Ohm Bands

SMD code 166 — 16 MΩ

A surface-mount resistor has no bands. This one is a three-digit marking: 16 × 10⁶. Parts marked this way are usually ±5% or ±2%.

166

reads as

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 166. On a 0402 part these are a fraction of a millimetre of printing — worth a second look before you solder.
