A functional alternative with similar inductance and improved current ratings, but a different package and higher DCR.
Finding a replacement for the SDRI127-470MT, a 47µH SMD power inductor, requires careful consideration of both electrical parameters and physical package. While no direct drop-in replacements were found, several functional alternatives exist that may be suitable with PCB modifications.
All candidates require a PCB layout change. None are drop-in replacements.
Candidates have variations in DCR and saturation current that must be evaluated for the specific application.
No direct pin-for-pin replacements were identified. All suitable candidates have different package dimensions, requiring a PCB layout change.
FXL1350-470-M is the strongest functional alternative if a PCB redesign is possible. It offers improved current ratings with a minor DCR trade-off.
The primary risk is mechanical incompatibility, as no candidates share the same package dimensions as the target.

| Feature / factor | SDRI127-470MT | FXL1350-470-M | FXC1040-470M | Alt 3 | Compatibility / risk |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Package | 12.5mm x 12.5mm | 13.45mm x 12.6mm | 11.5mm x 10.3mm x 4.0mm | 13.45mm x 12.6mm / 11.5mm x 10.3mm x 4.0mm — Not a drop-in replacement; requires layout change.; FXC1040-470M: Not a drop-in replacement; requires layout change. | |
| Inductance | 47µH | 47µH | 47µH | 47µH — matched; FXC1040-470M: matched | |
| Saturation Current A | 4.6A | 5.0A | 4.5A | 5.0A / 4.5A — Higher saturation current provides more margin.; FXC1040-470M: Slightly lower saturation current reduces operating margin. | |
| Current A | 2.5A | 2.6A | 3.0A | 2.6A / 3.0A — Higher RMS current rating.; FXC1040-470M: Higher RMS current rating. | |
| Dcr Ohm | 100mΩ | 130mΩ | 167mΩ | 130mΩ / 167mΩ — Higher DCR will increase copper losses.; FXC1040-470M: Significantly higher DCR increases power loss. |
The best functional alternative is FXL1350-470-M, which offers higher current ratings. However, it is not a drop-in replacement and requires a PCB layout change due to its different package size.
