Resistor Identification Demystified: The Ultimate Guide to Easily Identifying Color Ring Passwords

《》

Axially leaded color ring resistors, which can determine the resistance and tolerance of the resistor by the number and color of the color ring on the surface. And finding these kinds of resistors is basically a daily routine for our engineers, whether it's repairing an old PCBA or building a prototype for a new project. What do you typically do if you have one of these resistors on hand and need to buy a new one? DigiKey offers an online converter. It helps to quickly find these resistor color coded information.
