Thread: Confusing resistor value

  1. #1

    Default Confusing resistor value

    Apologies for the bother, but I'm having major difficulties identifying this resistor. I believe it is a 1.2ohm 3watt resistor, but I can't confirm this through any resistor chart websites I've come across so far.

    Can anyone help to confirm this? Thanking you in advance.

    I believe you are correct.
    I think I’ve ordered the same resistor from the shop. The blue band is confusing.
    Entering Brown Red Gold Gold here, gives you 1.2ohm 5% tolerance.

    I believe this is a brown-red-gold for 1.2ohm, 5% tolerance (gold), 10ppm/K temp coefficient following the six band format, but neglecting to include the leading zero. (black-brown-red-gold for 012*0.1)

    Yea, the resistor is flipped, which may be why you cant find the value.

    This is excellent! Those examples make the whole band format and value calculation “click” for me!

    Thanks!

    Thankyou bigkevin61 and jbkuma, this is a relief

    PCModulus, yeah I noticed I had it flipped in the photo after I posted it, whoops.
