SMD code 30B — 20 Ω
A surface-mount resistor has no bands. This one is an EIA-96 marking: code 30 is 2 in the E96 series, B multiplies by 10. Parts marked this way are usually ±1%.

20 Ω
The same part, in bands
The through-hole version of 20 Ω carries 4 colour bands instead.
Everything about 20 Ω — power ratings, what ten cost, what is in stock.
Same value, other markings
20 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 |

Codes you will mistake it for
One character apart from 30B. On a 0402 part these are a fraction of a millimetre of printing — worth a second look before you solder.
