For each of these codes colored dots or bands are used to indicate the value of the capacitor.

Capacitor color band codes. All the color bands painted on the capacitors body are used to indicate the capacitance value and capacitance tolerance. First of all capacitors are coded in pico farads pronounced peko farads. The markings format is dependent upon what type of capacitor is given.
Some of these markings and codes include capacitor polarity marking. These markings and codes indicate various properties for the capacitors and it is essential to understand them in order to select the required type. The number of dots or bands on a capacitor may vary from one another.
If we consider a four color band capacitor then the first and second colors marked on the capacitor represents the value of the capacitor and the third color band represents the decimal multiplier in picofarads. A separate code the 25 pair color code is used to identify wires in some telecommunications cables. The color codes currently in use are the joint army navy jan code and the radio manufacturers association rma code.
Capacitors have a variety of marking codes on them. The color code used to represent capacitance values is similar to that used to represent resistance values. Even a value that you are accustomed to thinking of in microfarads such as a 1 microfarad is coded as 100000 pico farads.
In general four or more than four colors or dots are used to mark capacitors. An electronic color code is used to indicate the values or ratings of electronic components usually for resistors but also for capacitors inductors diodes and others. Capacitor color code different bands.
And ceramic capacitor code respectively. Generally color codes are indicated using dots or bands. For mica capacitors color coding is shown in dots while for tubular capacitors it may be shown using bands.
Different codes are used for wire leads on devices such as transformers or in building wiring. The colors painted on the capacitors body are called color bands. There are various different ways in which the marking is done on the capacitors.
A mica capacitor it should be noted may be marked with either three dots or six dots. The end color is the second digit band b and the dot is the multiplier band c. Home capacitors capacitor colour codes capacitor colour codes generally the actual values of capacitance voltage or tolerance are marked onto the body of the capacitors in the form of alphanumeric characters.
The capacitors first and second bands are the significant number bands the third is the multiplier followed by the percentage tolerance band and the voltage band. There are two types of flat capacitors and one cylindrical that use color codes. They are shown in the figure below.
Color coding in capacitor. Today most capacitors are marked with alphanumeric codes but older capacitors may be seen that have colour codes. After clicking on calculate the calculator will use the selected conditions for all of the bands and try to make a calculation.
In color coding technique the capacitance value is marked on the capacitors body by using colors.
