Four Bands

33 Ω resistor colour code

Four bands: Orange · Orange · Black · Gold. The first two give the digits, the third multiplies, the fourth states how far off the real part may be.

33 ohms

Real range at ±5%

31.35 Ω – 34.65 Ω

A gold band allows this much drift.

The same value on a five-band part

Precision resistors carry three significant digits instead of two, so the same 33 Ω looks different.
