Is there a pin-compatible replacement for CYH125-68UH?

CYH125-100UH shares the same 12.5x12.5mm package and is likely pin-compatible. However, its electrical characteristics, including a lower current rating of 2.5A (vs. 3.0A), differ and must be verified for your application.

What risks should I check before replacing CYH125-68UH?

Key risks include: 1) Electrical stress from lower current ratings. 2) Circuit performance changes (e.g., ripple, stability) due to different inductance values. 3) Thermal issues from higher DCR. 4) Mechanical fit if the package size is not identical.

AI replacement insight

Electrical riskhigh

Candidates have different inductance and/or lower current ratings.

Package risklow

Candidates have identical or very similar footprints.

Can it be replaced directly?

No direct, drop-in replacement for the CYH125-68UH was identified. All candidates require engineering validation due to differences in key electrical parameters like inductance or current rating.

Best replacement path

Review MS127-330MT for its matching current/DCR, or CYH125-100UH for its matching package from the same family.

Main risk

The primary risk is functional failure or damage due to mismatched inductance or a lower current rating in the replacement part.

Recommended alternatives

Same package and family, but lower current rating, higher DCR, and different inductance. Engineering review is essential.
