The electronic color code is used to indicate the values or ratings of electronic components, very commonly 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 (now part of Electronic Industries Alliance [1] (EIA)), and was published as EIA-RS-279. The current international standard is IEC 60062. [2] Colorbands were commonly used (especially on resistors ) because they were easily printed on tiny components, decreasing construction costs. 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 from orange. Advances in printing technology have made printed numbers practical for small components, which are often found in modern electronics.
