Thanks. I did replaced it. But can I put hot glue on it to prevent this from happening again? Or just tape it? Will it affect its function?The component is an inductor. It consists of a coil of wire wound around a ferrite core. The circuit design calls for a certain amount of inductance.
The ferrite core is broken. You need to replace the whole inductor if you want to have the correct inductance as the original.
Hot glue will be fine so long as the component stays cool.Thanks. I did replaced it. But can I put hot glue on it to prevent this from happening again? Or just tape it? Will it affect its function?
Okay, thanks a lot.Hot glue will be fine so long as the component stays cool.
Not when you get a dollop of it on your finger.Hot melt glue is the maker's friend.
