SMD code 2R50 — 2.5 Ω
A surface-mount resistor has no bands. This one is a four-digit marking: the R is the decimal point — 2.50 Ω. Parts marked this way are usually ±1% or tighter.
2R50
reads as
2.5 Ω
Same value, other markings
2.5 Ω is printed several ways depending on the part's precision and size. A board can carry all of them at once.
How much it can take
| Across it | Dissipated | Smallest package that copes |
|---|---|---|
| 5 V | 10 W | no standard part — needs a power resistor or a heatsink |
| 12 V | 57.6 W | no standard part — needs a power resistor or a heatsink |

Codes you will mistake it for
One character apart from 2R50. On a 0402 part these are a fraction of a millimetre of printing — worth a second look before you solder.
