Four Bands

43 kΩ resistor colour code

Four bands: Yellow · Orange · Orange · Gold. The first two give the digits, the third multiplies, the fourth states how far off the real part may be.

Real range at ±5%

40.85 kΩ – 45.15 kΩ

A gold band allows this much drift.

The same value on a five-band part

Precision resistors carry three significant digits instead of two, so the same 43 kΩ looks different.
