The resistor color code calculator decodes and identifies a value and tolerance of 6 band wire wound resistors. To calculate the resistance of a resistor you can select the appropriate color bands in the above resistor color code calculator. 6 Band Resistor Color Code Calculator And Chart Digikey Resistor Color Code 3 4 5 And 6 Band Explanation formulas and charts are added below each resistor color code calculator. 6 band resistors . Using the formula we get the resistance value of 475 10 0 475 w. The fourth band is black and gives the multiplier value of 10 0. The color bands of resistors are basically of three types. The number of bands is important because the decoding changes based upon the number of color bands. 4 band 5 band and 6 band resistors. A resistor is identified by its pattern of color of bands. Resistors come in...
