AV-E04
Resistor Colour Code
Decode or encode 4, 5 and 6-band resistor colours, and find the nearest E6–E96 standard value.
● Runs on your device; nothing is uploadedHow to use it
- Choose 4 bands, 5 bands or 6 bands.
- Under Colours → value, pick each band colour to read value, tolerance and range.
- Under Value → colours, type a Resistance such as 4700, 4.7k or 4k7.
- Click Show on the resistor to copy those bands onto the drawing.
- Check the Nearest standard values table for E6 to E96.
Limits
- Significant digits when encoding
- 2 (4-band) or 3 (5- and 6-band)
- Multiplier
- ×0.01 to ×1 G
- Smallest encodable value
- 0.1 Ω (4-band), 1 Ω (5- and 6-band)
Features
- Colours follow IEC 60062
- Temperature coefficient from the sixth band in ppm/K
- Accepts RKM notation such as 4k7, 2M2 and 0R22
- Nearest E6, E12, E24, E48 and E96 values with the error in %
