Ohm Bands

SMD code 2804 — 2.8 MΩ

A surface-mount resistor has no bands. This one is a four-digit marking: 280 × 10⁴. Parts marked this way are usually ±1% or tighter.

Same value, other markings

2.8 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 2804. On a 0402 part these are a fraction of a millimetre of printing — worth a second look before you solder.
