Murata Electronics
A strong 0603 alternative with higher current rating and lower DCR.
CMP160808JE100MT is a 10µH, 60mA power inductor in a 0603 package. When seeking alternatives, focus on matching the 0603 footprint and ensuring the current rating and DCR are equivalent or better.
For upgraded parts, risk is low. Always verify saturation current in your specific circuit.
High for functional alternates with different footprints; requires board redesign.
Check stock and lifecycle of the chosen alternative. Murata is a major manufacturer.
Direct replacement for CMP160808JE100MT should use only Datasheet verified or Strong match candidates; many approved options still require engineering review.
Evaluate LQM18DN100M70L, which matches the package and improves key electricals. If a board redesign is possible, functional alternates offer higher performance.
The main risk is ensuring the replacement's current handling (especially saturation current) meets peak demands, as this is often application-specific.

| Feature / factor | CMP160808JE100MT | LQM18DN100M70L | WPN201610H100MT | Alt 3 | Compatibility / risk |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Package | 0603 | 0603 (1608 Metric) | 0806 Metric | 0603 (1608 Metric) / 0806 Metric — Matches target package.; WPN201610H100MT: Larger package requires layout change. | |
| Inductance | 10 µH | 10 µH | 10 µH | 10 µH — Matches target inductance.; WPN201610H100MT: Matches target inductance. | |
| Current | 60 mA | 100 mA | 800 mA | 100 mA / 800 mA — Higher current rating is an upgrade.; WPN201610H100MT: Significantly higher current rating. | |
| Dcr | 1.15 Ω | 1.05 Ω | 0.688 Ω | 1.05 Ω / 0.688 Ω — Lower DCR improves efficiency.; WPN201610H100MT: Lower DCR improves efficiency. | |
| Srf | 17 MHz | 32 MHz | - | 32 MHz — Higher SRF provides wider operating frequency range. |
Verified drop-in options for CMP160808JE100MT are limited in the current batch. Review candidates marked Strong match or Datasheet verified, and validate package, pinout, and electrical limits before committing a BOM change.
