Ohm Bands

9.53 Ω resistor colour code

Five bands: White · Green · Orange · 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.

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.

The same value, marked differently

Surface mount

9R5· three-digit, nearest only

9R53· four-digit, precision parts

95A· EIA-96, for the smallest parts

Three digits carry two significant figures, so they cannot write 9.53 Ω — 9R5 means 9.5 Ω. A part at this value is marked 9R53.

9.1 Ω is the nearest four-band value — -4.5% off.

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 9.53 Ω — which is why measuring beats reading when it matters.

If you do not have one
