Frequently asked questions
What are the colors of a 200 kΩ resistor?
On a 4-band resistor: red, black, yellow, gold. On a 5-band resistor: red, black, black, orange, brown.
What is the SMD code for 200 kΩ?
204 on 3-digit resistors and 2003 on 4-digit (1%) resistors.
How much current flows through a 200 kΩ resistor at 5 V?
25 µA, dissipating 125 µW. A 1/8 W resistor is enough.
Which resistors get mixed up with 200 kΩ?
red, black, orange, gold is 20 kΩ and red, black, green, gold is 2 MΩ: only the third band changes, so check it carefully.
