Potentiometer (5 KOHM)
Each color represents a number if it’s located from the 1st to 2nd band for a 4-band type or 1st to 3rd band for a 5-band and 6-band type.
| Color | Value |
|---|---|
|
Black (2nd and 3rd bands only) |
0 |
| Brown | 1 |
| Red | 2 |
| Orange | 3 |
| Yellow | 4 |
| Green | 5 |
| Blue | 6 |
| Violet | 7 |
| Grey | 8 |
| White | 9 |
Mnemonics were created to easily memorize the sequence of the colors. The most popular mnemonic is “Big?Boys?Race?Our?Young?Girls?But?Violet?Generally?Wins” where the first letter of each word corresponds to the first letter of the color.
If the color is found on the 3rd band for a 4-band type or the 4th band for a 5-band and 6-band type, then it’s a multiplier.
| Color | Value |
|---|---|
|
Black |
x1 |
| Brown | x10 |
| Red | x100 |
| Orange | x1000 |
| Yellow | x10000 |
| Green | x100000 |
| Blue | x1000000 |
| Violet | x10000000 |
| Grey | x100000000 |
| White | x1000000000 |
Notice?that the number of zeroes is equal to the color’s number as per the previous table.
The fourth band (or 5th for the 5-band and 6-band) indicates the tolerance values. Here, two colors are added (gold and silver).
