Identify an unknown SMD part: marking code “M67”
Packages rarely print the full part number. The marking below is shared by several part numbers —
use the package, pin count and the manufacturer family
together to narrow it down, then confirm against the datasheet.
6 candidates 1 with manufacturer source-traceable
Candidate part numbers
| Part number | Manufacturer | Package | Mapping source |
|---|
| BF545C | PHI | SOT-23 | Public marking directory |
| FN1A4Z-K | — | SC-59 | Public marking directory |
| GN1A4Z-Q | — | SOT-323 16ta - 3a Nec | Public marking directory |
| XC61FN2652M | — | SOT-23 16vdb VD6 3d Tor | Public marking directory |
| XC61FN2652P | — | SOT-89 | Public marking directory |
| XC61HN2652MR | — | SOT-23 16vdc VD6 3d Tor | Public marking directory |
How we narrow this down
- Package first — SOT-23 vs SOD-123 vs SC-59 eliminates most candidates immediately.
- Pin count and body size — a 3-pin SOT-23 LDO cannot be a 6-pin dual transistor.
- Marking style — laser-marked parts are usually newer production; ink marking often indicates older or second-source vendors.
- Circuits around it — a part sitting on a rail with an inductor is a regulator, not a diode.
- Datasheet check — every credible candidate lists its marking scheme in the “marking information” section.
FAQ
- Same code, several parts — which one do I actually have?
Compare package + pin count + surrounding circuit; if it still fits two parts, request a sample verification before production.
- Can I substitute between the candidates?
No — the same marking may sit on electrically different parts. Always match the electrical spec sheet, not just the marking.
- Where do these mappings come from?
Public SMD marking directories and historical stock tables; each row keeps its source so you can trace it.

Still not sure what the part is?
Send the code, package and a photo through the BOM hub — our engineers
cross-check it against datasheets and sourcing records.
How these mappings are compiled: public SMD marking directories plus our own
stock records. Each row keeps its original reference internally, so any mapping can be traced
on request.
Markings are indicative only — confirm with the physical batch marking and the original
datasheet before ordering.
