SMD code 93R

Marking codes are not standardised, and the same code is reused by unrelated makers for unrelated parts. Below is every part in our tables printed with it, and any printed with a code that is easy to misread as it, from the manufacturers' own marking tables and published code lists.

93R on a chip resistor

93 Ω

93 Ω resistor

A trailing R marks the value in ohms, with nothing after the decimal point. The same marking also reads as 9.09 Ω, and nothing in the code says which; the body of the part does.

Other readings of the same characters, most likely first

  • 9.09 Ω resistor, 1%

Check it with a meter

Lift one end and measure across it. A good one reads 93 Ω. Measuring it in circuit reads the parallel combination of everything around it, which is almost always lower, never higher: well above 93 Ω on the board is a fault. Open, or well above 93 Ω, means it has failed: burnt, cracked or corroded. That does not change what to fit: the marking still says 93 Ω. A burnt resistor usually means the part it feeds drew too much, so find that before fitting a new one.

On a transistor or diode body (SOT-23-5, SOT-23-6, SOT-89-5), 93R is a part code instead. Those parts are listed below.

Is it dead? One meter test per kind

Parts of the same kind are tested the same way, so each test is here once. Each part above points to its own.

RF amplifier

Voltage, board powered, on the output pin that the bias resistor or choke feeds.

Working, it reads

The output pin sits at the device voltage the datasheet gives, a few volts, below the supply.

Dead, it reads

  • Output pin at 0 V, or near 0 Ω to ground with the power off: shorted inside.
  • Output pin at the full supply voltage: open inside, no current flowing.
On the board:
Measured on the board with power on; the bias network is part of the reading.
Compare:
If an identical part sits elsewhere on the board, measure it the same way: that is what this one should read.
Watch for:
The figures depend on the part and its bias resistor. The datasheet gives both.

A dead part still carries its marking. A short or an open says it has failed, not that it is a different part.

Integrated circuit

Voltage with the board powered; ohms from each pin to ground with it off.

Working, it reads

Supply pin at its voltage and the output doing what the datasheet says. Readings between pins depend on the part.

Dead, it reads

  • A pin near 0 Ω to ground or to the supply pin where an identical part does not read that: failed short.
  • Supply present, output stuck: failed, or its load has.
On the board:
A pin shorted to ground on the board can be anything on that net. Lift the pin to be sure.
Compare:
The surest reference is the same IC on a working board, measured pin by pin.
Watch for:
Its protection diodes can read like junctions between pins, even like a transistor. That proves nothing either way.

A dead part still carries its marking. A short or an open says it has failed, not that it is a different part.

Voltage regulator

Voltage, board powered, black probe on ground. Then ohms with the power off.

Working, it reads

Input pin at the supply, output pin at its rated voltage, and the enable pin high if it has one.

Dead, it reads

  • Output equal to the input: the pass element has shorted. Everything after it may have taken the full input.
  • Input present, enable high, no output: failed open, or holding itself off into a shorted load. Power off and measure output to ground.
  • Power off, input to output near 0 Ω: shorted.
On the board:
An output at 0 V is often a shorted load with the regulator in current limit. Lift the output pin: if the short stays on the board, the regulator may be fine.
Compare:
The same regulator on another rail or another board shows the right voltages and the right resistances.
Watch for:
Makers put input, output and ground on different pins in the same package, so take them from this part's datasheet. Diode or ohms readings between its pins say little; check it powered.

A dead part still carries its marking. A short or an open says it has failed, not that it is a different part.
