A functional alternative with the same inductance but much higher current ratings in a larger package.
FXL0530-6R8-M is a 6.8µH power inductor in a 5.4x5.2mm package. While no direct drop-in replacements were found, several functional alternatives with different packages exist.
All electrically suitable alternatives have a different, larger footprint requiring a board redesign.
Functional alternatives offer superior current handling and lower DCR, which is generally safe.
No, there are no confirmed direct, pin-compatible replacements for FXL0530-6R8-M in this list. Other parts in the same package size have different inductance values.
No direct drop-in replacement found. The best path is to consider functional alternatives like FXL0630-6R8-M, which offer better electrical performance but require a PCB layout change due to a larger package.
The primary risk is package incompatibility. All viable electrical alternatives require a different PCB footprint.

| Feature / factor | FXL0530-6R8-M | FXL0630-6R8-M | FXL1040-6R8-M | Alt 3 | Compatibility / risk |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Package | 5.4mm x 5.2mm | 7.0mm x 6.6mm | - | 11.5mm x 10mm — Candidate is significantly larger and requires PCB redesign. | |
| Inductance H | 6.8µH | 6.8µH | - | 6.8µH — Inductance value matches. | |
| Saturation Current A | 2.88A | 15.0A | - | 12.0A — Candidate has much higher saturation current. | |
| Current A | 2.9A | 14.5A | - | 7.0A — Candidate has much higher heating current. | |
| Dcr Ohm | 90mΩ | 5.3mΩ | - | 25mΩ — Candidate has lower DCR, improving efficiency. |
FXL0630-6R8-M is a strong functional alternative with superior current ratings, but it has a larger package (7.0x6.6mm) and requires a new PCB layout.
