Frequently Asked Questions
How do 4-band resistor color codes work?
Band 1 represents the first significant digit, Band 2 represents the second significant digit, Band 3 is the decimal multiplier (powers of 10), and Band 4 is the precision tolerance percentage.
What does a Gold 4th band mean?
A gold tolerance band indicates a ±5% manufacturing precision tolerance margin.
