330 Ohm Resistor Color Code

Answer
330 Ω orange-orange-brown-gold

A 330 Ω resistor reads orange-orange-brown-gold on a 4-band (±5%) body: 33 × 10 = 330 Ω. Precision 5-band resistors (±1%) show orange-orange-black-black-brown.

    Frequently asked questions

    What is the SMD code for a 330 resistor?

    331 on 3-digit (5%) SMD resistors and 3300 on 4-digit (1%) ones.

    How can I tell which end to start reading from?

    Start from the end opposite the gold (5%) or brown (1%) tolerance band, which is often set slightly apart.

    Is 330 a standard resistor value?

    Yes, it belongs to the E12 series, so it is available in every common tolerance.
