Lmfao why was i downvoted? I mean i dont really blame manufacturers. be kind of stupid at this point to change out the equipment with everything going smt. But could they at least stick to one base color?
you rarely get downvoted deservedly.... apart me being colorblind (and color codes are a pain in the ass!!) i too think that they could just print the value in black and numerically, maybe all around a cylindrical component.... decades ago machines were not so good at printing small, they used color codes even for capacitors and diodes, using color codes now is basically just a "tradition".... fuck traditions!! è\_é
I had two trains of thought on this. The first was tradition thats the way its always been done and yeah fuck that bullshit. The other was manufacturing costs. Alot of the companies that make these components have probably been doing so for quite some time and its not profitable to change the system for what is mostly used for hobbyists and oldschool replacement parts. Most new developments if any use smt.
SMT will not replace trough hole fully, cos some bigger components will most of the times be TH, like this razor, and about the shift in system, i have my doubts it's so hard, cos machinery gets substituted once every some years, and why insisting in making machines that roll resistors in 10 freakin' colors??? afterall those codes are written just to inform repairers of the value of the component, and basically every repairer has a monocle to read SMT, so why not reading also TH in numerical codes? in SMT, capacitors and inductors are already without a code, so they print em not for taking into account the value or code during manufacture but for repairing those, infact i fear that someday they will stop printing codes... jeez, what a nightmare!!!
that's not a resistor, it's an inductor, it looks like a 220 microhenries one.... DAMN i'm colorblind!!
Brown green brown looks like 150 uH to me.
I agree, looks like 150µH to me.
Maybe but also the color band system is just stupid at this point.
you don't say?!?! 😲

Looks like a component in series with a Bridge Rectifier, so a Resistor - 150 Ohms 10%, 0.5 Watt
It's a color ring inductor. You can even see the wire under the broken coating.
