Parametric alternative with lower inductance (1.5nH) but higher current rating (1.0A) and lower DCR.
Finding a substitute for the Murata LQG15HS1N8S02D 1.8nH inductor requires careful matching of inductance, current rating, and DCR in the 0402 package.
Current rating and inductance mismatches are common and critical.
The 0402 package is standardized, making physical fit likely.
No direct drop-in replacement was found. All viable candidates have significant parametric differences requiring engineering review.
Consider LQG15HS1N5S02D if a lower inductance (1.5nH) is acceptable, or search for parts matching 1.8nH with >=950mA current.
The primary risk is using a substitute with a lower current rating, which can lead to component failure. Inductance changes will affect circuit tuning.

| Feature / factor | LQG15HS1N8S02D | LQG15HS1N5S02D | L04021R8BHNTR | Alt 3 | Compatibility / risk |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Inductance | 1.8 nH | 1.5 nH | - | 1.8 nH — Inductance value matches. | |
| Current | 0.95 A | 1.0 A | - | 400 mA — Current rating is less than half of target. | |
| Dcr | 0.08 Ω | 0.07 Ω | - | Not found — DCR is a key parameter and is missing. | |
| Package | 0402 (1005 metric) | 0402 (1005 metric) | - | 0402 (1005 metric) — Package size matches. | |
| Q Factor | 8 | - | 18 | 18 — Higher Q factor is generally better. |
LQG15HS1N5S02D is a potential alternative if a lower inductance of 1.5nH is acceptable in your circuit; it offers a slightly higher current rating.
