I once worked with an engineer that often checked his resistors with a multimeter before use. I just assumed that he was just being careful (certainly more careful than I…). Then one day, he asked me ...

Younger electronic engineers may see resistors with old-style color codes to display their values a little less than those from previous years, but if there’s a shibboleth among those who wield a ...

Resistors come in different shapes and sizes. They are crucial components of electrical circuits, such as amplifiers, power supplies, and signal processors. A resistor’s function is to regulate the ...

Some people look at a venerable resource like resistor color code charts and see something tried and true, but to [Andrew Jeddeloh], there’s room for improvement. A search for a more intuitive way is ...

The values or ratings of electronic components are indicated by the electronic color code that was developed in the early 1920s. It is not only seen in resistors, but also in capacitors, inductors, ...

A simple web tool for decoding resistor color codes and calculating the corresponding resistance values. This application allows users to easily determine the resistance value based on color bands and ...

A simple application to compute the resistance based on a resistor's sequence of color bands. This program supports resistors displaying 3, 4, 5, or 6 bands. Entering the sequence of colors on the ...
