    COMPONENT COLOR BAND CHARTS v.

    1
    Use the following charts to calculate component values for color band
    resistors, capacitors and inductors. The charts are for 4, 5 and 6-band
    resistors; 4-band capacitors and inductors; and 3-band inductors.
    In addition, there is a chart for surface mount inductors that use colored
    dots for component value. The sample components above each chart are
    oriented properly as they are read left to right.
    These charts can be used for the exercises in DVD-164C, for the Review
    Questions and for the IPC Training Certification Exam.

    4-BAND RESISTORS
    100 5%

    BAND

    Resistance is measured in ohms. The symbol for ohms is . You may


    also see the value of a resistor expressed as K ohms or M ohms.
    K stands for Kilo-ohms or one thousand ohms, and M stands for Meg-ohms
    or one million ohms.
    Therefore: a 10,000 ohm resistor can be abbreviated as 10K for 10 Kiloohms. In the same manner, a 6,000,000 ohm resistor can be abbreviated as
    6M, for 6 Meg-ohms.
    Equivalents: 1,000,000 ohms = 1,000K-ohms = 1M-ohm.
    The decimal point moves three places to the left when using K, and six
    places to the left for M.

    5-BAND RESISTORS
    13.4K + 1%

    BAND

    Resistance is measured in ohms ().


    You may also see a 5-band resistor with white as the fifth band. Notice
    there is no white tolerance band on the 5-band color chart.
    This 5th white band is a military identifier meaning that the component
    has military solderable leads. A resistor with a white fifth band is read as
    a 4-band resistor. The fifth band is not used for calculating the tolerance
    and should be ignored.
    Equivalents: 1,000,000 ohms = 1,000K-ohms = 1M-ohm.

    6-BAND RESISTORS
    4M + 2% 15ppm/C

    BAND

    Resistance is measured in ohms ().


    The sixth band on this color chart is the TCR, or Temperature Coefficient of
    Resistance. TCR is a measurement of how much the resistance is modified
    by changes in temperature. TCR is measured in units of parts per million
    (PPM) per degrees Celsius.
    Equivalents: 1,000,000 ohms = 1,000K-ohms = 1M-ohm.

    4-BAND CAPACITORS
    200,000pF (200nF) + 5%

    BAND

    Capacitance is measured in farads. There are picofarads (pF),


    nanofarads (nF), and microfarads (F).
    Color coded capacitors always have 4 bands, and are measured in
    picofarads the smallest unit of measurement.
    Equivalents: 1,000,000pF (picofarads) = 1,000nF (nanofarads) = 1F
    (microfarad)

    4-BAND INDUCTORS
    700H + 2%

    BAND

    Inductance is measured in henries. There are nanohenries (nH),


    microhenries (H), and millihenries (mH).
    Axial (leaded) inductors with color bands are always measured in microhenries (H).
    Some inductors may have an additional silver band to the left of the first
    value band. This silver band indicates an inductor with military solderable
    leads. It should be read as a normal 4-band inductor, ignoring the first
    silver band.
    Equivalents: 1,000,000nH (nanohenries) = 1,000H (microhenries) = 1mH
    (millihenry)

    3-BAND INDUCTORS

    97H + 10%

    BAND

    Occasionally there will be a 3-band inductor. Notice that 3-band inductors


    do not have a multiplier band just two value bands and a third band for
    tolerance.
    Axial (leaded) inductors with color bands are always measured in
    microhenries (H).
    Equivalents: 1,000,000nH (nanohenries) = 1,000H (microhenries) = 1mH
    (millihenry).

    SMT INDUCTORS - COLOR DOTS

    52,000nH (52H) + 20%

    BAND

    SMT inductors with color dots are measured in nanohenries (nH) because
    the values are typically smaller than other inductors.
    With the middle dot oriented at the top, the colors are read left to right.
    Equivalents: 1,000,000nH (nanohenries) = 1,000H (microhenries) = 1mH
    (millihenry).
    When the tolerance is not specified, it is assumed to be + 20%.
