Strong functional match with identical inductance and Isat, but requires footprint verification due to minor package differences.
Finding a substitute for the FXL1360-220-M 22µH power inductor involves matching its electrical performance and physical footprint. This guide reviews several alternatives, highlighting key parametric and package differences to aid in your selection.
Many candidates are not SMD or have different footprints. Even the best options require footprint verification.
Some options have lower saturation current or different inductance, which can impact circuit stability and performance.
Multiple manufacturers produce inductors in this class, offering several sourcing options.
No confirmed direct, pin-to-pin replacement has been identified. APH1265T220M is a strong candidate for a form-fit-function replacement, pending verification of its PCB footprint and pinout.
APH1265T220M is the most promising alternative, offering similar or better electrical performance. However, its package dimensions differ slightly (13.45x12.8mm vs 13.45x12.6mm), requiring mandatory footprint verification from the datasheet before procurement.
The primary risk is physical incompatibility. Several candidates have different packages (through-hole) or slightly different SMD footprints. Electrical risks include lower saturation current or higher DCR in some alternatives.

| Feature / factor | FXL1360-220-M | APH1265T220M | FXL1360-180-M | Alt 3 | Compatibility / risk |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Package | SMD, 13.45mm x 12.6mm | SMD, 13.45x12.8mm | SMD, 13.45mm x 12.6mm | SMD, 13.45x12.8mm / SMD, 13.45mm x 12.6mm — Very similar dimensions, but requires footprint verification.; FXL1360-180-M: Package matches target. | |
| Inductance H | 22µH | 22µH | 18µH | 22µH / 18µH — Inductance matches target.; FXL1360-180-M: Lower inductance will alter circuit behavior. | |
| Saturation Current A | 7.5A | 7.5A | 6.4A | 7.5A / 6.4A — Saturation current matches target.; FXL1360-180-M: Lower saturation current reduces peak current handling. | |
| Current A | 4.15A | 6.8A | - | 6.8A — Higher RMS current rating provides more thermal margin. | |
| Dcr Ohm | 39.5mΩ | 44mΩ | 35mΩ | 44mΩ / 35mΩ — Slightly higher DCR may increase losses.; FXL1360-180-M: Lower DCR reduces conduction losses. |
The best alternative identified is APH1265T220M. It matches the 22µH inductance and 7.5A saturation current, with a higher 6.8A RMS current rating. However, you must verify its PCB footprint (13.45x12.8mm) against your board layout.
