Ohm Bands

110 Ω resistor colour code

Four bands: Brown · Brown · Brown · Gold. The first two give the digits, the third multiplies, the fourth states how far off the real part may be.

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.

Values that can overlap this one

At ±5% the tolerance bands of neighbouring values run into each other. A part sold as one of these could measure the same as a 110 Ω — which is why measuring beats reading when it matters.

If you do not have one
