Ohm Bands

SMD code 2871 — 2.87 kΩ

A surface-mount resistor has no bands. This one is a four-digit marking: 287 × 10¹. Parts marked this way are usually ±1% or tighter.

Codes you will mistake it for

One character apart from 2871. On a 0402 part these are a fraction of a millimetre of printing — worth a second look before you solder.
