Ohm Bands

SMD code 522 — 5.2 kΩ

A surface-mount resistor has no bands. This one is a three-digit marking: 52 × 10². Parts marked this way are usually ±5% or ±2%.

5.2 kΩ

Same value, other markings

5.2 kΩ 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 522. On a 0402 part these are a fraction of a millimetre of printing — worth a second look before you solder.
