Murata Electronics
Pin-compatible upgrade with higher current handling (2.2A) and lower DCR (0.084Ω) in the same 1008 package.
Find and compare replacements for the Murata LQM2HPN2R2MJ0L, a 2.2µH power inductor. This guide analyzes alternatives based on package compatibility, current rating, and DC resistance.
Most candidates have different packages, requiring a PCB redesign.
Target's missing Isat and candidate shielding differences require validation.
Multiple alternative manufacturers and parts are available.
Direct replacement for LQM2HPN2R2MJ0L should use only Datasheet verified or Strong match candidates; many approved options still require engineering review.
The most direct path is DFE252012PD-2R2M=P2 due to its matching package and superior electrical specs. For redesigns, SRP4020TA-2R2M offers significantly higher performance.
The primary risk is package incompatibility for most alternatives, requiring a board respin. For form-fit options, differences in shielding or saturation current must be validated.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Package | 1008 (2520 Metric) | 1008 (2520 metric) | 2512 (2.5x2.0mm) | 4020 (4.0x4.0mm) | 1008 (2520 metric) / 2512 (2.5x2.0mm) / 4020 (4.0x4.0mm) — Same package and dimensions.; SRN2512-2R2M: Physically compatible dimensions.; SRP4020TA-2R2M: Larger package requires PCB redesign. |
| Inductance | 2.2 µH | 2.2 µH | - | 2.2 µH | 2.2 µH — Identical inductance value.; SRP4020TA-2R2M: Identical inductance value. |
| Dcr | 0.12 Ω | 0.084 Ω | 0.102 Ω | 0.061 Ω | 0.084 Ω / 0.102 Ω / 0.061 Ω — Lower DCR improves efficiency.; SRN2512-2R2M: Slightly lower DCR.; SRP4020TA-2R2M: Significantly lower DCR. |
| Current | 1.0 A | 2.2 A | 2.3 A | 4.0 A | 2.2 A / 2.3 A / 4.0 A — Higher rated current provides more margin.; SRN2512-2R2M: Higher rated current.; SRP4020TA-2R2M: Much higher rated current. |
| Saturation Current | Unknown | 2.8 A | - | - | 2.8 A — Significantly higher saturation current. |
| Shielding | Shielded (inferred) | - | Semi-shielded | - | Semi-shielded — May increase EMI vs. target's shielded design. |
Verified drop-in options for LQM2HPN2R2MJ0L 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.
