Where Can I Buy good Macbook Inductors/Coils? I have broken one :(

[matheus30]

When I took it out it broke, and I want to get the same one or one of good quality.
Where can I buy it? On AliExpress they do not indicate the maximum amperages, and on Mouser or TME.EU it is impossible to search without having the exact reference.

Inductor needed:
It is the PP5V_G3S Coil of an A2159, 820-01598 (L7670)
On the front it says: 1R5

and in the schematic:

1.5UH - 20% - 12.5A - 0.017Ohm
PIMB062D-SM
152S00268

Can someone tell me where to buy it?

Thank you so much.

Some details of the original:



Still looking but you require a 7*7*2.4mm (height) inductor that can support 12.5A or more. Some good brands include Bourns and others. Even Cyntec is a good one to use here. So far, in this physical size, the peak current ratings are lower. This may be still ok since this power rail is not consuming such high currents but for a safety marging, higher the better.

I'm looking for online stores, preferably in Europe or Aliexpress, and at the moment I'm not having any luck.
Here I have a list:
https://www.digipart.com/part/PIMB062D-6R8MS
but they are very large wholesalers that I don't think they will sell me 5 or 10 units.
IF you find a better known equivalent, please tell me.

Thanks for your time

Note that the original board demands a 1R5 = 1.5uH inductance. The digipart search is with a 6R8 = 6.8uH inductance (not the proper replacement).

Found a suitable match:

HCMA0703-1R5-R Coiltronics / Eaton | Mouser Canada

I will buy the parts this week and tell you if it works, thanks for everything.

Worst case you can buy the same dead motherboard from Aliexpress, for a coil it should be ok (maybe expensive for just one coil, but components can be reused on other boards later)

Personally would suggest to just purchase the inductor. Otherwise, if you really want a donor board, you could probably source a more complete unit on Ebay and perhaps local to you. Look around for 'locked boards' or 'parts only' marked ads. Will check Aliexpress to see if there are options for this inductor. The linked board on Aliexpress is quite expensive.

10PCS 0420 0520 0530 0630 1/1.5/2.2/3.3/4.7/6.8/10/15/22uh Molding Power Choke Coil SMD Power Integrated Inductors (aliexpress.com)

0630 = 7 * 7 mm inductor. Order 1.5uH.

But confirm the peak current of the inductor before placing the order.

Be careful with this, I have seen comments that the board has arrived EMPTY, without any components

I will buy the MOSER one, taking advantage of the fact that I buy things regularly.

A lot of Thanks! Really!
