Note

We did our best to check that the calculator functions for all possible codes, yet we cannot guarantee that it calculates the correct value for all resistors. Sometimes manufacturers may use custom codes. To be absolutely sure about the value kindly check the datasheet from the manufacturer or you can measure the resistance with a multimeter.

If you find any error, please let us know through here.
