SMD code 86A — 7.68 Ω

A surface-mount resistor has no bands. This one is an EIA-96 marking: code 86 is 7.68 in the E96 series, A multiplies by 1. Parts marked this way are usually ±1%.

Same value, other markings

7.68 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 86A. On a 0402 part these are a fraction of a millimetre of printing — worth a second look before you solder.
