4.75 MΩ resistor colour code
Five bands: Yellow · Violet · Green · Yellow · 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.
Nominal
4.75 MΩ
4,750,000 ohms
Real range at ±1%
4.7025 MΩ – 4.7975 MΩ
A brown band allows this much drift.
Series
E96
A 1% precision value. Five bands, not four.
Band by band
| Band | Colour | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Yellow | 1st digit — 4 |
| 2 | Violet | 2nd digit — 7 |
| 3 | Green | 3rd digit — 5 |
| 4 | Yellow | Multiplier — ×10k |
| 5 | Brown | Tolerance — ±1% |
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 | 0.695 µA | 2.29 µW | 1/8 W |
| 5 V | 1.05 µA | 5.26 µW | 1/8 W |
| 12 V | 2.53 µA | 30.3 µW | 1/8 W |
| 24 V | 5.05 µA | 121 µW | 1/8 W |

What ten of them actually cost
The price everyone quotes is the reel price. If you want ten, you cannot buy the reel — and the real figure is usually several times higher per piece.

Per piece, ten costs 10.2× the reel price. That gap is why a handful of resistors never costs what the headline price suggests.

The same value, marked differently
Surface mount
485· three-digit, nearest only
4754· four-digit, precision parts
Three digits carry two significant figures, so they cannot write 4.75 MΩ — 485 means 4.8 MΩ. A part at this value is marked 4754.
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 4.75 MΩ — which is why measuring beats reading when it matters.
If you do not have one
Standard values that land within 1% of 4.75 MΩ when combined.
