2.4 kΩ resistor colour code
Four bands: Red · Yellow · Red · Gold. The first two give the digits, the third multiplies, the fourth states how far off the real part may be.
Nominal
2.4 kΩ
2,400 ohms
Real range at ±5%
2.28 kΩ – 2.52 kΩ
A gold band allows this much drift.

Band by band
| Band | Colour | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Red | 1st digit — 2 |
| 2 | Yellow | 2nd digit — 4 |
| 3 | Red | Multiplier — ×100 |
| 4 | Gold | Tolerance — ±5% |
The same value on a five-band part
Precision resistors carry three significant digits instead of two, so the same 2.4 kΩ looks different.
