Good electrical upgrade with higher current and lower DCR, but requires board redesign for its SMD package.
Find functional alternatives for the PDPTAT0608-100M, a 10µH through-hole power inductor. While no direct drop-in replacements exist, several surface-mount (SMD) options offer superior electrical performance for new designs or board revisions.
Target is DIP (through-hole), candidates are SMD. A PCB redesign is mandatory.
Most candidates are strong electrical upgrades. Some have higher DCR, which needs review for power loss.
No direct, pin-compatible replacement for PDPTAT0608-100M was found. All suitable alternatives are in different packages (SMD) and require a PCB redesign.
For new designs or board revisions, using a modern SMD power inductor like XR1265-100M or FXL1350-100-M is the best path. They offer superior electrical performance.
The primary risk is the package mismatch. The target is a through-hole component, while all alternatives are surface-mount, making them mechanically incompatible without a board redesign.

| Feature / factor | PDPTAT0608-100M | FXC1040-100M | FXL1050-100-M | FXL1350-100-M | Compatibility / risk |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Package | DIP, 7.5mm x 10mm | 11.5mm x 10.3mm x 4.0mm | SMD, 11.5x10.0mm | 1350 (13.45mm x 12.6mm) | 11.5mm x 10.3mm x 4.0mm / SMD, 11.5x10.0mm / 1350 (13.45mm x 12.6mm) / SMD, 13.45x12.6mm — Requires PCB redesign from through-hole to surface-mount.; FXL1050-100-M: Requires PCB redesign from through-hole to surface-mount.; FXL1350-100-M: Requires PCB redesign from through-hole to surface-mount.; XR1265-100M: Requires PCB redesign from through-hole to surface-mount. |
| Current | 3.0 A | 7.5 A | 7.0 A | 8.0 A | 7.5 A / 7.0 A / 8.0 A / 10.0 A — Significantly higher current rating.; FXL1050-100-M: Significantly higher current rating.; FXL1350-100-M: Significantly higher current rating.; XR1265-100M: Significantly higher current rating provides more thermal margin. |
| Saturation Current A | 3.1 A | 12.0 A | 8.8 A | 12.0 A | 12.0 A / 8.8 A / 12.5 A — Significantly higher saturation current.; FXL1050-100-M: Significantly higher saturation current.; FXL1350-100-M: Significantly higher saturation current.; XR1265-100M: Higher saturation current prevents inductance drop at high peak currents. |
| Dcr Ohm | 36.0 mΩ | 30.0 mΩ | 28.0 mΩ | 22.0 mΩ | 30.0 mΩ / 28.0 mΩ / 22.0 mΩ / 20.7 mΩ — Lower DCR reduces DC power losses.; FXL1050-100-M: Lower DCR reduces DC power losses.; FXL1350-100-M: Lower DCR reduces DC power losses.; XR1265-100M: Lower DCR reduces DC power losses. |
The best alternatives are XR1265-100M and FXL1350-100-M. They offer significant upgrades in current handling and have lower DCR, but require a PCB redesign as they are SMD parts.
