LanTu Micro
A functional alternative with superior current ratings and lower resistance, but in a different, smaller SMD package.
Find and compare alternatives for the FXL1360-680-M, a 68µH power inductor. Review functional and parametric alternatives, paying close attention to package and inductance differences.
Most candidates have different inductance values, which can affect circuit stability and performance.
Many alternatives have different footprints or mounting styles, requiring PCB redesign.
No direct, drop-in replacement for FXL1360-680-M has been identified in this review.
For physical compatibility, evaluate FXL1365-470-M, but you must validate the impact of its lower 47µH inductance on your circuit.
The primary risks are either a physical package mismatch or a significant change in the core inductance value.

| Feature / factor | FXL1360-680-M | FXL1365-470-M | SMS0650-680MT | Alt 3 | Compatibility / risk |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Package | 13.45 mm x 12.6 mm | 13.45 mm x 12.6 mm | 7.1 x 6.6 x 5.0 mm | 13.45 mm x 12.6 mm / 7.1 x 6.6 x 5.0 mm — Package dimensions match, likely a drop-in fit.; SMS0650-680MT: Candidate package is significantly smaller, requires PCB redesign. | |
| Inductance | 68 µH | 47 µH | 68 µH | 47 µH / 68 µH — Inductance is ~30% lower, requires circuit re-evaluation.; SMS0650-680MT: Inductance matches target value. | |
| Saturation Current A | 4.5 A | 6.8 A | 7.3 A | 6.8 A / 7.3 A — Higher saturation current provides more headroom.; SMS0650-680MT: Higher saturation current provides more headroom. | |
| Current A | 2.5 A | 4.5 A | 5.5 A | 4.5 A / 5.5 A — Higher RMS current rating allows for higher power.; SMS0650-680MT: Higher RMS current rating allows for higher power. | |
| Dcr Ohm | 140 mΩ | 70 mΩ | 36.5 mΩ | 70 mΩ / 36.5 mΩ — Lower DCR improves efficiency.; SMS0650-680MT: Lower DCR improves efficiency. |
There are no direct drop-in replacements found. FXL1365-470-M shares the same package but has lower inductance (47µH), requiring circuit analysis. Other options have different packages.
