| Why is silver band in the middle of these 5 band resistors ? |

| 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? |
