This is a pack of 200 33K Ohm (33,000 Ω) carbon film resistors with a 1/2 watt (0.5 W) power rating, ±5% tolerance and a 250 V maximum working voltage. Carbon film resistors use a thin layer of carbon as the resistive element, making them a common, economical choice for general-purpose circuits. Buying in quantity keeps a steady supply of this value on hand for builds, classrooms and repairs.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the color code for a 33K Ohm 5% resistor?
On the standard 4-band code, 33K Ohm with ±5% tolerance reads orange, orange, orange, gold.
What does ±5% tolerance mean?
The actual resistance can be up to 5% above or below the nominal value, so a 33K Ohm part may measure between 31,350 and 34,650 Ω.
Can I use a 1/2 W resistor in place of a 1/4 W one?
Generally yes, if the resistance matches and it physically fits; a higher wattage rating just means it can safely dissipate more heat.
