Broken current sensor

Managed to break the current sensor while swapping the board on my small rear drive unit.

Can anyone help me with a replacement current sensor?

Thanks in advance.

I remember Damien found the part number. It is actually just the hall sensor you need to swap, the magnetic core can stay in. I guess you can start to remove the sensor from the core and wait for Damien to post the part number. I can't find it right now even though it should be on the forum somewhere.

The 7.3mV/mT version.

I closed the support thread because, as we just witnessed, its hard to find info there even for the forum founder ;)

The same thing happened tome a few hours ago. Great to see this information :)
Mr Stinny, did you succeed to change the sensor?

There seems to be two hall sensors, are both needed anyway?
