SMD code 6R0 — 6 Ω
A surface-mount resistor has no bands. This one is a three-digit marking: the R is the decimal point — 6.0 Ω. Parts marked this way are usually ±5% or ±2%.
6R0
reads as
6 Ω
Same value, other markings
6 Ω is printed several ways depending on the part's precision and size. A board can carry all of them at once.
How much it can take
| Across it | Dissipated | Smallest package that copes |
|---|---|---|
| 5 V | 4.17 W | no standard part — needs a power resistor or a heatsink |
| 12 V | 24 W | no standard part — needs a power resistor or a heatsink |

Codes you will mistake it for
One character apart from 6R0. On a 0402 part these are a fraction of a millimetre of printing — worth a second look before you solder.
