Pin-compatible upgrade with identical inductance, slightly higher current (0.85A), and lower DCR (0.05Ω).
LQG15HN2N7S02D is a 2.7nH RF inductor in a 0402 package. Several pin-compatible upgrades from Murata's LQW15 series offer higher current ratings and lower resistance, providing a clear upgrade path for most applications.
Low for direct upgrades; medium for parts with different inductance values.
All recommended alternatives share the same 0402 package.
Alternatives are from the same manufacturer and are widely available.
Yes, there are several direct, pin-compatible upgrades available from Murata that offer better performance with identical inductance.
Upgrade to a higher-spec part from the Murata LQW15 series, such as LQW15AN2N7G80D.
The primary risk involves using alternatives with slightly different inductance values (e.g., 2.5nH or 2.6nH), which could affect RF circuit tuning and require verification.
