Frequently asked questions
What are the colors of a 200 Ω resistor?
On a 4-band resistor: red, black, brown, gold. On a 5-band resistor: red, black, black, black, brown.
What is the SMD code for 200 Ω?
201 on 3-digit resistors and 2000 on 4-digit (1%) resistors.
How much current flows through a 200 Ω resistor at 5 V?
25 mA, dissipating 125 mW. A 1/4 W resistor is enough.
Which resistors get mixed up with 200 Ω?
red, black, black, gold is 20 Ω and red, black, red, gold is 2 kΩ: only the third band changes, so check it carefully.
