Click wheel

2nd-gen mini click wheel, Apple part 632-0303-A; seller lists A1051 4 GB and 6 GB variants.

Generation-specific part numbers differ; do not assume 1st/2nd-gen interchange. iFixit says 1st- and 2nd-gen Mini click wheels have different connector sizes and are not interchangeable; choose by generation, then color/text style.
