Ohm Bands

SMD code 53B — 34.8 Ω

A surface-mount resistor has no bands. This one is an EIA-96 marking: code 53 is 3.48 in the E96 series, B multiplies by 10. Parts marked this way are usually ±1%.

Same value, other markings

34.8 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 53B. On a 0402 part these are a fraction of a millimetre of printing — worth a second look before you solder.
