Ohm Bands

SMD code 6812 — 68.1 kΩ

A surface-mount resistor has no bands. This one is a four-digit marking: 681 × 10². Parts marked this way are usually ±1% or tighter.

Codes you will mistake it for

One character apart from 6812. On a 0402 part these are a fraction of a millimetre of printing — worth a second look before you solder.
