200 kΩ resistor colour code
Four bands: Red · Black · Yellow · Gold. The first two give the digits, the third multiplies, the fourth states how far off the real part may be.

Band by band
| Band | Colour | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Red | 1st digit — 2 |
| 2 | Black | 2nd digit — 0 |
| 3 | Yellow | Multiplier — ×10,000 |
| 4 | Gold | Tolerance — ±5% |
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.
| Across it | Current | Dissipated | Package to pick |
|---|---|---|---|
| 3.3 V | 16.5 µA | 54.4 µW | 1/8 W |
| 5 V | 25 µA | 125 µW | 1/8 W |
| 12 V | 60 µA | 720 µW | 1/8 W |
| 24 V | 120 µA | 2.88 mW | 1/8 W |

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 200 kΩ — which is why measuring beats reading when it matters.
