Higherwattage resistors can operate at higher temperatures. Standard series values in a decade for resistances and capacitances e3 to e192. Resistors of a series fall into one of nominal resisrance ranges shown in the table above. The tolerance of a resistor may also be represented by a gold or silver band. As the chart at the right shows created in excel, plotting the values on a logarithmic scale results in a straight line. Following this logic, the preferred values for 10% tolerance resistors between 100 and 1,000 ohms would be 100, 120, 150, 180, 220, 270, 330 and so on rounded appropriately.

Resistors are manufactured in series of standard resistance values according to the iec standard. To manufacture resistors of every possible value would be impractical. The elma and chinese blue are 24 way switches, whereas the seiden are 23 way switches hificollective hificollective 10k shunt network 23step 25k shunt network 23step. Resistors are in stock with sameday shipping at mouser electronics from industry leading manufacturers. The gold or silver band is always placed to the right. This tool is used to decode information for color banded axial lead resistors. The bigger the value of a resistor the more it opposes the current flow.
There are several conventions for recording resistor values. These are referred to as preferred values or eseries, and they are published in standard iec 60063. These tiny chips are marked with three 3 or four 4 digit codes which is called smd resistor codes to indicate their resistance values. The tolerance band on a resistor indicates the spread of possible values of any particular resistor, for example a resistor marked as 47k. Resistors are available with ratings from a fraction of an ohm to millions of ohms, but they come in standard values only. The basic colour code and colour values have remained consistent.
Power rating depends on the resistors construction. That is, resistors are not available for every possible ohmic roundnumber value. That means, that the resistor has between 225,400 and 234,600 ohms. Eia standard resistor values stackpole electronics, inc. Most resistors are too small to show their resistance as a printed number. It is called the e12 series because there are 12 values, spaced exponentially across a change in value of a power of ten. Common resistor and capacitor values for electronic circuits.
