SMD code 511 — 510 Ω
A surface-mount resistor has no bands. This one is a three-digit marking: 51 × 10¹. Parts marked this way are usually ±5% or ±2%.

510 Ω
The same part, in bands
The through-hole version of 510 Ω carries 4 colour bands instead.

Same value, other markings
510 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 511. On a 0402 part these are a fraction of a millimetre of printing — worth a second look before you solder.
