Which logic boards are compatible with Early 2015 13'' MacBook Air?

I broke the I/O board power cable socket on logic board while trying to clean my computer. AFAICT there is no way that I can somehow solder the socket back onto the logic board to make it work again (please tell me if there is a way to do this and guide me to a resource demonstrating doing this). Hence, I need a replacement logic board.

To do so, I’m planning to buy a “junk” MacBook (broken screen, etc.) for cheap, take out the logic board and replace my logic board with it.

My question is, which models’ logic boards are compatible with an Early 2015 13'' MacBook Air logic board? Is there a resource (website, etc.) that I can get information about this?

Technically you need to stick within the series for proper operation.

As it turns out Apple stuck with the same layout within the MacBook Air's more so than the MacBook Pro! The display, keyboard & trackpad are compatible across the series from Early 2015 to 2017. That allows you to use even newer logic boards.

Now the down side! Costs!

The newer the logic board the more costly it is! To add to it a franicstiened system won’t get you the improved systems value back.

Thank you Dan! So in short, I can use the logic board from any 13 MacBook Air that's 2015 or 2017 model (AFAICT there is no 2016 model). But I cannot use the logic board from a 11 2015 or 2017 MacBook Air.

True! There is no 2016 model and True you can't use the 11" logic board. As to semantics 'to' 'or' to is the proper way of listing as 'or' in not inclusive.
