Ohm Bands

SMD code 30A — 2 Ω

A surface-mount resistor has no bands. This one is an EIA-96 marking: code 30 is 2 in the E96 series, A multiplies by 1. Parts marked this way are usually ±1%.

2 Ω

The same part, in bands

The through-hole version of 2 Ω carries 4 colour bands instead.

Everything about 2 Ω — power ratings, what ten cost, what is in stock.

Same value, other markings

2 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 30A. On a 0402 part these are a fraction of a millimetre of printing — worth a second look before you solder.
