resistor values

Guest · Posted: Sun Jan 13, 2008 6:49 pm Post subject: resistor values

I'm replacing a resistor in a board and I'm not sure if it's a 330 or 3300 ohm resistor..

What is that a red or brown 3rd band?

Put the h t t p : / / in front....... remove the space before M50. Not allowed to post link or image. Sad

Brown.. 330

looking at the picture, does not appear to be bad tho?... Before changing you may want to measure it with meter.

The link you posted did not print out well. Why can't we post links? It works for me, as long as you don't use it for advertising. Maybe you should 'Login' and become a member, it does not cost you anything.

I'm replacing the resistor because it gets pretty hot and I plan on raising the new resistor a little to help keep the heat away from the board. I'm in there replacing some caps so, while I'm there....

Thanks for the help.
