Is there a pin-compatible replacement for NR6028T220M?

Sunlord's SWPA6028S220MT shares the same 6028 package and footprint. However, it is not a guaranteed drop-in replacement as its DC resistance is higher, its temperature rise current is lower, and its saturation current is not specified. Full electrical validation is necessary.

What risks should I check before replacing NR6028T220M?

Key risks include: 1) Package mismatch, especially height clearance. 2) Electrical stress: ensure the replacement's saturation current (Isat) and temperature rise current (Irms) meet or exceed the original's 1.3A and 1.6A respectively. 3) Efficiency: a higher DC Resistance (DCR) will increase power loss.

Searching for a replacement for the NR6028T220M? This 22µH shielded power inductor has several potential alternatives, but careful review of package size and current ratings is required.

AI replacement insight

Package riskhigh

Many alternatives have different footprints or are taller.

Electrical riskmedium

Candidates may have lower current ratings or higher DCR, impacting performance and reliability.

Sourcing risklow

22µH inductors in this class are common from multiple vendors.

Can it be replaced directly?

Treat substitution as an engineering review, not a simple MPN swap.

Best replacement path

If vertical space allows, VLS6045EX-220M is a strong electrical upgrade. If not, SWPA6028S220MT is a form-fit candidate that requires careful electrical review due to weaker specs.

Main risk

The primary risk is finding a part that is both mechanically compatible (6x6x2.8mm) and electrically equivalent or better, especially regarding current ratings.

Recommended alternatives

An electrically superior alternative with higher current ratings, but is much taller and requires a mechanical fit check.

Questions & answers

TDK's VLS6045EX-220M offers superior electrical performance with higher current ratings and lower resistance. However, it is taller (4.5mm vs 2.8mm), so mechanical fit must be confirmed. For a same-package option, Sunlord's SWPA6028S220MT exists but has weaker electricals and requires careful validation.
