Geocache Description:


Leirvika mystery



Information:
The electronic color code is used to indicate the values or ratings of electronic components, usually for resistors, but also for capacitors, inductors, and others. A separate code, the 25-pair color code, is used to identify wires in some telecommunications cables.

The electronic color code was developed in the early 1920s by the Radio Manufacturers Association , and was published as EIA-RS-279. The current international standard is IEC 60062.

Colorbands were used because they were easily and cheaply printed on tiny components. However, there were drawbacks, especially for color blind people. Overheating of a component or dirt accumulation, may make it impossible to distinguish brown from red or orange. Advances in printing technology have now made printed numbers practical on small components. Where passive components come in surface mount packages, their values are identified with printed alphanumeric codes instead of a color code.
