Is this a resistor?

IT is light blue in color has in order a red stripe then there is a thicker black strip followed by a thinner black stripe and finally a brown stripe? Is this a resistor I need one for a welder and this is burned out in a circuit board. Where could I get one? I see radio shack has alot of them but no light blue ones? Thanks

Answer:
Yes. I think is a 200 ohm resistor.

Light blue is most likely an inductor, NOT a resistor. Very different things.

Whatever it is (difficult to tell without seeing it) it was probably fried by something else failing. Replacing it alone will just result in another fry up.

Color code is:
black=0
brown=1
red= 2
orange= 3
yellow=4
green=5
blue = 6
violet=7
grey=8
white=9

First two bands are value
third band is multiplier (10^x)
A fourth band of silver or gold gives precision.

eg yellow violet orange silver
4 7 1000(10^3) 5%

Resistor = 47k ohms = 47000ohms

Light blue doesn't sound like a resistor at all, if it has stripes. Let us know how long this thing is.

I've seen metal film resistors with light bllue bodies, before. It could be a 200 Ohm resistor (probably 1/4 watt), but to be absolutely sure I'd have to see it. Like one answerer above says, it could also be an inductor.

If you can get hold of a multi-meter you could measure it. Select "Ohms" or "Resistance" on the meter with a scale of 200, or 1000 (something greater than 200) and measure the resistor. If it reads '200' then it is a 200 Ohm resistor. If it measures near zero Ohms then it is an inductor.

.

if this is a resistor then
red is 2
black is 0
black is x1
brown is ±1%
so 20 ohm at ± 1% tolerance
