Is there a pin-compatible replacement for FXL1360-180-M?

Yes, parts like FXL1360-150-M and FXL1350-150-M share the same 2-pin SMD package (13.45mm x 12.6mm). However, their electrical parameters, especially inductance, differ and must be verified for your application.

What risks should I check before replacing FXL1360-180-M?

The main risk is inductance mismatch, which can affect switching frequency, ripple, and stability in DC-DC converters. Also, check RMS current (Irms) and saturation current (Isat) to ensure they meet or exceed the original part's ratings.

Finding a substitute for the FXL1360-180-M 18µH power inductor involves balancing inductance with current ratings. Alternatives exist that offer higher performance in the same package, but require careful review of the different inductance value.

AI replacement insight

Electrical riskmedium

Inductance changes require circuit analysis for stability and performance.

Package risklow

Viable candidates share the same package footprint.

Can it be replaced directly?

No direct drop-in replacement with identical 18µH inductance and equal or better ratings was found. All candidates require parametric review.

Best replacement path

Consider FXL1350-150-M for a performance upgrade if 15µH inductance is acceptable in your design.

Main risk

Inductance deviation from the target 18µH is the primary risk across all viable alternatives and can impact circuit performance.

Recommended alternatives

Same series part with better current ratings and lower DCR, but a lower inductance of 15µH that must be reviewed.
