Help identify Tantalum Polymer Capacitor on a2337

Block Image

I am doing a MacBook air A2337 repair and the NEz CN7 cap is bad and needs to be replaced.

Would like to buy the NEz CN7 and NEy JE8 just in case. I cannot find where to buy these caps alone or even how to look them up. Could someone explain to me how identify then look it up on digikey to buy it. If possible could you leave a digikey link as well so I know what it is for a fact.

Location on Board c5895

Thank you so much for the help!

These tantalum caps are notorious for going bad on most generations of MacBook. The capacitor in question is C5800 and is a 33uF 16V in a T Case.

These ones at Mouser look to fit the bill, but you can probably also harvest them off other MacBook boards. Apple seems to love this style of Tantalum cap.

I will also mention, this will probably work just fine without the faulty cap, at least in the short term. If you can replace it safely and easily (which you should be able to in this case), absolutely do so. But it is likely worth it to test that it functions properly without the new capacitor on first so you know that's the extent of the problem before potentially introducing new factors when installing the new one.

I didn't see the other cap mentioned until I reread, but C5895 is a bit different, that's the one in the upper right that you circled in the post. That one is 150uF 6.3V in a B1S-1 case. These ones are a little funkier. But same theory applies. Can harvest off other boards if need be.

@caboose547 Fixed the link, probably got mangled in a hasty copy paste job. Hopefully it helps!

Thank you! I still need help to understand how to search it up on my own for future events as without your link I wouldn't know how to get there.
