SMD code 5V06U
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.
5V06U is a capacitor marking
6 µF, 5 V
6 µF capacitor, 5 V
The value and the rated voltage are printed in full: 6 µF, 5 V. A value this large is usually an electrolytic, which is polarised: on an aluminium can the stripe marks the negative lead, and one fitted backwards can vent.
Check it with a meter
Lift one end and measure it on a capacitance range. A good one reads close to 6 µF. In circuit the meter also sees everything connected across it, so the reading means little until it is out. An electrolytic that has dried out can still read close to its value while its ESR has risen, which only an ESR meter shows. A domed or leaking top means it has failed. A failed reading does not change what to fit: the marking still says 6 µF, 5 V. Fit the same capacitance at the same or a higher voltage.
On a transistor or diode body (SOIC-8, TSSOP-8), 5V06U is a part code instead. Those parts are listed below.

Is it dead?
Diode range and ohms range, part lifted.
Working, it reads
Depends on what it is. The datasheet, or an identical part, says.
Dead, it reads
- Between two pins, the same reading both ways, near 0 V with a continuous beep: shorted.
- Open between every pair of pins: failed open, or a part that reads open when working.
- On the board
- this is a first look only: the meter reads every path between those pins, and a short can be a neighbour. Lift one leg before you condemn it.
- Compare:
- If an identical part sits elsewhere on the board, measure it the same way: that is what this one should read.
A dead part still carries its marking. A short or an open says it has failed, not that it is a different part.
