Form-fit function candidate with slightly higher rated current but also higher DCR.
Finding a substitute for the PSPMAA0605H-680M-IGF 68µH power inductor involves a trade-off. Alternatives exist that are electrically superior but require a board redesign, while others offer a similar form-factor but with compromises in electrical performance like higher DCR.
No candidates have an identical package. Form-fit options require footprint verification, while functional alternates require a new layout.
Form-fit candidates have higher DCR, which will increase power loss and heat. This must be evaluated in the application.
Multiple manufacturers offer parts with similar core specifications, providing sourcing flexibility.
No direct, verified pin-to-pin replacement has been identified. However, several parts in a similar 0650 package (e.g., CYA0650-68UH) are strong candidates for a form-fit replacement, pending footprint verification and analysis of the higher DCR.
If board layout can be changed, SMDRI127-680MT offers a significant electrical upgrade. If not, CYA0650-68UH and SMMS0650-680M are potential form-fit options, but require accepting higher DCR.
The primary trade-off is between package size and electrical performance. Form-fit candidates have higher DCR, while electrically superior parts require a board redesign.

| Feature / factor | PSPMAA0605H-680M-IGF | CYA0650-68UH | SMDRI127-680MT | SMMS0650-680M | Compatibility / risk |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Package | 0605 (6.6x7.1mm) | 0650 (~7.3x6.6mm) | - | - | 0650 (~7.3x6.6mm) — Very similar dimensions, likely form-fit compatible. Verify footprint. |
| Inductance | 68µH | 68µH | - | - | 68µH — matched |
| Saturation Current A | 2.0A | 2.0A | - | - | 4.0A — Significantly higher saturation current. |
| Current A | 1.5A | 1.8A | - | - | 2.1A — Higher rated current. |
| Dcr Ohm | 0.232Ω | 0.350Ω | - | - | 0.140Ω — Much lower DCR improves efficiency. |
The best alternative depends on your design constraints. For an electrical upgrade requiring a new layout, SMDRI127-680MT is best. For a near form-fit replacement, consider CYA0650-68UH, but be aware of its higher DCR.
