Is there anyone who can help with a data sheet on the following component CTF1389-A since I am in search of a alternertiv component.

regards

If I remember correctly, CTF1389/CTF1389-A was Pioneer's part number for a small coil used mainly in various Pioneer audio products. I do not know the value but it is usually used in line with VCC &/or Data/reset lines to any number of processors used in the unit.--more likely as a filter and not very critical to the operation if jumpered.
 
That's right, it's a COIL / Inductor sitting in my pioneer car radio in the connection with aux input, but I'm missing a value?

Looks like audio in. The coil is on the ground lead and on the audio lines.
It will work to short out the coil. I assume you broke the coil. Just short it out with a piece of wire.

Actually video in

But as you say, just short it out - it will make no difference.
 
Actually... Your both right... The schematic has one on all three AUX pins....
 
Thanks for the many replys

My question was not how I repaired my radio.
But the value of CTF1839-A?

Ross,

Not sure why you want to know the value if the unit does not have any problem? As it has been mentioned by several posters, it is NOT a critical part.
When I used to deal with consumer electronics, I saw the specific coil used on many Pioneer audio products and the main purpose is to act as a filter without any operational effect if jumpered.
Short of taking one out and measuring the value, you can use the XL=2∏fL formula to guesstimate what the value should be; the idea is to provide a block to undesireable noise(if any) while allowing your actual signal to go through---and don't forget the current draw if you are using it with power supply line.

As it's not specified, then the only way would be to measure a good one - but as we've all pointed out there's no reason or need for it anyway.
