SHOU HAN
A functional alternative with superior current handling and lower DCR, but in a larger package.
Explore functional alternatives for the Vishay IHLP2525CZER3R3M01 inductor. While no direct drop-in replacements are available, several candidates offer superior electrical performance in larger packages, suitable for new designs or board revisions.
All candidates have larger footprints and are not drop-in compatible.
Candidates offer superior current ratings and lower DCR, but EMI should be re-verified.
No, there are no direct pin-to-pin replacements for IHLP2525CZER3R3M01 among the candidates reviewed. All alternatives have different, larger footprints.
Board redesign with a functional alternate like CYA1250-3.3UH or SMMS1770-3R3M to gain higher current ratings and efficiency.
Mechanical incompatibility is the main risk; all reviewed substitutes require a new PCB layout.

| Feature / factor | IHLP2525CZER3R3M01 | CYA1250-3.3UH | CYA1265-3.3UH | MWSA1004S-3R3MT | Compatibility / risk |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Package | 2525 (6.5x6.5mm) | 1250 (12.8x12.8mm) | 1265 (12.8x12.8mm) | 1004 (10.0x11.5mm) | 1250 (12.8x12.8mm) / 1265 (12.8x12.8mm) / 1004 (10.0x11.5mm) / 1040H (10.2x11.0mm) — Candidate is significantly larger, not a drop-in replacement.; CYA1265-3.3UH: Candidate is significantly larger, not a drop-in replacement.; MWSA1004S-3R3MT: Candidate is larger, not a drop-in replacement.; PSPMAA1040H-3R3M-ANP: Candidate is larger, not a drop-in replacement. |
| Saturation Current A | 13.5 A | 32.0 A | 45.0 A | 16.0 A | 32.0 A / 45.0 A / 16.0 A — Significant performance upgrade.; CYA1265-3.3UH: Significant performance upgrade.; MWSA1004S-3R3MT: Performance upgrade.; PSPMAA1040H-3R3M-ANP: Performance upgrade. |
| Current A | 6.0 A | 20.0 A | 25.0 A | 7.96 A | 20.0 A / 25.0 A / 7.96 A / 10.0 A — Heat rating current (Irms) is much higher.; CYA1265-3.3UH: Heat rating current (Irms) is much higher.; MWSA1004S-3R3MT: Heat rating current (Irms) is higher.; PSPMAA1040H-3R3M-ANP: Heat rating current (Irms) is higher. |
| Dcr Ohm | 30 mΩ max | 5.5 mΩ max | 6.5 mΩ max | 16 mΩ max | 5.5 mΩ max / 6.5 mΩ max / 16 mΩ max / 12.0 mΩ max — Much lower DCR improves efficiency.; CYA1265-3.3UH: Much lower DCR improves efficiency.; MWSA1004S-3R3MT: Lower DCR improves efficiency.; PSPMAA1040H-3R3M-ANP: Lower DCR improves efficiency. |
The best alternatives, such as CYA1250-3.3UH or SMMS1770-3R3M, offer significantly higher current ratings and lower DCR. However, they are not drop-in replacements and require a board redesign due to their larger packages.
