1/ The first significant figure of the resistance value. (Bands A through D shall be of equal width).
2/ The second significant figure of the resistance value.
3/ The multiplier. (The multiplier is the factor by which the two significant figures are multiplied to yield the nominal
resistance value).
4/ The resistance tolerance.
5/ On film resistors, this band shall be approximately 1-1/2 times the width of other bands, and indicates a
solderable terminal.
Examples of color coding for film-type resistors:
5100 ohms +5 percent, solderable leads:
Band A, green; Band B, Brown; Band C, red; Band D, gold;
Band E, white (1-1/2 width of other bands).
5600 ohms +2 percent, solderable leads:
Band A, green; Band B, blue; Band C, red; Band D, red;
Band E, white (1-1/2 width of other bands).
