Staigen Posted September 20, 2005 Report Share Posted September 20, 2005 Hi mark8denny, velcome to this boardThe resistor is probably a 600 ohms, 1 % tolerance resistor!1:st ring(stripe) = blue(6)2:nd ring = black(0)3:rd ring = black(0)4:th ring = black(0) this is the multiplier or the amount of zeros after the 3 first rings5:th ring = brown(1) this is the toleranceThere is also some other ways of marking resistors, look in our Articles section, theres a nice little "book" about resistors marking, the link is here:http://www.electronics-lab.com/articles/index.htmlA dirct link to the "book" is here:http://www1.electusdistribution.com.au/images_uploaded/rescode.pdfAlso look in our download section, theres a nice little resistor calculator!A link to the download section is here:http://www.electronics-lab.com/downloads/index.html//Staigen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blue60 Posted November 30, 2005 Report Share Posted November 30, 2005 the fact the resistor is blue dont matter, they can be blue or brown (the main color of the body of resistor not the little stripes :D) just as long as they are the same size... thats about all i know about resistors and that you cant put one in backwards ;D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
audioguru Posted November 30, 2005 Report Share Posted November 30, 2005 The light-blue resistors I've seen are "flame-proof". If you use an ordinary resistor in your meter and it goes "poof" again, it will set your meter and maybe your house on fire!!If you install it backwards then you might need to stand on your head to read its value. Or use it in Australia. ;D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blue60 Posted December 1, 2005 Report Share Posted December 1, 2005 how can the blue ones be flame proof resistors are made out of clay... clay can burn ??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gogo2520 Posted December 3, 2005 Report Share Posted December 3, 2005 paint burns unless its flamproof treated. gogo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
