Cheap inductors.... will they work?

Post by magician13134 »

I found these inductors on eBay, they seem to be the same same the one needed for the mintyBoost, but I can get 50 for the price of 4 of the recommended ones... Any thoughts?


A link might help... :)

Just for those of you who are interested, the verdict is: They work. Just finished up my homemade MintyBoost, it works great!

Really! Ok, I guess that makes sense. Is there any way to predict the efficiency I'll be getting? Anything higher than the 9V regulated circuit and I'll be happy.
