drops across the lead resistances because no charge flows through voltage sensing leads it is important in small value resistors 100 0 0001 ohm where lead resistance is significant or even comparable with respect to resistance standard value 30 resistor marking main article electronic color code wheel based rma resistor color code guide circa 1945 1950 axial resistor cases are usually tan brown blue or green though other colors are occasionally found as well such as dark red or dark gray and display three to six colored stripes that indicate resistance and by extension tolerance and may include bands to indicate the temperature coefficient and reliability class in four striped resistors the first two stripes represent the first two digits of the resistance in ohms the third represents a multiplier and the fourth the tolerance which if absent denotes 20 for five and six striped resistors the third band is the third digit the fourth is the multiplier and the fifth is the tolerance a sixth stripe represents the temperature coefficient the power rating of the resistor is usually not marked and is deduced from its size surface mount resistors are marked numerically early 20th century resistors essentially uninsulated were dipped in paint to cover their entire body for color coding this base color represented the first digit a second color of paint was applied to one end of the element to represent a second digit and a color dot or band in the middle provided the third digit the rule was body tip dot providing two significant digits for value and the decimal multiplier in that sequence default tolerance was 20 closer tolerance resistors had silver 10 or gold colored 5 paint on the other end preferred values see also e series of preferred numbers early resistors were made in more or less arbitrary round numbers a series might have 100 125 150 200 300 etc 31 early power wirewound resistors such as brown vitreous enameled types were made with a system of preferred values like some of those mentioned here resistors as manufactured are subject to a certain percentage tolerance and it makes sense to manufacture values that correlate with the tolerance so that the actual value of a resistor overlaps slightly with its neighbors wider spacing leaves gaps narrower spacing increases manufacturing and inventory costs to provide resistors that are more or less interchangeable a logical scheme is to produce resistors in a range of values which increase in a geometric progression so that each value is greater than its predecessor by a fixed multiplier or percentage chosen to match the tolerance of the range for example for a tolerance of 20 it makes sense to have each resistor about 1 5 times its predecessor covering a decade in 6 values more precisely the factor used is 1 4678 10 1 6 displaystyle 10 1 6 giving values of 1 47 2 15 3 16 4 64 6 81 10 for the 1 10 decade a decade is a range increasing by a factor of 10 0 1 1 and 10 100 are other examples these are rounded in practice to 1 5 2 2 3 3 4 7 6 8 10 followed by 15 22 33 and preceded by 0 47 0 68 1 this scheme has been adopted as the e6 series of the iec 60063 preferred number values there are also e12 e24 e48 e96 and e192 series for components of progressively finer resolution with 12 24 48 96 and 192 different values within each decade the actual values used are in the iec 60063 lists of preferred numbers a resistor of 100 ohms 20 would be expected to have a value between 80 and 120 ohms its e6 neighbors are 68 54 82 and 150 120 180 ohms a sensible spacing e6 is used for 20 components e12 for 10 e24 for 5 e48 for 2 e96 for 1 e192 for 0 5 or better resistors are manufactured in values from a few milliohms to about a gigaohm in iec60063 ranges appropriate for their tolerance manufacturers may sort resistors into tolerance classes based on measurement accordingly a selection of 100 ohms resistors with a tolerance of 10 might not lie just around 100 ohm but no more than 10 off as one would expect a bell curve but rather be in two groups either between 5 and 10 too high or 5 to 10 too low but not closer to 100 ohm than that because any resistors the factory had measured as being less than 5 off would have been marked and sold as resistors with only 5 tolerance or better when designing a circuit this may become a consideration this process of sorting parts based on post production measurement is known as binning and can be applied to other components than resistors such as speed grades for cpus smt resistors this image shows four surface mount resistors the component at the upper left is a capacitor including two zero ohm resistors zero ohm links are often used instead of wire links so that they can be inserted by a resistor inserting machine their resistance is negligible surface mounted resistors of larger sizes metric 1608 and above are printed with numerical values in a code related to that used on axial resistors standard tolerance surface mount technology smt resistors are marked