Ohm Bands

SMD code 1605 — 16 MΩ

A surface-mount resistor has no bands. This one is a four-digit marking: 160 × 10⁵. Parts marked this way are usually ±1% or tighter.

16 MΩ

Same value, other markings

16 MΩ is printed several ways depending on the part's precision and size. A board can carry all of them at once.

Codes you will mistake it for

One character apart from 1605. On a 0402 part these are a fraction of a millimetre of printing — worth a second look before you solder.
