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.

AI replacement insight

Package riskhigh

Most alternatives are in different packages and require a PCB redesign.

Electrical risklow

The form-fit option has slightly weaker Isat/DCR. Functional alternatives are electrically superior.

Can it be replaced directly?

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).

Best replacement path

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.

Main risk

The primary risk is either package incompatibility for functional alternatives or a slight reduction in saturation current for the form-fit option.
