6.65 MΩ resistor colour code
Five bands: Blue · Blue · 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
6.65 MΩ
6,650,000 ohms
Real range at ±1%
6.5835 MΩ – 6.7165 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 | Blue | 1st digit — 6 |
| 2 | Blue | 2nd digit — 6 |
| 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 | 0.496 µA | 1.64 µW | 1/8 W |
| 5 V | 0.752 µA | 3.76 µW | 1/8 W |
| 12 V | 1.8 µA | 21.7 µW | 1/8 W |
| 24 V | 3.61 µA | 86.6 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 9.6× the reel price. That gap is why a handful of resistors never costs what the headline price suggests.

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 6.65 MΩ — which is why measuring beats reading when it matters.
If you do not have one
Standard values that land within 1% of 6.65 MΩ when combined.
