Murata Electronics
A close alternative in the same 0402 package with identical current rating and lower DCR.
Finding a substitute for the Murata LQG15HN1N3S02D 1.3nH inductor involves matching the 0402 package, 1A current rating, and high-frequency characteristics. Several options exist with minor parametric tradeoffs.
Key parameters are close, but minor inductance shifts or different frequency response can affect sensitive RF circuits.
All viable candidates share the same 0402 package, minimizing layout and assembly risk.
Direct replacement for LQG15HN1N3S02D should use only Datasheet verified or Strong match candidates; many approved options still require engineering review.
The most direct replacement is LQG15HS1N2S02D, which has a very similar profile. For a potential performance upgrade in Q and SRF, consider LQW15AN1N5B00D, but verify its different wirewound construction is acceptable.
The primary risk is a change in circuit behavior due to slight inductance differences or, more significantly, a change in inductor construction type (multilayer vs. wirewound).

| Feature / factor | LQG15HN1N3S02D | LQG15HS1N2S02D | LQW15AN1N5B00D | Alt 3 | Compatibility / risk |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Package | 0402 (1005 metric) | 0402 (1005 metric) | - | 0402 (1005 metric) — Identical package and footprint. | |
| Inductance | 1.3 nH | 1.2 nH | 1.5 nH | 1.2 nH / 1.5 nH — Slightly lower, but within target's ±0.3nH tolerance.; LQW15AN1N5B00D: Slightly higher, but within target's ±0.3nH tolerance. | |
| Current | 1.0 A | 1.0 A | - | 1.0 A — Rated current is identical. | |
| Dcr | 0.08 Ω | 0.07 Ω | 0.03 Ω | 0.07 Ω / 0.03 Ω — Lower DCR is generally favorable.; LQW15AN1N5B00D: Significantly lower DCR. | |

| Srf | 6 GHz | - | 18 GHz | 18 GHz — Significantly higher SRF. |
Verified drop-in options for LQG15HN1N3S02D are limited in the current batch. Review candidates marked Strong match or Datasheet verified, and validate package, pinout, and electrical limits before committing a BOM change.
