Inductor Color Code Guide

This document provides a simple guide to reading inductor color codes. It explains that inductor color codes are identical to resistor codes. To determine the value, break down the color bands into numbers where the last band indicates the tolerance and second last indicates the multiplier in microhenrys. For example, the colors brown, orange, brown, black would mean the value is 13 x 10 +/- 20%, or 130 microhenrys with a 20% tolerance between 104 to 156 microhenrys. Practice with online tutorials is recommended to learn reading inductor color codes quickly.

This will be a simple guide to reading inductor color codes The color codes for inductors are identical

to that of a resistor so if you are familiar with resistors this should be very easy the tricky part is remembering the results from this will be in microHenrys, not just Henrys First break down the bands. The last band is the tolerance, and the band right before that is the multiplier. The other bands are the numbers so the easiest way will be to show an example. Say we have the colors BROWN, ORANGE, BROWN, BLACK They would mean the inductor has a value of: BROWN - ORANGE - BROWN - BLACK 1 3 X10 +/-20% So we have 13 x 10 +/-20%, meaning out inductance is 130 micro Henrys with a 20 percent tolerance, or in other words, our actual inductance can be anywhere between 104 and 156 micro Henrys.

Pretty straight forward, you can find some online interactive tutorials for practice, but you should pick it up pretty quickly
