Wierd Resistor Identifaction
(OP)
Hi, I can't seem the identify this resistpr. I need to replace it and it doesn't conform to the usual standard.
It goes BROWN, BLACK, SILVER, GOLD and GREEN. On a grey resistor with equal spacing between it. It's blown and there are no others on the board like it, so i can't measure it's resistance :(
Thanks!

RE: Wierd Resistor Identifaction
Probably you are looking on a metal film type resistor. However, not only resistor nowadays used colorcoding like that but also coils, capacitors, fusable resistors, pack the same way as standard resistor. You din't mention the size in Watts.

Just a thought.
It may be as suggested a five band metal film resistor but that would be a freaky value.
It could also be the type which has a failure rate band, i.e. what the mean time between failure might be.
If that is the case then it would be 10 x 10e-2 ohms or more simply 0.1 Ohms +/- 5% with a 5% chance of failure every 1000 hours. The 5% failure rate is due to the last green band. This seems a very low resistance.
However I do also agree that it need not be a resistor. some inductors have the farmiluar bone shape & the colour codes to match (fooled me on a couple of occasions).
Check the circuit that its in i.e. draw a schematic by following the circuit & see if a resistor/capacitor/inductor is suitable in that place.
If its blown anyway , is there any chance you can dismantle it and see whats inside ?.
Also any chance you can contact the manufacturer to ask them about the resistor, or get a schmatic from a third party ?.
Whatever you try good luck.
Any help ?, yes no let me know.
Regards

Good luck and keep us posted.
