Good day All!
I've been harvesting components from old electronic devices (again). I came across an Inductor (at least I think that it is an inductor because the PCB stated "L1"). The inductor looks similar to a 1/2 watt resistor, with color bands, axial leads etc.
Does anyone know the color code system to find the value of this inductor? Is the color code system similar to that of resistors? Also, what unit of measure is the color code system based upon? uH? H? etc.
I appreciate your assistance. Have a good evening!
