Needs validationmedium risk
Electrical upgrade with much higher current ratings and similar DCR, but in a larger package.
Best Alternatives to CY75-22UH
Finding a replacement for the CY75-22UH, a 22µH power inductor in a 7.8x7.0mm package, requires careful consideration of functional alternatives as no direct drop-in replacements are readily available. Key parameters to check are package size, DCR, and current ratings.
AI replacement insight
Package riskhigh
No candidates match the 7.8x7.0mm footprint. PCB redesign is mandatory.
Electrical riskmedium
Many candidates have higher DCR, increasing power loss. The target's saturation current is unknown, making peak current handling a risk.
Sourcing risklow
Multiple functional alternates from different manufacturers are available.
Can it be replaced directly?
No direct drop-in or pin-compatible replacements were found. All reviewed candidates have different package footprints, requiring a PCB redesign.
Best replacement path
Use a functional alternate like PSPMAA1040H-220M-ANP for an electrical upgrade, but this requires a PCB layout change for its larger package.
Main risk
The primary risk is physical incompatibility. All potential substitutes have different package sizes and require a board layout change.
