So I'm recapping a Mac Classic II analog board, and I removed a damaged component that I don't recognize. The board is a 630-0525 type board, and the component I removed is at location LP 4.
That's an inductor, the "L" prefix denotes an inductor, P may indicate its use in a power circuit.So I'm recapping a Mac Classic II analog board, and I removed a damaged component that I don't recognize. The board is a 630-0525 type board, and the component I removed is at location LP 4.
Do you know what type/value?That's an inductor, the "L" prefix denotes an inductor, P may indicate its use in a power circuit.
I don't. But its value is likely not going to be altered too much by straightening out the very ends of the leads and reinstalling it. Its just a coil of enameled wire wound on a ferrite core, so you can rework them a little without consequences. Also, get yourself a RLC meter - they are super cheap these days and you can measure the value directly. Under the heat shrink tubing it will look something like...Do you know what type/value?
Sorry for the question, but how do you know it's even damaged? That inductor is most likely totally fine, as these can't really fail (unless the ferrit core lit. breaks).So I'm recapping a Mac Classic II analog board, and I removed a damaged component that I don't recognize.
I don't think it's broken, but the ends have some corrosion from the bad capacitors. Could I just cut the ends of the leads off and reuse it?Sorry for the question, but how do you know it's even damaged?

I need to do more of that.listen to Chuck
