Ohm Bands

1.05 Ω resistor colour code

Five bands: Brown · Black · Green · Silver · Brown. The first three give the digits — a precision value needs all three — then the multiplier, then how far off the real part may be.

A brown band allows this much drift.

How much it can take

Current and dissipation across the resistor, and the package you need. The suggested rating keeps a factor of two in hand, which is what anyone building a board actually does.

The same value, marked differently

Surface mount

1R0· three-digit, nearest only

1R05· four-digit, precision parts

03A· EIA-96, for the smallest parts

Three digits carry two significant figures, so they cannot write 1.05 Ω — 1R0 means 1 Ω. A part at this value is marked 1R05.

1 Ω is the nearest four-band value — -4.8% off.

Values that can overlap this one

At ±1% the tolerance bands of neighbouring values run into each other. A part sold as one of these could measure the same as a 1.05 Ω — which is why measuring beats reading when it matters.

If you do not have one

Standard values that land within 1% of 1.05 Ω when combined.
