Preguntas Frecuentes
How to use?
Enter the data and click the calculate button.
How do resistor color codes work?
The first two bands represent digits, the third is a multiplier, and the fourth indicates tolerance. Colors map to digits 0-9.
What does tolerance mean?
Tolerance indicates the acceptable range of the actual resistance from the stated value. A 100Ω ±5% resistor can be 95Ω to 105Ω.
Is it free?
