Murata Electronics
A pin-compatible upgrade with higher current rating and lower DCR in the same 0402 package.
Reviewing alternatives for the Murata LQG15HS5N6S02D, a 5.6nH 0402 high-frequency inductor. Key factors for replacements are matching inductance and package, while maintaining or improving current rating, DCR, and SRF.
Low risk if inductance is matched. Performance may vary slightly with different inductor series.
All top candidates share the same 0402 package, ensuring physical compatibility.
Direct replacement for LQG15HS5N6S02D should use only Datasheet verified or Strong match candidates; many approved options still require engineering review.
Upgrade to LQW15AN5N6C10D for better performance or use LQG15HN5N6S02D for a near-identical match.
The main risk is a change in high-frequency performance (Q vs. frequency) if switching between inductor constructions (e.g., multilayer to wirewound).

| Feature / factor | LQG15HS5N6S02D | LQW15AN5N6C10D | LQG15HN5N6S02D | LQG15HS5N1S02D | Compatibility / risk |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Package | 0402 (1005 metric) | 0402 (1005 metric) | 0402 (1005 metric) | 0402 (1005 metric) | 0402 (1005 metric) — Identical package ensures form-fit compatibility.; LQG15HN5N6S02D: Identical package ensures form-fit compatibility.; LQG15HS5N1S02D: Identical package ensures form-fit compatibility. |
| Inductance H | 5.6 nH | 5.6 nH | 5.6 nH | 5.1 nH | 5.6 nH / 5.1 nH — Inductance value matches the target.; LQG15HN5N6S02D: Inductance value matches the target.; LQG15HS5N1S02D: Inductance is ~9% lower than target, may require circuit tuning. |
| Current A | 600 mA | 800 mA | 600 mA | 650 mA | 800 mA / 600 mA / 650 mA — Higher current rating provides more design margin.; LQG15HN5N6S02D: Rated current matches the target.; LQG15HS5N1S02D: Slightly higher current rating. |
| Dcr Ohm | 0.2 Ohm | 0.051 Ohm | 0.18 Ohm | 0.18 Ohm | 0.051 Ohm / 0.18 Ohm — Lower DCR reduces DC power loss.; LQG15HN5N6S02D: Slightly lower DCR is a minor improvement.; LQG15HS5N1S02D: Lower DCR is an improvement. |
| Application | Multilayer | Wirewound | - | - | Wirewound — Different construction (wirewound vs multilayer) results in higher Q and SRF. |
| Srf Hz | 4.5 GHz | - | 5.3 GHz | - | 5.3 GHz — Higher SRF provides more high-frequency margin. |
Verified drop-in options for LQG15HS5N6S02D 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.
