Electronic – SMD precision resistor color code (0805)

colour-codingprecisionresistors

We have specified some 0805 resistors to be 0.2ppm/C. On some boards/batches these are green. On others more "normal" looking. We specified Vishay. Is there some color code that indicates ultra-precision packages?

We have noticed different temperature sensitivity between the boards

There is no standard color code for the temperature coefficient of a resistor. A particular manufacturer may have a color code across their product line, or within a part of their product line. Look at the datasheets and/or consult the manufacturer directly.

Most likely the color is just a by-product of the manufacturing process, and not something deliberately selected by the manufacturer.
