Maybe I'm being a little paranoid, but since everything else in the instructions is SO precise, I wanted to ensure a slight part variation was intended. - L9 (4.7uH) is specified as a "micro" size -- the smaller size - in both the instruction text (page 31) and the parts inventory - The only 4.7uH inductor (brn-blk-brn) sent is actually a "mini" size - the larger size
The inductor will fit on the board, but the leads will have to be bent right at the point where the lead exits the device molding - and the text indicated these inductors are very fragile. Question: Is the mini size L9 what you are sending now with some of the kits? (rather than the smaller micro size) If so, no problem -- I'll just chunk it in there and not worry. BTW, alignment and test Part I went perfectly. I haven't had so much fun in years. Great kit, great assembly manual.
