Example for a Carbon 22000 Ohms or 22 KiloOhms
also known as 22K at 5% tolerance:
Band 1 = Red, 1st digit
Band 2 = Red, 2nd digit
Band 3 = Orange, 3rd digit, multiply with zeros,
in this case 3 zero's
Band 4 = Gold, Tolerance, 5%
Example for a Precision Metal Film 19200 Ohms or
19.2 KiloOhms also known as 19K2 at 1% tolerance:
Band 1 = Brown, 1st digit
Band 2 = White, 2nd digit
Band 3 = Red, 3rd digit
Band 4 = Red, 4th digit, multiply with zeros, in
this case 2 zero's
Band 5 = Brown, Tolerance, 1%
Band 6 = Blue, Temperature Coefficient,
6
If you are a bit serious about the electronics
hobby I recommend learning the "Color-Code". It makes life a lot easier.
The same color code is used for everything else, like coils, capacitors,
rf-chokes, etc. Again, just the color code associated with a number, like:
black=0 brown=1 red=2, etc, etc.
