An electrical upgrade with higher current and lower DCR, but requires layout review due to a different package size.
PSPMAA1040H-330M-ANP is a 33µH, 4A power inductor for high-current applications. While no direct drop-in replacements are available, several functional alternatives exist with superior electrical characteristics but require physical layout verification.
All candidates have different footprints or heights, preventing drop-in replacement.
Most alternatives offer superior or equivalent electrical performance, except for one high-risk downgrade (PSPMAA0805-330M-ANP).
Alternatives are available from multiple manufacturers, providing sourcing flexibility.
No direct drop-in replacement has been identified. All suitable alternatives have different package dimensions, requiring layout and clearance verification before use.
FCH1050-330M offers upgraded electrical performance (5A Irms, 72mΩ DCR) and is the closest in form factor, but its taller package (5mm vs 4mm) requires physical clearance verification.
The primary risk across all potential substitutes is package incompatibility. No candidate matches the target's 11.5x10x4.0mm dimensions, requiring PCB layout changes or at least careful physical verification.

| Feature / factor | PSPMAA1040H-330M-ANP | FCH1050-330M | PSPMAA0805-330M-ANP | Alt 3 | Compatibility / risk |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Inductance | 33µH | 33µH | 33µH | 33µH — Inductance matches target.; PSPMAA0805-330M-ANP: Inductance matches target. | |
| Current | 4.0A | 5.0A | 3.5A | 5.0A / 3.5A — Higher rated current provides more margin.; PSPMAA0805-330M-ANP: Lower rated current is a downgrade and poses a risk. | |
| Saturation Current A | 6.0A | 6.0A | - | 6.0A — Saturation current matches target. | |
| Dcr Ohm | 120mΩ | 72mΩ | 111mΩ | 72mΩ / 111mΩ — Lower DCR improves efficiency.; PSPMAA0805-330M-ANP: DCR is comparable to target. | |
| Package | 1040H (11.5x10x4.0mm) | 1050 (10.5x10.2x5.0mm) | 8.0x8.5x5.0mm | 1050 (10.5x10.2x5.0mm) / 8.0x8.5x5.0mm — Package is taller and has a slightly different footprint.; PSPMAA0805-330M-ANP: Package has a smaller footprint but is taller. |
The best alternative is FCH1050-330M, which offers a higher current rating (5A vs 4A) and lower DCR. However, its package is 1mm taller, so you must verify it fits in your design.
