A functional alternative with higher current ratings but a much larger package requiring a new PCB layout.
Searching for a replacement for the CY54-3.3UH power inductor? While no direct drop-in substitutes were found, we've analyzed several functional alternatives that may work for new designs or with board modifications.
No candidates match the 5.8x5.2mm SMD footprint; a board redesign is mandatory.
Functional alternatives offer superior current and DCR, but temperature range may be narrower.
No direct, drop-in replacement for CY54-3.3UH was found. All reviewed alternatives with comparable or better electrical specifications have different, larger packages or mounting styles.
Board redesign required
Package incompatibility is the primary risk, preventing a direct swap on existing PCBs.

| Feature / factor | CY54-3.3UH | MWSA1004S-3R3MT | PSPMAA1040H-3R3M-ANP | Alt 3 | Compatibility / risk |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Package | 5.8 mm x 5.2 mm | 10.0mm x 11.5mm | 10.2mm x 11.0mm | 10.0mm x 11.5mm / 10.2mm x 11.0mm — Not a drop-in replacement; requires board redesign.; PSPMAA1040H-3R3M-ANP: Not a drop-in replacement; requires board redesign. | |
| Current | 3.7A | 7.96A | 10.0A | 7.96A / 10.0A — Candidate has significantly higher current handling.; PSPMAA1040H-3R3M-ANP: Candidate has significantly higher current handling. | |
| Dcr | 31.2mΩ | 16.0mΩ | 12.0mΩ | 16.0mΩ / 12.0mΩ — Lower DCR results in less power loss.; PSPMAA1040H-3R3M-ANP: Lower DCR results in less power loss. | |
| Temperature | -55°C to 125°C | -40°C to 125°C | -40°C to 125°C | -40°C to 125°C — Narrower operating range on the low end.; PSPMAA1040H-3R3M-ANP: Narrower operating range on the low end. |
No direct drop-in replacement was found. The best alternatives, like PSPMAA1040H-3R3M-ANP, are electrically superior but require a board redesign due to a much larger package.
