1/4w470R Resistor (4-Band-R) (Metal oxide film) Code: 07790133

A 1/4W 470 ohm resistor is a standard fixed-value component used to limit or control current in electronic circuits. It is widely used in breadboarding, protecting LEDs, and voltage dividers.

Specifications & Performance

• Resistance:470 Ω (Ohms)
• Power Rating:25 Watts (1/4W)
• Tolerance:Typically ± 1% (Metal Film) or ± 5% (Carbon Film)
• Operating Voltage:Safe up to ~250V (Metal Film) or 350V (Carbon Film)
• Temperature Range:-55°C to +155°C

Color Code & Reading
To identify the resistor without a multimeter, read the color bands from left to right (with the tolerance band—usually Gold or Brown—on the far right):

• Yellow(4) – First digit
• Violet(7) – Second digit
• Black(0) – Third digit (in 5-band resistors)
• Black(× 1 Ω) – Multiplier
• Brown(± 1%) or Gold (± 5%) – Tolerance

(Note: Older 4-band resistors use Yellow-Violet-Brown-Gold)
