The U2 IC 1610A3 is the chip that manages the USB charging port on the motherboard of the iPhone 6, 6 Plus, 6S and 6S Plus. If the iPhone does not charge, charges intermittently or does not recognise the cable, this is the first component to check before replacing the connector or the battery.
Main features
- Component code: U2 IC 1610A3.
- Type: USB charging IC, brand new.
- Installation: solder to the motherboard.
- Intended use: professional, for repair shops.
The component controls charging and the recognition of accessories connected to the Lightning port. When it is damaged (for example by an unsuitable charger or liquid contact) the charging circuit stops working at motherboard level.
It is meant for technicians with micro-soldering experience who replace the chip directly on the motherboard instead of swapping the whole board.
