6.34 Ω resistor colour code
Five bands: Blue · Orange · Yellow · 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.

Real range at ±1%
6.2766 Ω – 6.4034 Ω
A brown band allows this much drift.
Series
E96
A 1% precision value. Five bands, not four.
Band by band
| Band | Colour | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Blue | 1st digit — 6 |
| 2 | Orange | 2nd digit — 3 |
| 3 | Yellow | 3rd digit — 4 |
| 4 | Silver | Multiplier — ×0.01 |
| 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 | 521 mA | 1.72 W | 5 W |
| 5 V | 789 mA | 3.94 W | no standard part — needs a power resistor or a heatsink |
| 12 V | 1.89 A | 22.7 W | no standard part — needs a power resistor or a heatsink |
| 24 V | 3.79 A | 90.9 W | no standard part — needs a power resistor or a heatsink |

The same value, marked differently
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 6.34 Ω — which is why measuring beats reading when it matters.
If you do not have one
Standard values that land within 1% of 6.34 Ω when combined.
