Is there a pin-compatible replacement for CMP201209XD6R8KT?

Yes, parts like Sunlord's MPH201214S6R8MT and TDK's MLZ2012M6R8WT000 share the same 2-pin 0805 package. However, they are not electrically identical. Differences in current rating and tolerance mean they are not drop-in replacements and require careful validation.

What risks should I check before replacing CMP201209XD6R8KT?

Key risks include: 1) Inductor Saturation: Ensure the replacement's saturation current (Isat) is sufficient for your circuit's peak current. 2) Tolerance: The target has ±10% tolerance; many alternatives are ±20%, which may affect circuit performance. 3) DC Resistance (DCR): A higher DCR will reduce efficiency and increase heat.

CMP201209XD6R8KT Alternatives, Datasheet & Cross Reference | Guangdong Fenghua Advanced Technology Holding Co., Ltd.

CMP201209XD6R8KT is a 6.8µH power inductor in a 2012 (0805) package. Alternatives exist with the same footprint, but require careful review of current ratings and tolerance before substitution.

AI replacement insight

Electrical riskmedium

Candidates have lower saturation current and/or wider tolerance.

Package risklow

Form-fit compatible candidates in the same 0805 package are available.

Can it be replaced directly?

No direct drop-in replacement has been verified. The closest form-fit alternative, MPH201214S6R8MT, has slightly weaker current and tolerance specifications that must be validated for the application.

Best replacement path

Sunlord's MPH201214S6R8MT offers the same 0805 package and similar electricals, but its slightly lower saturation current and wider tolerance must be validated.

Main risk

The primary risk is inductor saturation, as the closest alternatives have slightly lower saturation current ratings than the target's 250mA rated current.

Recommended alternatives

A form-fit alternative with slightly lower saturation current and wider tolerance.
