Chilisin
A strong cross-vendor alternative from Chilisin with superior electricals in a larger 2520 package.
Finding a replacement for the Sunlord MPL1608S2R2MHT 2.2µH inductor involves balancing electrical performance with physical size. While several functional alternatives offer superior current handling, they come in larger packages requiring board redesign.
All candidates are larger than the target's 1608 package and require board redesign.
Most candidates offer superior current handling and lower DCR. Check Isat for your application.
No direct pin-for-pin replacement has been identified. All suitable electrical alternatives are in different, larger packages.
Functional alternatives with higher current ratings exist, but all reviewed candidates require a larger PCB footprint (e.g., 0805, 2016, 2520).
The primary risk is the package mismatch. The target is a compact 1608 (0603) size, and all viable alternatives are physically larger.
