Resistor value & visible condition?

Hi...

Perhaps the colours in the picture don't come out quite right.... but if they do looks like 7500 ohms to me :) (violet-green-red?)

Ken

I'm seeing red-green-orange!

Hi...

Oops. Not on my monitor :)

Even looked again - same thing :)

I guess that kinda means maybe we oughtn't depend on digital pictures for this kinda stuff, eh?

Ken

Sure looks like 15k to me: brown-green-orange-gold...

Wow! You guys are quick to reply!

Maarten could be correct. I have been reading it as red/green/orange but my red is quite dull/muddy and could be brown. Fwiw, I do much video editing therefore calibrate my monitors often. On my end the colors display as true as the part in front of me. Ken is right though as I understand the problems with monitor calibration of the masses...no two are exactly the same and a question like this could be quite confusing. ;-)

Now that I'm not even sure of my ohms value (lol) which I thought I was, anyone have an opinion on the possible origin of the encrustation? Errant adhesive put through heat cycles...or leakage? Plus, does the body color gray give me any additional information about the resistor? Watts, material, type, etc?

Thanks again guys for the very swift responses!

Even the resistors themselves are getting harder to ID. Why they would make the body red I will never know.

brown/green/org gold

Looks like Brown-Green, but the third is tough. If RED (hundreds) if Orange (Thousands) so 1.5K or 15K Gold=5%

Almost certainly the brown stuff is glue. I guess the resistor is of a wirewound, non-flammable type, at least 1W.

I agree: with +-5% Tolerance, it can't be 25 K nor 75 K Nprmalized values within the E12 series are:

Thanks Maarten. That is the info I was looking for.

Assuming Br/Gr/Or the ohms test is spot on at 15.3k meaning that there really is no need for replacement now. Much appreciate your informative replies. ;-)

Cheers!

material,

I believe we have a consensus on the br/gr/or. Appreciate the input!

Appreciate the reply and link John. Pretty positive on the orange and now going to go with the groups advice and agree with Br/Gr.

I Thank you and everybody else that replied to my query. :-)))

Cheers!

And on my monitor it looks like a 15k - brown/green/orange

You are probably right, it is much too small to fit 15k worth of wire on...
