Product Overview
Rated at 33 ohms with a 1% tolerance, this metal film through-hole resistor delivers stable current limiting and signal conditioning across analog and digital circuitry. The blue-coated body features standard five-band color coding with straight axial leads suited for breadboard prototyping, perfboard construction, or PCB assembly.
Key Features
- Resistance: 33 ohms (33 Ω)
- Tolerance: ±1%
- Color code: Five-band EIA (orange, orange, black, gold, brown)
- Termination: Axial through-hole wire leads
- Body coating: Blue protective epoxy
Applications
- Breadboard prototyping and electronics bench testing requiring precise low-value series resistance
- Audio amplifier biasing, LED current limiting, and digital logic line termination
- Vintage audio equipment, synthesizer, and power supply circuit repair
Frequently Asked Questions
How do the color bands identify the resistance value?
The five color bands follow standard EIA coding: orange (3), orange (3), black (0), gold (multiplier 0.1), and brown (±1% tolerance), calculating to 330 x 0.1 = 33 ohms at ±1%.
What mounting style does this resistor use?
It uses standard axial through-hole mounting with straight wire leads intended for soldering into printed circuit boards, perfboards, or inserting into solderless breadboards.
Why buy individual resistors instead of a large bulk assortment?
You get the exact component needed for your repair or build without paying for hundreds of unused values you will never need. More pieces cost less each, and the price-break table on this page shows what each quantity costs. Shipping is an $8 flat rate, free once the order passes $28, and orders leave our Idaho warehouse the same or next business day.
Sometimes getting a dead board back on the bench comes down to one humble 33-ohm link. Solder it in, trim the leads, and let the circuit do what it was built to do.
