Name that component: 6x6mm, marked "100", meausres <0.2 ohm
« on: November 14, 2022, 02:26:08 am »
Not exactly a repair question, but could have been; if this belongs in a different forum, please advise.

From a defunct Wi-Fi router I salvaged a number of surface-mount parts, each rather large (maybe 6 or 7 mm square), gray ceramic, labeled "100".  I thought they might be power resistors, but they measure less than 0.2 ohm.  I haven't checked inductance.  Are they inductors?  The SM equivalent of ferrite beads?  Or what?

Probably 10uH inductors (10 x 10^0). If they connect to an output pin on an adjacent IC, then they are probably part of a switchmode converter.

A picture is worth a thousand words.

Can't understand why people keep doing this.
Make it a question, not a puzzle.

That's coil. Probably 10uH.

Thanks.  The large size does suggest an inductor.

I guess you're seeking a short?
Often it'll be one of those ceramic capacitors, but there're hundreds, so better inject some current and find the one heating up.
