Used in the battery (-) lead of a handheld scope. Schematics unpublished.

Physically similar to a 1/4 W resistor, color light green. Marked "IE7A"
or
"1E7A".

Google returns slim results, none promising.

What type is this?

Thanks,
Dave



I take it , that its blown and I also take it that its not charred (fusible
R don't char or even discolour AFAIK)
Desolder it and scrape an axial line along its length . Then DVM resistance
check from either end. If a fusible resistor then maximum R read is what its
value was near enough.
FR breaks are usually to one end, normal R usually in the middle.
Although green is often axial inductor.
