot

be anything other than a tolerance, so no ambiguity results. If there is any ambiguity, you

are supposed to read starting with the bar closest to an end. Finally, when in doubt;

measure!
