    Anyone know what this is?

    Pulled this out of a 20 year old Dell keyboard that gave up the ghost ... is this an inductor?

    it's a 6Mhz ceramic resonator with internal capacitors
    the center pin is ground and the outer are the main pair.

    and it's a USB keyboard most likely because 6Mhz is a derivative of the clock frequency of USB

      So it's basically a crystal with caps already installed? Whats up with the MG ... I think if it would have said Mhz it would have been a dead giveaway .... and yes, it was a USB keyboard.

        MG is some manufacturer code, they usually just have the frequency on them.

          MG seems to be a frequency range 2~8 MHz; MT 6.01~13MHz; MX 13.01~50MHz

            Corsair CX750M [Model 75-002019] - burned output toroid inductor
            by momaka
            Looks like I may need a little help from the PSU experts (or anyone really! ) I have a Corsair CX750M (Model 75-002019) that I picked up for free about 4 years ago. This is the PSU:



            So here’s what’s strange about this one: it appears to work normally (normal output voltages) and any PC is stable with it. However, after a while (typically 10-20 minutes, but time can vary depending on the load), there is a sweetish smell of burned magnet wire insulation emanating from the PSU. Upon opening the PSU after this happened (many times), I was able to confirm...

            Lenovo S145 -15iwl vcore inductor warm.. looking with oscilloscope there is a spike.
            by Bartoloni
            Hi, i have a Lenovo S145 that after 20 seconds shutdown and restart (it's working correctly on thse 20 seconds)
            everything seems ok, but on Vcore inductor ( this is an i3 with just 1 switching power supply for CPU)

            there is an output to teh CPU with a spike.. seems that inductor can't handle the input...
            replaced the capacitor (330) and the inductor (R15) without any change
            any idea? very thank you!

            input of the inductor seems as usual... only strange thing is that the upper/lower voltages seems to be 21V (main power line is 19.3) ... but not sure this...

            How to read inductor specs?
            by badcap111
            I have a broken samsung galaxy s10 with missing inductor. I want to replace the missing inductor and I have found some vendors. But I don't understand how to read the specifications of the inductor. The specs are:

            INDUCTOR-SMD;470NH,20%,2520,T0.8,0.029OH

            I understand that the inductor is 470 nH with 20% margin, and the size is 2520 or 1008 (imperial measure), but what do T0.8,0.0290OH mean? I can't find any explanation on the web.

            Blown Inductor on WD My Passport
            by silver60618
            Hi Guys, my WD My Passport drive powers on, then powers off. Ive taken out the motherboard and identified a blown Inductor. Im trying to recover my data only

            Reading between leads show nothing. If I removed this Inductor, what would be a suitable replacement? am I correct that its a ferrite Inductor is to just filter noise?
            Ive seen people just bridge them, any harm in replacing it with a differnt value Inductor?

            Lastly am I correct in thinking there is no polarity on the smd component?

            Thanks!...

            Norcold DE-0061 AC/DC power supply inductor?
            by repair-it

            I am trying to determine what this inductor is. It was already removed from the board when it was brought in for repair, my guess to prevent the AC part of the circuit from operating, The main cap is also blown. There is a second identical inductor on the board in mint condition. Not sure why this one failed but would like to replace it but not sure where to find....
