Frequently asked questions
How do I read the color bands of this resistor?
The first three bands are blue, grey and black, which give 68 Ohm (6, 8, multiplier x1). The fourth band indicates tolerance.
Is a 0.25W resistor suitable for an LED circuit?
It can be used for low-power LED current limiting. Calculate the power dissipated as P = I² × R and make sure it stays below 0.25W for your circuit.
