Ohm Bands

SMD code 87H — 78.7 Ω

A surface-mount resistor has no bands. This one is an EIA-96 marking: code 87 is 7.87 in the E96 series, H multiplies by 10. Parts marked this way are usually ±1%.

Codes you will mistake it for

One character apart from 87H. On a 0402 part these are a fraction of a millimetre of printing — worth a second look before you solder.
