An electrical upgrade with higher current ratings and lower DCR, but in a larger package requiring a new layout.
FXL1040-4R7-M is a 4.7µH power inductor in a 1040 package size. When searching for replacements, key parameters are inductance, saturation current (Isat >= 15A), and the 11.5x10mm footprint.
Some alternatives are in a different package.
Inductance value may differ, requiring circuit analysis.
No direct drop-in replacement was found. Alternatives require either a PCB layout change or careful re-evaluation of circuit performance due to different inductance.
Consider parts in the same 1040 package with 4.7µH inductance and Isat >= 15A. FXL1040-3R3-M is a potential option if lower inductance is acceptable.
The main risks are package mismatch, requiring a new PCB layout, or inductance changes, affecting DC-DC converter stability and ripple current.

| Feature / factor | FXL1040-4R7-M | FXL1360-4R7-M | FXL1040-3R3-M | Alt 3 | Compatibility / risk |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Package | 11.5mm x 10mm | 13.45mm x 12.6mm | - | 11.5mm x 10mm — Package size matches. | |
| Inductance | 4.7µH | 4.7µH | - | 3.3µH — Lower inductance will affect ripple current and loop stability. | |
| Saturation Current A | 15A | 24A | - | 16A — Slightly higher saturation current. | |
| Current A | 7.5A | 12A | - | 9.5A — Higher RMS current rating. | |
| Dcr Ohm | 20mΩ | 9mΩ | - | 11.8mΩ — Lower DCR improves efficiency. |
FXL1360-4R7-M offers superior electrical performance but requires a board redesign due to its larger package. FXL1040-3R3-M fits the same footprint but has lower inductance, requiring circuit analysis.
