Ohm Bands

SMD code 69R8 — 69.8 Ω

A surface-mount resistor has no bands. This one is a four-digit marking: the R is the decimal point — 69.8 Ω. Parts marked this way are usually ±1% or tighter.

Codes you will mistake it for

One character apart from 69R8. On a 0402 part these are a fraction of a millimetre of printing — worth a second look before you solder.
