What is the Resistor Colour Code Calculator?
Resistors are marked with coloured bands instead of numbers. Tap the colour of each band (reading from the side opposite the gold/silver tolerance band) to get the resistance, tolerance and min–max range. Or type a value like 4.7k to see which colours to look for.
How to use the Resistor Colour Code Calculator
- Choose 4, 5 or 6 bands.
- Pick each band colour from left to right.
- Or enter a value to find its colour code.
