Frequently asked questions

What are the colors of a 82 kΩ resistor?

On a 4-band resistor: grey, red, orange, gold. On a 5-band resistor: grey, red, black, red, brown.

What is the SMD code for 82 kΩ?

823 on 3-digit resistors and 8202 on 4-digit (1%) resistors.

How much current flows through a 82 kΩ resistor at 5 V?

61 µA, dissipating 305 µW. A 1/8 W resistor is enough.

Which resistors get mixed up with 82 kΩ?

grey, red, red, gold is 8.2 kΩ and grey, red, yellow, gold is 820 kΩ: only the third band changes, so check it carefully.
