Murata Electronics
A form-fit compatible inductor with higher current rating but lower inductance (8.2nH) that requires engineering review.
Finding a substitute for the Murata LQW15AN10NG80D 10nH inductor requires careful review of electrical parameters. While form-fit matches exist, key differences in current rating and inductance are common.
Many alternatives have much lower current ratings.
The 0402 package is standard and widely available.
High-current 0402 inductors can have specific supply chains.
No direct drop-in replacement has been identified. All candidates require engineering review due to parametric differences.
Use a part from the same Murata LQW15AN...G80 (high current) series, like LQW15AN8N2G80D, if a lower inductance of 8.2nH is acceptable.
The primary risk is substituting with a part that has a significantly lower current rating, which can lead to component failure.

| Feature / factor | LQW15AN10NG80D | LQW15AN8N2G80D | LQW15AN9N5G00D | Alt 3 | Compatibility / risk |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Package | 0402 (1005 metric) | 0402 (1005 metric) | 0402 (1005 Metric) | 0402 (1005 metric) / 0402 (1005 Metric) — Same package and pin count.; LQW15AN9N5G00D: Same package and pin count. | |
| Inductance | 10 nH | 8.2 nH | 9.5 nH | 8.2 nH / 9.5 nH — Inductance is ~18% lower, requires circuit validation.; LQW15AN9N5G00D: Inductance is very close (-5%). | |
| Current | 1.4 A | 1.5 A | 0.54 A | 1.5 A / 0.54 A — Higher current rating provides more margin.; LQW15AN9N5G00D: Current rating is severely reduced by over 60%. | |
| Dcr | 0.081 Ω | 0.069 Ω | 0.14 Ω | 0.069 Ω / 0.14 Ω — Lower DCR improves efficiency.; LQW15AN9N5G00D: DCR is significantly higher, increasing losses. | |
| Srf | 6.0 GHz | 6.5 GHz | - | 6.5 GHz — Higher SRF is generally better. |
LQW15AN8N2G80D is a strong candidate if your design tolerates 8.2nH inductance; it offers better current handling and lower DCR in the same package.
