Electronic devices: such as transistors, diodes, field-effect transistors, integrated circuits, etc., which can generate electrons themselves and have control and conversion effects on voltage and current, known as "active devices"
Common electronic components: resistors, capacitors, diodes, field-effect transistors, transistors, power chips, crystal oscillators, CPUs, communication chips, converters, driver chips, light-emitting diodes, optocouplers, transformers, relays, motors, filters, tactile switches, etc.
Zhongchi will explain commonly used electronic components in stages for everyone. In this issue, let's learn about resistors together.
resistance
Resistance, commonly abbreviated as R, is a fundamental property of a conductor that is related to its size, material, and temperature. It is the most commonly used component in electronic circuits. The main physical characteristic of resistance is to convert electrical energy into thermal energy, which can also be said to be an energy consuming component. When current passes through it, internal energy is generated. Resistors usually play a role in dividing and diverting voltage in circuits. For signals, both AC and DC signals can pass through resistors.
The domestic resistor model consists of four parts
1. Main name, using letters to represent the product name. For example, W represents potentiometer, R represents resistance
2. Material, using letters to indicate what material the resistor is made of. For example: X-ray winding, T-carbon film, S-organic solid, J-metal film, Y-oxide film, C-deposited film, H-synthetic carbon film, I-glass glaze film.
3. Classification, generally represented by numbers, individual types are represented by letters, and the corresponding types are represented by numbers/letters. For example: 1/2- ordinary, 3- ultra-high frequency, 4- high resistance, 5- high frequency, 6/7- precision, 8- high voltage, 9- special, G - high power, T - adjustable.
4. Serial number, using numbers to represent different varieties of similar products, used to distinguish the product's external dimensions and performance indicators.

Color ring resistors can be divided into "four ring resistors" and "five ring resistors" that have one more ring than the four ring resistors, usually using four ring resistors.
The basic units of color ring resistance are ohms (Ω), kiloohms (K Ω), and megaohms (M Ω)
Four loop resistor: The first two loops are numbers, the third loop represents the multiplication of the resistance value, and the last loop represents the error.
Five ring resistor: The first three rings are numbers, the fourth ring represents the multiplication of the resistance value, and the last ring represents the error.
Note: Errors are usually represented by gold (representing resistance error ± 5%), silver (representing resistance error ± 10%), brown (representing resistance error ± 1%), colorless (representing resistance error ± 20%), and occasionally green (representing resistance error ± 0.5%)
Resistance color ring meter
Color ring chart memory rhyme:
色环电阻对应色环表示例图
Color ring resistor identification reading method:
Four color ring resistor: a resistor represented by a four-color ring, counting from left to right, with the first color ring indicating the highest resistance value; The second color ring represents the second digit of the resistance value; The third color ring represents the multiplication of the resistance value; The fourth color ring represents the allowable deviation of the resistance value.
Example: A four loop resistor has a green first loop (representing 5), a purple second loop (representing 7), a yellow third loop (representing 10K times), and a gold fourth loop (representing ± 10% error); If 57 * 10000=570K Ω, then the resistance value of the four ring resistor is 570K Ω, and the error range of the resistance value is ± 10%
Five color ring resistor: a resistor represented by a five color ring, counting from left to right, with the first color ring indicating the highest resistance value; The second color ring represents the second digit of the resistance value; The third color ring represents the third digit of the resistance value; The fourth color ring represents the multiplication of the resistance value; The fifth color ring represents the allowable deviation of the resistance value.
Example: A five colored ring resistor, with the first ring being red (representing 2), the second ring being green (representing 5), the third ring being orange (representing 3), the fourth ring being silver (representing 0.01 times), and the fifth ring being brown (representing resistance error ± 1%); That is, 253 * 0.01=2.53 Ω, indicating that the resistance value of the five ring resistor is 2.53 Ω, with an error range of ± 1%
Small tips for identifying order:
(1) First, find the color ring that indicates the resistance error. Commonly used colors to represent resistance error are gold, silver, and brown; Among them, gold and silver are rarely used as the first ring of the resistance color ring. Therefore, if there is a gold/silver ring in the resistor, it can be basically considered as the last ring of the color ring resistor.
(2) Is the brown ring an error marker for discrimination. The brown ring is often used as both an error ring and a significant digit ring, often appearing simultaneously as the first and last rings, making it difficult to distinguish which side is the first ring. In practice, judgment can be made based on the interval between color rings according to experience. The first few rings are almost close and equidistant, while the last ring is relatively far away from the previous one. The following figure can be used as a reference.
Addendum:
Six color ring resistor identification method: counting from left to right, the first color ring is the digit with the highest resistance value; The second color ring represents the second digit of the resistance value; The third color ring represents the third digit of the resistance value; The fourth color ring represents the multiplication of the resistance value; The fifth color ring represents the allowable deviation of the resistance value, and the sixth color ring represents the temperature coefficient of the resistor.
Note: Six color ring resistors are only used in electronic products with specific requirements, and are generally used very rarely. A brief understanding is sufficient.
Color ring identification is mainly used on cylindrical resistors, such as carbon film resistors, color ring resistors, metal film resistors, fuse resistors, winding resistors, metal oxide film resistors, etc.
