The 5th coloured band on a resistor represents the
- reliability or temperature coefficient.
- tolerance.
- multiplier.
Explanation from PART66Online
On a five-band military-style resistor the additional band beyond the value, multiplier and tolerance bands denotes the reliability (failure-rate) factor or temperature coefficient rather than repeating tolerance or multiplier. The multiplier and tolerance are carried by earlier bands.
