Ohm Bands

SMD code 18C — 150 Ω

A surface-mount resistor has no bands. This one is an EIA-96 marking: code 18 is 1.5 in the E96 series, C multiplies by 100. Parts marked this way are usually ±1%.

The same part, in bands

The through-hole version of 150 Ω carries 4 colour bands instead.

Everything about 150 Ω — power ratings, what ten cost, what is in stock.

Same value, other markings

150 Ω 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 18C. On a 0402 part these are a fraction of a millimetre of printing — worth a second look before you solder.
