33k resistor color code
The rules are similar to the previous system the only difference is the number of digit bands.
33k resistor color code code#
The 5 band code is used for marking high quality, precision resistors with 2%, 1% or lower tolerances. 20% resistors have only 3 color bands - the tolerance band is missing. A color is assigned to each tolerance: gold is 5%, silver is 10%. The tolerance band (the deviation from the specified value) is next, usually spaced away from the others, or it's a little bit wider. Note: If the multiplier band is gold or silver, the decimal point is moved to the left by one or two places (divided by 10 or 100). The third band indicates the multiplier telling you the power of ten to which the two significant digits must be multiplied (or how many zeros to add), using the same assigned value for each color as in the previous step. Black is 0, brown is 1, red is 2 and so on (see the color code table below). Colors are assigned to all the numbers between 0 and 9, and the color bands basically translate the numbers into a visible code.
The first two bands represent the most significant digits of the resistors value. Standard 5%, 10% or 20% tolerance resistors use a 4 color bands scheme while 1% and 2% use a 5 color bands scheme. Resistor values are marked on the resistors by the means of color bands.
