Murata Electronics
Same package and inductance, but has a lower current rating and higher DCR. Requires engineering review.
Reviewing replacements for the Murata LQP03TN1N2B02D, a 1.2nH 0201 RF inductor. Key considerations for alternatives are matching the 1.2nH inductance, 0201 package, and high SRF of 17GHz.
Candidates have lower current ratings or different inductance values, which can significantly affect RF circuit tuning and power handling.
Several candidates match the 0201 package, so physical fit is not the primary concern.
All viable candidates are from the same manufacturer (Murata), which may not solve supply chain diversification goals.
No, a direct, 1-to-1 replacement for LQP03TN1N2B02D with identical or better specs was not identified. All candidates require engineering validation.
No direct drop-in found. The closest options involve trade-offs in either current rating (LQP03TG1N2B02D) or inductance (LQP03HQ1N0W02D).
The main risk is performance degradation in the RF circuit due to parametric differences in current rating, DCR, or inductance value.

| Feature / factor | LQP03TN1N2B02D | LQP03TG1N2B02D | LQP03HQ1N0W02D | Alt 3 | Compatibility / risk |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Package | 0201 (0603 metric) | 0201 (0603 metric) | 0201 (0603 Metric) | 0201 (0603 metric) / 0201 (0603 Metric) — Form factor is identical.; LQP03HQ1N0W02D: Form factor is identical. | |
| Inductance | 1.2 nH | 1.2 nH | 1.0 nH | 1.2 nH / 1.0 nH — Inductance value is identical.; LQP03HQ1N0W02D: Inductance is ~17% lower. | |
| Current | 750 mA | 600 mA | 1.1 A | 600 mA / 1.1 A — Candidate has 20% lower current rating.; LQP03HQ1N0W02D: Higher current rating is an upgrade. | |
| Dcr | 0.10 Ω | 0.15 Ω | 0.04 Ω | 0.15 Ω / 0.04 Ω — Higher DCR will increase losses.; LQP03HQ1N0W02D: Lower DCR is an upgrade. | |
| Srf | 17 GHz | 15 GHz | 20 GHz | 15 GHz / 20 GHz — Lower SRF may affect high-frequency performance.; LQP03HQ1N0W02D: Higher SRF is an upgrade. |
There is no single best alternative. LQP03TG1N2B02D matches form and inductance but has a lower current rating. LQP03HQ1N0W02D has better specs but a different inductance (1.0nH). Both require careful review.
