5 band resistor
Firstly - I do know that there are 5 band codes for resistors but this one has me puzzled. Its Purple, Green, Orange, Brown and Pale Pink. To my mind it is a 75K 1% resistor with a ?temperature/ ppm rating of some kind?
Its one of the older carbon type say 2 watts and hasnt been used - all the colour bands are strong but has the last one undergone some change? It measures 75k1 on my meter. So can anyone tell me what the last band is, please? Tony |

Re: 5 band resistor
I think it means 'high stability'.

Re: 5 band resistor
Yes, salmon pink as a 5th colour indicates high stability.
