Decode SMD codes and color bands to inductance values
Click to try:
SMD inductor codes represent inductance in microhenries (µH):
Example: 101 = 10 × 101 = 100 µH
Inductors use the same color code as resistors, with value in µH:
| Color | Digit | Multiplier | Tolerance |

| Black | 0 | ×1 | - |
| Brown | 1 | ×10 | ±1% |
| Red | 2 | ×100 | ±2% |
| Orange | 3 | ×1,000 | - |
| Yellow | 4 | ×10,000 | - |
| Green | 5 | ×100,000 | ±0.5% |
| Blue | 6 | ×1,000,000 | ±0.25% |
| Violet | 7 | - | ±0.1% |
| Grey | 8 | - | - |
| White | 9 | - | - |
