About

Pick the colors on a 4-band, 5-band, or 6-band resistor and see its resistance, tolerance, and temperature coefficient. Or type a target value and see which color bands you need.

How to use

  1. Pick band count (4, 5, or 6).
  2. Click each color in order.
  3. Read the resistance value.

FAQ

What's the difference between 4 and 5 band?+

4-band: two significant digits, multiplier, tolerance. 5-band: three significant digits (more precise). 6-band adds a temperature coefficient.
