What's this fried electrical component in my surface grinder?
Recently I received a new surface grinder to add to the collection. One of the freight handlers unfortunately ripped the wires from a plug (down feed motor encoder). I rewired the plug which was an absolute ba$tard. The wires were about 3 human hairs of thickness, and the earth wire was a spindly mess about the thickness of small gauge rope! Getting the plug wired took me far too long. In the process (testing) the spindly earth wire shorted out the circuit and one of the components burnt out in the circuit board. I did a bush-mans fix resoldering back in place and that worked. I would however like to replace the component.
Can someone please advise what this component is (white cylinders marked "10u 0.92A")?

The J&S (made in 1996) circuit boards are brilliant. Every IC is press mount. If one dies, simply pull it out and replace. No soldering at all. And thankfully no surface mount gear. A great setup that is designed to be "fix it yourself" friendly. Rare in a world where manufacturers like to epoxy components to force entire board repurchases..

"L" normally denotes an inductor. So I would guess they are 10uH inductors ... I'll see what else I can find.
Cheers.

Here is one I found (different package and higher rating) - http://au.element14.com/bourns-jw-mi...mhz/dp/1103703
Here is another, but it has a slightly lower rating - http://www.jaycar.com.au/Passive-Com...Choke/p/LF1522Cheers.

It's an inductor. While caps have a voltage rating, inductors have a current rating. The current rating can be seen printed on the side. L6 for example looks to be 10 micro Henry and rated to 0.92A. The one posted by Vernon from Jaycar does not have as high a current rating at only 0.5A, the second one (from element14) looks to be a good replacement.

Thanks Vernov and Simon. Inductor it is. I will hunt down the necessary replacement.

Chances are that it will burn again. It has overheated because of excessive current. You need to find out what was the cause for it to burn. It is probably driving something. Right now, can you tell which function is not working? Chris

From a quick glance at the board, I would think the 10uH inductors are for filtering high frequency noise from the encoder power supply circuits. The HP 2630's are high speed opto isolators, so if you shorted the downfeed encoder supply, and the inductor burnt out, that's pretty fair indication that it was just supply side filtering. The other possibility might be a smps for encoder supply but I don't see the switcher?

They are pretty standard encapsulated inductors ! If you look at the others you will see "RS" marked on them, I'll bet that "Radio Spares" supplied them and will have replacements on stock.

Thanks for the explanation Ray. I had no idea what it was. It melted and was hanging off the board. In the usual rush to get things running I clipped some of the covering and soldered it back in plate. No problems despite grinding a few things. I will replace it however as it's not right to leave it in that state.
PS: It has been a bit of a distraction from the Boley.. hoping to get back onto it this weekend!
I am happy for you to supply the link to the direct replacement I have not been able to find the exact same type. Some of the posters above had linked to close alternatives. Ideally I would like it to be the same as the others. Maybe not possible given it is approaching 20 years old?

Of course, you can always wind your own inductor:

It will stick out like a soar thumb though compared to the rest.

Hi,
This is the nearest that I could find ! A bit pricey though. I would think it unlikely that you would get a similar looking part. Still 10 uh is 10 uh

Watch out for the wrap ! It might just be easier to go to RS web site and search.
I have a number of 10 uh chokes, unfortunately they are not encapsulated and are rated for 10 amps. At one time I had hundreds on stock some from WW2 that were used in transmitters.Best Regards:

Here's three you could use from RS in Australia, so you should get free delivery. I forgot to see if they were in stock

Check the dimensions and see what fits best. Check the lead diameter unless you want to drill the pcb hole.
You need to register with RS and I can't remember if they need an ABN but you can get those for free online but leave it a while and just change your mind about setting up a company. I think after three years they took my abn back because I hadn't used it.
Watch out cos I noticed one was in a bag of 5 but they always price by component. When you check out nowadays its obvious if you got it wrong by the price, but in the old paper days before computers, mistakes were made! In my youth, I remember someone ordering 100 x m6 nuts, and got 100 bags of 100 nuts. Not surprisingly, they didn't all fit into the little plastic drawer for M6 nuts in the test room store.

Unless things have changed in the last year or so, you don't need an ABN to register an account with RS. I have an account with them and I didn't need a Co. name or ABN. Last thing I bought was a magnetic reed switch. It cost $7 and it was free delivery, very reasonable! It's worth setting up an account.
