Ohm Bands

SMD code 2052 — 20.5 kΩ

A surface-mount resistor has no bands. This one is a four-digit marking: 205 × 10². Parts marked this way are usually ±1% or tighter.

The same part, in bands

The through-hole version of 20.5 kΩ carries 5 colour bands instead.

Same value, other markings

20.5 kΩ 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 2052. On a 0402 part these are a fraction of a millimetre of printing — worth a second look before you solder.
