E24 series resistors

Color code, range and shorthand
notation
The following is a long list of all E24 series resistors - from
0.1 ohm to 10 M ohms - with the shorthand notation,
tolerance range and color code.
The 4th band is always gold (5% tolerance) for the E24
series. A 5th band may be present, indicating the
reliability or the temperature coefficient. See also the
theory behind resistor color coding and the 3, 4 and 5
bands resistor color to value and value to color code
calculator.
