Why is silver band in the middle of these 5 band resistors ?
(1/2) > >>
lordvader88:
I'm looking at 2 low value resistors that look wire wound around a 2W pink ceramic-finish looking resistor

Colors to numbers are
52silver41 or 14silver25 ?
52silver21 or 12silver25 ?

So why's silver in the middle ? All the other 5 band resistors I have aren't like that
Canis Dirus Leidy:
Most likely this is not a silver, but a white. The values of 14.9 and 12.9 kOhm exactly meet the E192 series.
Twoflower:
My wild guess would be that's not the correct answer ans a 2W E192 series doesn't match. Maybe in metrology, but I doubt that this is here the case. Also as Lorvader88 claims to be low resistance.

Can you take a decent picture of them and what device they came from?
bitwelder:
If the resistors are really low value as you guess, you should be able to measure them decently even if they connected to a circuit.
Have you tried that?
glarsson:
Silver in a band used as multiplier indicates x0.01.
Does 0.14 ohm +/-2% 20ppm/K and 0.12 ohm +/-2% 20ppm/K make sense?
