The TDK NLV32T-2R2J-PF is an obsolete 2.2µH, 320mA fixed inductor in a 1210 package. Active, pin-compatible replacements like the NLV32T-2R2J-EF are available, along with higher-performance upgrades from the NLCV32 series.

AI replacement insight

Package risklow

All suggested alternatives use the same 1210 package.

Electrical riskmedium

Many upgrades have wider tolerance. Saturation current is often unspecified and should be verified for power circuits.

Can it be replaced directly?

Direct replacement for NLV32T-2R2J-PF should use only Datasheet verified or Strong match candidates; many approved options still require engineering review.

Best replacement path

NLV32T-2R2J-EF offers a direct, low-risk replacement. For improved performance, NLCV32 series parts are excellent upgrades if wider tolerance is acceptable.

Main risk

The primary risk when choosing an upgraded alternative is the wider inductance tolerance (typically ±20%), which may not be suitable for all circuits.
