SMD code 45X — 0.287 Ω

A surface-mount resistor has no bands. This one is an EIA-96 marking: code 45 is 2.87 in the E96 series, X multiplies by 0.1. Parts marked this way are usually ±1%.

0.287 Ω

Same value, other markings

0.287 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 45X. On a 0402 part these are a fraction of a millimetre of printing — worth a second look before you solder.
