A search for a more intuitive way is what led to his alternate cheat sheet for resistor color codes. Color code references typically have a reader think of a 560 kΩ resistor as 56 * 10 kΩ, but ...

Some people look at a venerable resource like resistor color code charts and see something tried and true, but to [Andrew Jeddeloh], there’s room for improvement. A search for a more intuitiv… ...

The resistor color code system is fine, but we need to understand how to apply it in order to get the correct value of resistor. The chart below shows a lot more information than showing the values ...

The resistor color code is always read one band at a time starting from left to the right, with the larger width tolerance band oriented to the right side indicating its tolerance. By matching the ...
