For example a resistor with brown green and green bands is rated at 15 mega ohms 15 000 000 ohms.
Ceramic resistor markings.
Tolerance temperature package style and failure rate are integrated into some numbering schemes.
A wire wound resistor is a resistor where a wire with a high resistivity is wrapped around an insulating core to provide the resistance.
In this system the marking exists out of three digits.
The colors on the first 2 or 3 bands correspond to numbers from 0 to 9 which represent the significant digits of the resistor s ohmic value.
Position the resistor with this band on the right side and again read your resistor from left to right.
I do not guarantee correctness of any information provided.
The last band gives the multiplier.
Mil prf 55342 assigns part numbers using alpha numeric coding.
Resistors letters and digit codes.
In the resistor shown in the preceding figure the two digit number is 47 and the multiplier is 10 so the nominal value is an easy way to multiply a whole number by a power of 10 that is 10 0 10 1 10 2 10 3 and so on is to just append meaning tack on to the end the whole number with zeros and use the exponent which is the small.
Example of a wire wound resistor construction.
Therefore the eia 96 marking system has been created.
Search is the most efficient way to navigate the engineering toolbox.
It is based on the e96 series thus aimed at resistors with 1 tolerance.
Three methods of resistor markings are predominant color coding numerical value coding and three digit symbol coding.
2 numbers to indicate the resistor value and 1 letter for the multiplier.
A chip resistor marked with the standard 3 digit code and a short bar below the marking denotes a precision 1 or less resistor with a value taken from the e24 series these values are usually reserved for 5 resistors.
Engineering toolbox resources tools and basic information for engineering and design of technical applications.
An smd resistor with a marking of 0 00 000 or 0000 is a jumper a zero ohm link.
Letter and digit codes to indicating resistor values.
Basic resistor values range from 0 1 ohm to 10 megaohms.
Wire wound resistor construction varies widely.
