RESISTANCE COLOR CODING Resistor COLOR Code Chart Understanding COLOR CODING is used in electronics to identify between different components. In the case of resistors, COLOR CODING is used to identify a specific RESISTANCE value, for example a 100 ohms Resistor or a 1 kilo ohms Resistor with 5% tolerance. Electronic components like resistors are very small in size and its difficult to print its value directly on to the component surface. Hence a standard was formed in 1920 by then Radio Manufacturers Association (now part of EIA Electronic Industries Alliance) to identify values and ratings of electronic components by printing COLOR codes on them. COLOR CODING technique makes it easy to print values (based on COLOR codes) on small components, such as resistors and facilitates cost effective manufacturing.
