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, ...

The resistor color code is a long-standing standard in both the electronics and electrical industries which indicates the value of resistance of a resistor. Ohm’s Law is the foundation of measuring ...

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 ...

With surface-mount components quickly becoming the norm, even for homebrew hardware, the resistor color-code can sometimes feel a bit old-hat. However, anybody who has ever tried to identify a random ...

Thanks to reader Alan Metcalfe for bringing this to Gadget Master's attention. He describes it as "a simple Mr Spock circular (resistor) calculator, to cut-out and make". The Resistor Code Calculator ...
