Replacement for L1 on SE Logic Board?

Posted by: 68krazy on 2021-07-31 13:57:47 Hey everyone, I accidentally broke L1 on an SE logic board. I'd like to order a replacement from Digikey — does anyone know what the part is, and what the value is? It kind of looks like a resistor, but something tells me it's not a resistor.

Posted by: cheesestraws on 2021-07-31 13:59:47 L usually means an inductor. What does it look like / what markings are on it?

Posted by: cheesestraws on 2021-07-31 14:19:39 Yeah, that's an inductor. 'Called L something, looks a bit like a resistor but green' -> inductor. The colour code is the same as for resistors, but the default units are µH (microhenries). See: https://www.rfcafe.com/references/electrical/inductor-color-codes.htm
