A form-fit alternate in a 1040 package, but with lower current ratings that require engineering review.
Finding a replacement for the PROD PSPMAA1040H-220M-ANP 22µH power inductor involves balancing package compatibility with electrical performance. While some options match the 1040 package, they may have lower current ratings, requiring careful review.
Some candidates have lower current ratings, requiring careful circuit analysis.
Many alternatives require a different PCB footprint, necessitating a board redesign.
Multiple functional alternatives from various manufacturers are available.
No direct, drop-in replacement with identical or better electrical specifications has been identified. All candidates have caveats, primarily related to package differences or lower current ratings.
Verify circuit current requirements. If they are below 4A RMS and 6A peak, SMMS1040-220M is a potential candidate. Otherwise, a PCB redesign for a larger, higher-rated inductor like SMMS1360-220M is necessary.
The main risk is substituting a part with a lower current rating (both RMS and saturation), which can lead to performance degradation or component failure.

| Feature / factor | PSPMAA1040H-220M-ANP | SMMS1040-220M | SMMS1360-220M | SMMS1770-220M | Compatibility / risk |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Package | 1040 (11.5mm x 10.0mm) | 1040 | 1360 | 1770 (17.50mm x 17.15mm) | 1040 / 1360 / 1770 (17.50mm x 17.15mm) — Same package code, likely form-fit compatible.; SMMS1360-220M: Different package requires PCB redesign.; SMMS1770-220M: Much larger package requires PCB redesign. |
| Inductance | 22µH | 22µH | 22µH | 22µH | 22µH — matched; SMMS1360-220M: matched; SMMS1770-220M: matched |
| Saturation Current | 7.0A | 6.0A | 8.0A | 23.0A | 6.0A / 8.0A / 23.0A — Lower Isat may cause inductance drop at peak current.; SMMS1360-220M: Higher current handling.; SMMS1770-220M: Significantly higher current handling. |
| Rms Current | 4.5A | 4.0A | 5.0A | 11.0A | 4.0A / 5.0A / 11.0A — Lower Irms may cause overheating under load.; SMMS1360-220M: Higher current handling.; SMMS1770-220M: Significantly higher current handling. |
| Dcr | 90mΩ | 60mΩ | 34mΩ | - | 60mΩ / 34mΩ — Lower DCR improves efficiency.; SMMS1360-220M: Lower DCR improves efficiency. |
The best alternative depends on your design constraints. For a similar footprint, SMMS1040-220M is an option but has lower current ratings. For higher performance, parts like SMMS1360-220M offer better specs but require a PCB layout change.
