I have no experience in this field and hope that you can help me find the parts I need.

I am working on a sewing machine from the late 70s and need to replace two inductors and a capacitor. I have been told (by sewing machine technicians online) that I need “5 microhenry 1 amp covered coil. or you could buy one with the coil exposed and put a piece of shrink wrap tubing over the coil to protect it”. Either works for me as I have the shrink wrap tubing at home.

As for the capacitor it says PME 271M on the front, 0,1 uF on the side and fo=3,6 MHz on the back.

Can you please direct me to the appropriate parts? Or parts that will fit in size and work?When I try to search I get a bunch of categories to choose from and I don’t even know where to start…

Hello,  
Welcome to the DigiKey TechForum. It may be a bit of a challenge to find proper fitting parts for something from the 70’s but we have these [inductors](https://www.digikey.com/en/products/filter/fixed-inductors/71?s=N4IgjCBcpgnAHLKoDGUBmBDANgZwKYA0IA9lANogAMIAugL7EBMV8A7MiGpFnkaRRABWAAQBWgBJ1iABwAuUEAFUAdgEs5AeXQBZfJlwBXAE74QjEC3jxO3XgWJlIlMADoALCICCIYm4Bs3r7grv6iPsyuYOHBTB5BkYERlq6wQbSyCpDK6lq6%2Bkam5sQAtEy2UHLGhvxOlEJ0FiVI0FyV1bWCEAwW5c4gAJIAcgAiSgDCACqaAEqNQA) you can take a look at. Here’s a list of [capacitors](https://www.digikey.com/en/products/filter/film-capacitors/62?s=N4IgjCBcoEwAwBYCcVQGMoDMCGAbAzgKYA0IA9lANohwB0YABAK0BiIAuqQA4AuUIAVQB2ASx4B5TAFlC2fAFcAToRABfUgFoYqEBkg9F8kuSogArB3UgNKaLqgGjpCpGoR2qq9tcgAClIBRBhgAdjApBgBhAEFfaMiASQAVcQAlSyA) that may work for you. These parts match or exceed the specifications you listed but you will need to verify if you can get them to fit.
