133 Ω resistor colour code
Five bands: Brown · Orange · Orange · Black · Brown. The first three give the digits — a precision value needs all three — then the multiplier, then how far off the real part may be.

A brown band allows this much drift.
Series
E96
A 1% precision value. Five bands, not four.
Band by band
| Band | Colour | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Brown | 1st digit — 1 |
| 2 | Orange | 2nd digit — 3 |
| 3 | Orange | 3rd digit — 3 |
| 4 | Black | Multiplier — ×1 |
| 5 | Brown | Tolerance — ±1% |
How much it can take
Current and dissipation across the resistor, and the package you need. The suggested rating keeps a factor of two in hand, which is what anyone building a board actually does.
| Across it | Current | Dissipated | Package to pick |
|---|---|---|---|
| 3.3 V | 24.8 mA | 81.9 mW | 1/4 W |
| 5 V | 37.6 mA | 188 mW | 1/2 W |
| 12 V | 90.2 mA | 1.08 W | 5 W |
| 24 V | 180 mA | 4.33 W | no standard part — needs a power resistor or a heatsink |

The same value, marked differently
Values that can overlap this one
At ±1% the tolerance bands of neighbouring values run into each other. A part sold as one of these could measure the same as a 133 Ω — which is why measuring beats reading when it matters.
If you do not have one
Standard values that land within 1% of 133 Ω when combined.
