Murata Electronics
A strong alternative from the same series with better current/DCR, but lower inductance.
Find and compare replacements for the Murata LQG15HS1N8B02D, a 1.8nH high-frequency multilayer inductor in a 0402 package. This analysis covers parametric alternatives and potential risks.
Inductance values of candidates differ by 15-25%, which can detune RF circuits. One candidate has a severe current rating downgrade.
All viable candidates match the 0402 package, ensuring form and fit compatibility.
No direct drop-in replacement was found. All candidates have parametric differences in inductance or current rating that require engineering review.
LQG15HS1N5B02D from the same Murata series is the closest option, offering better current and DCR, but requires verifying tolerance for its 1.5nH inductance.
The primary risk is mismatch in inductance, which is critical for RF tuning. A secondary risk is insufficient current rating in some alternatives.
