Is there a pin-compatible replacement for LQW15AN11NG00D?

Yes, several pin-compatible replacements in the same 0402 package exist, such as LQW15AN10NG80D and LQW15AN12NG80D. While they are physically compatible, their electrical parameters like inductance differ slightly, so they are not direct drop-in replacements without engineering review.

What risks should I check before replacing LQW15AN11NG00D?

Before replacing, you must verify your circuit's tolerance to a change in inductance (from 11nH to 10nH or 12nH). For RF or filter applications, this change could affect performance. Also, check if a change in tolerance (e.g., from ±2% to ±5%) is acceptable if considering weaker alternatives.

LQW15AN11NG00D Alternatives, Datasheet & Cross Reference | Murata Manufacturing Co., Ltd.

LQW15AN11NG00D is a 11nH, ±2% high-frequency inductor in a 0402 package. While no exact replacement is available, several strong functional alternatives from Murata offer upgraded current and DCR ratings with a slight variance in inductance.

AI replacement insight

Electrical risklow

Inductance value differs by ~9%. Stronger candidates offer upgraded current and DCR, reducing other risks.

Package risklow

All strong candidates share the same 0402 package and pinout.

Can it be replaced directly?

No exact drop-in replacement with 11nH inductance and ±2% tolerance was found. However, several strong functional alternatives exist with slightly different inductance values (10nH or 12nH) that offer upgraded performance in other areas.

Best replacement path

Use a part from the Murata LQW15AN...G80D series, like LQW15AN10NG80D or LQW15AN12NG80D. They offer superior current and DCR with a small, predictable shift in inductance.

Main risk

The primary risk is the change in inductance value (from 11nH to 10nH or 12nH), which could detune RF circuits or affect filter performance. This must be validated by the design engineer.

Recommended alternatives

A strong alternative with matching package and tolerance, but lower inductance (10nH) and significantly higher current rating (1.4A).
