    Resistor value - color coding

    Hello electronics expert,

    can you please tell me what is supposed value of this resistor?

    I'm really having a hard time figuring this out, because black lines on first place means 0 and gold lines are multipliers 0.1.

    It seems like colored rings are: black gold gold black orange.

    Based on the chart below, I'm guessing .3 ohm, 250 ppm tempco.

      In this case I believe the last black band indicates non-inductive

        Thank you for the reply, but how did you figure this out?

        To me, according to the same table
        First band is black = 0
        Second is gold = N/A
        Third is gold = N/A
        Fourth is black, multiplier 1 (10^0)

        ???


        According to the second table from R_J:

        first band black = 0
        second band gold = N/A
        third band gold = 0.1 multiplier
        fourth black = tolerance

          The first band on your resistor is ORANGE

            Hello R_J

            Thank you for the reply. Orange as first is the only way to have 3 in its value, when I look that way, Orange Black Gold Gold Black (3 0 N/A 0.1 250 ppm/K)

            So, this seems as 3 ohm and not 0.3 (30 x 0.1).
            Unfortunately, this color scheme is not obvious to me.

              Perhaps key observation: if you have a metallic band and it seems to be first or second band... need to flip the resistor around and try again!
