Help on 6 band resistor?

[hopkinWFG]

Dear guru... i have an amp and it has this special 6 banded resistor i have searched thru and know that the last band is of temperature ratings...

But the bands on this blue resistors seems to be drifted as i desolder on leg and measured across is 199.7k
..

If am not wrong the first band is red second band brown third band orange and with the fourth and fifth band is rather hard to tell if its black or blue ?

Can someone share me some light here if the actual rated value be relative of what i measured being 199.7k ohm... ?

if you are measuring the resistor as 199.something k, close enuff to 200k. 200k = red, blk, blk, orng. then the tolerance, then the temp rating.

Hi duck... thanks and any idea the band is to read from other way round ? Correct me if wrong please as usually the first three significant bands be closer together than the percentage and temperature bands ?

Thats why is read as red black black orange rather than red brown orange?

Thanks alot for your help

Hi mate thanks for your nice resistor calculator.. but i just wanna know how would someone tell where to start from when reading the bands on the resistor... are the first three bands which are nearer to each other the first few band to start off with ?

According to the calculator that Rob posted....the band colors can only be entered one way.

The resistor comes out as:
200K Ω ± 1% 50 ppm/K

Red, Black, Black, Orange, Brown, Red

Thanks alot guys ! I roughly know the idea

> usually the first three significant bands be closer together

Yes.

hints: six bands means the tolerance should probably be 1%, so look for a brown band in fifth. black isn't a standard tolerance marker. 200k makes sense standard values wise (and is purtnear wot you measured).

[personally, I wouldn't place a whole lot of faith in the closer together technique.]
