SMD code 25C — 178 Ω
A surface-mount resistor has no bands. This one is an EIA-96 marking: code 25 is 1.78 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 178 Ω carries 5 colour bands instead.
Everything about 178 Ω — power ratings, what ten cost, what is in stock.
Same value, other markings
178 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 25C. On a 0402 part these are a fraction of a millimetre of printing — worth a second look before you solder.
