SMD code 721 — 720 Ω

A surface-mount resistor has no bands. This one is a three-digit marking: 72 × 10¹. Parts marked this way are usually ±5% or ±2%.

720 Ω

Same value, other markings

720 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 721. On a 0402 part these are a fraction of a millimetre of printing — worth a second look before you solder.
