20pcs 1.5k ohms resistor 4 band 1/4w

The four band color code is the most common variation. These resistors have two bands for the resistance value, one multiplier and one tolerance band. In the example shown here, the 4 bands are green, blue, red and gold. By using the color code chart, one finds that green stands for 5 and blue for 6. The third band is the multiplier, with red representing a multiplier value of 2 (102). Therefore, the value of this resistor is 56 · 102 = 56 · 100 = 5600 Ω. The gold band means that the resistor has a tolerance of 5%. The resistance value lies therefore between 5320 and 5880 Ω (5560 ± 5%). If the tolerance band is left blank, the result is a 3 band resistor. This means that the resistance value remains the same, but the tolerance is 20%.
