Sumida
A form-fit alternative with matching inductance and higher rated current, but slightly lower saturation current.
Find alternatives for the PIM252010-1R5MTS00, a 1.5µH power inductor in a 2520 package. This page lists form-fit options with minor parametric differences and functional upgrades in different packages.
Most alternatives are in different packages and require a PCB redesign.
The form-fit option has slightly weaker Isat/DCR. Functional alternatives are electrically superior.
No verified direct drop-in replacement exists. The closest candidate, 252012CDMCDDS-1R5MC, has the same package but requires review of its slightly lower saturation current (3.6A vs 3.9A).
The Sumida 252012CDMCDDS-1R5MC is the best path for a near drop-in replacement as it shares the 2520 package. However, it has a slightly lower saturation current that must be verified.
The primary risk is either package incompatibility for functional alternatives or a slight reduction in saturation current for the form-fit option.

| Feature / factor | PIM252010-1R5MTS00 | 252012CDMCDDS-1R5MC | FXL0530-1R5-M | Alt 3 | Compatibility / risk |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Package | 2520 (2.5mm x 2.0mm) | 2520 (1008) | 5.4mm x 5.2mm | 2520 (1008) / 5.4mm x 5.2mm — Package dimensions match target.; FXL0530-1R5-M: Not a drop-in replacement. | |
| Inductance H | 1.5µH | 1.5µH | 1.5µH | 1.5µH — matched; FXL0530-1R5-M: matched | |
| Saturation Current A | 3.9A | 3.6A | 8.5A | 3.6A / 8.5A — Slightly lower saturation current.; FXL0530-1R5-M: Significantly higher current handling. | |
| Current A | 3.0A | 3.6A | - | 3.6A — Higher rated current (Irms). | |
| Dcr Ohm | 42.8mΩ | 53mΩ | 25mΩ | 53mΩ / 25mΩ — Slightly higher DCR may impact efficiency.; FXL0530-1R5-M: Lower DCR improves efficiency. |
The best alternative is 252012CDMCDDS-1R5MC from Sumida. It matches the 2520 package and 1.5µH inductance, but you must verify if its slightly lower saturation current (3.6A vs 3.9A) is acceptable for your application.
