Identify an SMD component

I don't know the SOT23 package. I do know I have seen surface-mount devices I would have no trouble believing capable of carrying five amps. This is another reason I asked for pictures, if possible; if (as I infer from your note) the SOT23 package is too small for it to plausibly hold a five-amp device, that theory slips down the list. As I noted, though, I'd be surprised to see such a thing on a 72-pin memory module. :-) That's one plausible other theory I have, too. A third is that the device is something more like a voltage regulator and the CR designation on the board does not indicate a rectifier, but instead, perhaps, a parts-list code, or maybe refers to some other device, or whatnot. Another reason to want pictures: to estimate how plausible some of those theories are. Yet another reason I'd like to see pictures. Many memory modules include solder pads for some large-size module; for a module of (say) half that size, only some of the RAM chips are installed. Such modules not infrequently include solder pads for what I might loosely call jumpers, to indicate the module size. It would not surprise me if that's what this device were - and if, for example, there are similar pads nearby with nothing attached on either stick, that would reinforce the theory. /~\ The ASCII der Mouse \ / Ribbon Campaign X Against HTML mouse(a)rodents.montreal.qc.ca / \ Email! 7D C8 61 52 5D E7 2D 39 4E F1 31 3E E8 B3 27 4B
