A potential upgrade with higher current ratings and lower DCR, but requires package footprint verification.
The Sunlord MWSA1206S-6R8MT is a 6.8µH molded SMD power inductor in a 1265 package, designed for power conversion applications. Finding a substitute requires matching its key electrical parameters and package footprint.
Most alternatives have different package dimensions, requiring PCB layout verification or redesign.
Some candidates offer better performance, while others are downgrades. DCR and current ratings must be checked against application requirements.
Multiple manufacturers produce similar 6.8µH power inductors, offering a range of options.
No direct, drop-in replacement is confirmed. The closest options require careful review of package dimensions and electrical specifications.
Upgrade to CYA1265-6.8UH for better performance, after verifying its slightly different package footprint (13.8x12.8mm) is compatible with your PCB layout.
The primary risk is physical incompatibility due to package size and footprint differences between the target and potential alternatives.

| Feature / factor | MWSA1206S-6R8MT | CYA1265-6.8UH | SMMS1770-6R8M | Alt 3 | Compatibility / risk |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Package | 1265 (12.6x13.45mm) | 1265 (13.8x12.8mm) | 1770 (17.5x17.15mm) | 1265 (13.8x12.8mm) / 1770 (17.5x17.15mm) — Slightly different dimensions, requires footprint check.; SMMS1770-6R8M: Much larger package, requires board redesign. | |
| Saturation Current A | 10A | 28A | 32A | 28A / 32A — Significantly higher saturation current.; SMMS1770-6R8M: Significantly higher saturation current. | |
| Current A | 12A | 15A | 19A | 15A / 19A — Higher heat rating current.; SMMS1770-6R8M: Higher heat rating current. | |
| Dcr Ohm | 13.5mΩ | 10mΩ | 8.4mΩ | 10mΩ / 8.4mΩ — Lower DCR improves efficiency.; SMMS1770-6R8M: Lower DCR improves efficiency. | |
| Temperature | -40°C to +125°C | -55°C to +125°C | - | -55°C to +125°C — Wider operating temperature range. |
CYA1265-6.8UH is a strong candidate with superior current ratings and lower DCR. However, its package dimensions differ slightly, so footprint compatibility must be verified.
