Resistor Labels

Get your resistors organised with colour coded labels. These labels show both 4 and 5 band markings. There are different ways that resistors can be identified and I've shown that too.

Here Are the Labels

During Covid lockdown I spent time making these labels. I hope they are correct and everything is there. If you're into electronics, I'm sure you'll be able to fix any mistakes. The hard stuff has been done

Print Them Out and Cut Them Up

I went to the camera shop and had the labels printed onto A4 sized photo paper. Bright and true colours. I cut up the labels and laminated. Double sided. I live in an earthquake prone country so little component drawers are gonna fly during a shake. That's why I store things in ziplock bags.

How I Organise Resisters

I divide my resistors into dividers. All the 1s (brown) together. All the 2s (red) together. Etc. I don't go by numerical increasing values.

Put Them in a Box

Not just any box. I made a laser cut box from 5mm ply. The box label is 3d printed and I've included some vintage resistors too.
