SMD code 6R2 — 6.2 Ω
A surface-mount resistor has no bands. This one is a three-digit marking: the R is the decimal point — 6.2 Ω. Parts marked this way are usually ±5% or ±2%.

The same part, in bands
The through-hole version of 6.2 Ω carries 4 colour bands instead.

Codes you will mistake it for
One character apart from 6R2. On a 0402 part these are a fraction of a millimetre of printing — worth a second look before you solder.
