WEET The Main Parameters and Classification of Color Ring Resistors

The main parameters of color ring resistor

1. Nominal resistance value: The nominal resistance value on the color ring resistance is called the nominal value.
 Units: Ω, kΩ, MΩ. The nominal value is marked according to the standard series formulated by the country, and is not arbitrarily calibrated by the producer.
 Not all color ring resistors with different resistance values exist.

2. Permissible Tolerance: The actual resistance value of the color ring resistor within a large allowable deviation range from the nominal value is called the allowable Tolerance.
 Tolerance codes: F, G, J, K...Common tolerance ranges are: ±0.01%, ±0.05%, ±0.1%, ±0.5%, ±0.25%, ±1%, ±2%, ±5%, ±10%,etc.

3. Rated power: refers to the allowable power consumption on the color ring resistor under the specified ambient temperature,
 assuming that the surrounding air is not circulating, and working continuously for a long time without damaging or basically changing the performance of the color ring resistor.
 Common types include 1/16W, 1/8W, 1/4W, 1/2W, 1W, 2W, 5W, and 10W

Classification of Color Ring Resistors

Color ring resistors are commonly used electronic components in electronic circuits. Using color rings to represent color and tolerance can ensure that the color ring can be easily and clearly seen
 regardless of the direction in which the resistor is installed. The basic units of color ring resistance are: ohms (Ω), kiloohms (K Ω), and megaohms (M Ω). 1000 ohms (Ω)=1 kiloohms (K Ω), 1000 kiloohms (K Ω)=1 megaohms (M Ω).

The color ring resistor is used to represent the resistance value and error of the resistor. The ordinary one is a four color ring, while the high-precision one is represented by a five color ring
