806 Ω resistor colour code
Five bands: Grey · Black · Blue · Black · 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.

A brown band allows this much drift.
Series
E96
A 1% precision value. Five bands, not four.
Band by band
| Band | Colour | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Grey | 1st digit — 8 |
| 2 | Black | 2nd digit — 0 |
| 3 | Blue | 3rd digit — 6 |
| 4 | Black | Multiplier — ×1 |
| 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 | 4.09 mA | 13.5 mW | 1/8 W |
| 5 V | 6.2 mA | 31 mW | 1/8 W |
| 12 V | 14.9 mA | 179 mW | 1/2 W |
| 24 V | 29.8 mA | 715 mW | 2 W |

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 806 Ω — which is why measuring beats reading when it matters.
If you do not have one
Standard values that land within 1% of 806 Ω when combined.