with a three digit code in which the first two digits are the first two significant digits of the value and the third digit is the power of ten the number of zeroes for example 334 33 10 4 ω 330 kω 222 22 10 2 ω 2 2 kω 473 47 10 3 ω 47 kω 105 10 10 5 ω 1 mω resistances less than 100 ω are written 100 220 470 the final zero represents ten to the power zero which is 1 for example 100 10 10 0 ω 10 ω 220 22 10 0 ω 22 ω sometimes these values are marked as 10 or 22 to prevent a mistake resistances less than 10 ω have r to indicate the position of the decimal point radix point for example 4r7 4 7 ω r300 0 30 ω 0r22 0 22 ω 0r01 0 01 ω 000 and 0000 sometimes appear as values on surface mount zero ohm links since these have approximately zero resistance more recent surface mount resistors are too small physically to permit practical markings to be applied precision resistor markings many precision resistors including surface mount and axial lead types are marked with a four digit code the first three digits are the significant figures and the fourth is the power of ten for example 1001 100 10 1 ω 1 00 kω 4992 499 10 2 ω 49 9 kω 1000 100 10 0 ω 100 ω axial lead precision resistors often use color code bands to represent this four digit code eia 96 marking the former eia 96 marking system now included in iec 60062 2016 is a more compact marking system intended for physically small high precision resistors it uses a two digit code plus a letter a total of three alphanumeric characters to indicate 1 resistance values to three significant digits 32 the two digits from 01 to 96 are a code that indicates one of the 96 positions in the standard e96 series of 1 resistor values the uppercase letter is a code that indicates a power of ten multiplier for example the marking 01c represents 10 kohm 10c represents 12 4 kohm 96c represents 97 6 kohm 33 34 35 36 37 code series letter digits e96 y s x r a

between 31 2 10 3 and 46 8 10 3 ohms common usage patterns there are several common usage patterns that resistors are commonly configured in 39 current limiting resistors are commonly used to limit the amount of current flowing through a circuit many circuit components such as leds require the current flowing through them to be limited but do not themselves limit the amount of current therefore oftentimes resistors will be added to prevent overcurrent situations additionally oftentimes circuits do not need the amount of current that would be otherwise flowing through them so resistors can be added to limit the power consumption of such circuits voltage divider main article voltage divider oftentimes circuits need to provide various reference voltages for other circuits such as voltage comparators a fixed voltage can be obtained by taking two resistors in series between two other fixed voltages such as the source voltage and ground the terminal between the two resistors will be at a voltage that is between the two voltages at a linear distance based on the relative resistances of the two resistors for instance if a 200 ohm resistor and a 400 ohm resistor are placed in series between 6 v and 0 v the terminal between them will be at 4 v pull down and pull up resistors main article pull up resistor when a circuit is not connected to power the voltage of that circuit is not zero but undefined it can be influenced by previous voltages or the environment a pull up or pull down resistor provides a voltage for a circuit when it is otherwise disconnected such as when a button is not pushed down or a transistor is not active a pull up resistor connects the circuit to a high positive voltage if the circuit requires a high positive default voltage and a pull down resistor connects the circuit to a low voltage or ground if the circuit requires a low default voltage the resistor value must be high enough so that when the circuit is active the voltage source it is attached to does not over influence the function of the circuit but low enough so that it pulls quickly enough when the circuit is deactivated and does not significantly alter the voltage from the source value electrical and thermal noise main article noise electronics in amplifying faint signals it is often necessary to minimize electronic noise particularly in the first stage of amplification as a dissipative element even an ideal resistor naturally produces a randomly fluctuating voltage or noise across its terminals this johnson nyquist noise is a fundamental noise source which depends only upon the temperature and resistance of the resistor and is predicted by the fluctuation dissipation theorem using a larger value of resistance produces a larger voltage noise whereas a smaller value of resistance generates more current noise at a given temperature the thermal noise of a practical resistor may also be larger than the theoretical prediction and that increase is typically frequency dependent excess noise of a practical resistor is observed only when current flows through it this is specified in ...
