Murata Electronics
Strong pin-compatible candidate with matching package, inductance, and slightly better current and DCR ratings.
Find alternatives for the Murata LQG15HN8N2J02D 8.2nH inductor. Top candidates include the pin-compatible LQG15HS8N2J02D and the high-performance LQW15AN8N2G80D upgrade.
Key parameters are matched or improved.
Package and pinout are identical.
Direct replacement for LQG15HN8N2J02D should use only Datasheet verified or Strong match candidates; many approved options still require engineering review.
Direct replacement with LQG15HS8N2J02D for minimal design changes.
The main risk is a minor change in high-frequency performance (Q vs. frequency curve) due to the part being from a different series.

| Feature / factor | LQG15HN8N2J02D | LQG15HS8N2J02D | LQW15AN8N2G80D | Alt 3 | Compatibility / risk |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Package | 0402 (1005 metric) | 0402 (1005 metric) | 0402 (1005 metric) | 0402 (1005 metric) — Same package and pin count.; LQW15AN8N2G80D: Same package and pin count. | |
| Inductance | 8.2 nH, ±5% | 8.2 nH, ±5% | 8.2 nH, ±2% | 8.2 nH, ±5% / 8.2 nH, ±2% — Identical inductance and tolerance.; LQW15AN8N2G80D: Inductance matches, tolerance is tighter. | |
| Current | 0.5 A | 0.55 A | 1.5 A | 0.55 A / 1.5 A — Slightly higher current rating.; LQW15AN8N2G80D: Significantly higher current rating. | |
| Dcr | 0.25 Ω | 0.24 Ω | 0.069 Ω | 0.24 Ω / 0.069 Ω — Slightly lower DC resistance.; LQW15AN8N2G80D: Significantly lower DC resistance improves efficiency. | |
| Series | LQG15HN | LQG15HS | - | LQG15HS — Same construction type, different series. | |
| Construction | Multilayer Film | - | Wirewound | Wirewound — Different construction may alter frequency response. |
Verified drop-in options for LQG15HN8N2J02D 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.
