This sub is growing surprisingly fast. It wasn’t that long ago that we hit 100 k subscribers.
At this rate we’ll hit the next milestone (470 k subscribers) in 18 months.
220K ± 5%
Aah, clever
Actually amazing post tbh won’t get the recognition it deserves probably well done OP

Nice good round numbers! Next up, 470k-homies.

I couldn’t resist commenting on this.
Damn. It’s been so long not using through hole components I forgot how to read the resistor color codes.
Thats so genius !
I’d say this is shocking but we’re people with electric personalities, so of course people are going to be magnetically drawn here!
As of the moment of me commenting that 4th band could have comfortably been blue.
r/angryupvote
As someone who came here from /r/all, can anyone explain the joke?
Next stop, orange orange yellow.
Still in tolerance though… Nice
If you’re sticking to E24 then the next milestone is red – yellow – yellow
0 black.
1 brown.
2 red.
3 orange.
4 yellow.
5 green.
6 blue.
7 violet.
8 grey.
9 white.
0.1 gold.
0.01 silver.
3-5 bands one end, one band at the other, sometimes the gap is small and it’s confusing
the single band can be silver, gold or brown, it’s the tolerance% 20,10,1
3-5 band group reads left to right with group on left and tolerance band on the right
last band in group is multiplier, power of 10 , black is x1 brown is x10 red is x100 etc.
the leftmost digits (excluding the multiplier) are the significant figures, there are no implied decimals
example in photo: R R Y gold
gold is 10% tolerance
resitor value in Ohms : R R Y. 2 2 4. 22 x 10^4. 220 x 10^3
power of 10 converted to multiple of 3 by convention
the multiples of 3 powers of 10 have names
10^3 is Kilo, 1000 units, abbreviated K
we write 220K Ohms. +/-10%
You could have posted that when you only had 224 subscribers too
When I first read the heading, I thought it was some weird club that only appreciated 220K resistors. But after reading it to the bottom, I get it now. (Anyone want to join my “0.033 uf
ceramic capacitor ” fan club?
The colors are all muddy brown anymore. I’m pretty sure it’s not my fading eyesight, LOL. Yeah I use a meter to be sure.
220.. Nice. You can light an LED..
