470R
0.5W Carbon Film Resistor


The colour code bands from left to right are yellow,violet,brown
for 4,7 and one zero in Ohms or 470 Ohms. This is normally
abbreviated to 470R. The tolerance band is gold for
+/-5%. A 0.5 Watt power rating is higher than required in
this circuit but the higher power makes the resistor physically
larger and so it is easier to handle in the terminal block, and
reading the bands is also easier.
