A 10µH inductor in the same 0603 package, but with a slightly lower saturation current rating.
Finding a replacement for the TDK MLZ1608M100WT000 10µH inductor involves balancing package size and electrical performance. While some same-size options exist with minor trade-offs, functional alternatives offer higher performance in larger packages.
Saturation current (Isat) mismatch in form-fit parts is a key concern.
Functional alternates require a PCB redesign due to larger footprints.
Multiple vendors offer inductors with similar core specifications.
No perfect direct replacement was found. MPH160809S100MT is the closest form-fit option but carries a risk due to a slightly lower saturation current.
For a form-fit solution, review MPH160809S100MT but validate its lower saturation current. For new designs, use a larger functional alternate for better performance.
The primary risk is performance degradation from lower saturation current in same-package alternatives, or the need for a board redesign for larger, higher-spec parts.

For a form-fit replacement, Sunlord's MPH160809S100MT is close but has a slightly lower saturation current (80mA vs 90mA) requiring verification. For higher performance, functional alternatives like Sunlord's WPN4020H100MT exist but require a PCB redesign due to a larger package.
