Functionally similar with better specs, but requires board redesign for the 0603 package.
Finding a substitute for the Sunlord SDFL1005QR56KTF, a 560nH multilayer inductor in a 1005 (0402) package, requires careful review. While no perfect drop-in replacement exists, several functional and parametric alternatives are available with different packages or inductance values.
Many alternatives are in larger packages (0603, 1210) and are not drop-in compatible.
Same-package options have different inductance. Target's missing saturation current spec adds uncertainty.
560nH inductors are widely available from multiple manufacturers in various packages.
No direct, drop-in replacement with identical key parameters was found. Alternatives either have a different inductance value or a different physical package requiring a PCB layout change.
For new designs, parts like MLJ1608WR56JT000 offer matching inductance and superior electrical performance in a slightly larger 0603 package. For existing boards, options are limited to parts with different inductance values, such as SDFL1005QR68KTF, which requires circuit validation.
The primary risks are physical incompatibility due to package size differences and electrical incompatibility from inductance mismatches.

The best alternative depends on your constraints. If you can change the PCB layout, MLJ1608WR56JT000 offers matching inductance with much better current and DCR in a 0603 package. If you cannot change the layout, you must evaluate parts with different inductance like SDFL1005QR68KTF (680nH).
