Brand producing the female battery socket for the MacBook Air A1466 (2013) ?

Hi,

I'm looking for the brand that produces the battery female socket with pins (=male connector) for the MacBook Air A1466 (mid-2013).

We see it on this photos with the number "39MJB".

However, browsing the web for "39MJB", I could not find anything.

The connector is has 9 pins on single row.
External dimensions are : 14.8 mm x 3.9 mm x 6.6 mm.

The male socket connected to the battery (female connectors) has the following dimensions 14.2 mm x 1.8 mm x 4.3 mm.

From the first to the last pin are 12 mm, so 1,33 mm spacing.

The pins are very thin, about 0,3 mm wide.

I'm in Switzerland, but importing the socket from Europe or another continent would not be an issue if I cannot find the component in my country.

Thanks a lot for any help.

Try an Apple Store. Surely there are some in Switzerland? Sure there is one in Zurich.

Hi,

Sure there are stores here, but I doubt an Apple Store would accept seeling me such small component, especially if I it's for a repair not covered by the warranty and if I want to do the repair myself.

The number printed in black on the socket seem just being some serial number, as all are different for the same model of socket.
I observed that some models of the MacBook Pro A1278 use the same socket.

Would some logic board repairer here have such socket to sell and a rework station to unsolder it with the L shaped fasteners ?

Thanks.
