Vishay
A strong functional alternative from Vishay with better electricals, but a different footprint and lower max temp.
SLO0618H2R2MTT is a 2.2µH power inductor from Sunltech. Finding a direct, pin-compatible replacement is challenging due to its specific package size and high operating temperature range of +150°C. Alternatives often require PCB layout changes and careful review of thermal and current handling capabilities.
All candidates have different footprints requiring PCB redesign.
Most alternatives have a lower max temp of 125°C vs the target's 150°C.
Some candidates are downgrades in current; all must be verified for the specific application.
No direct drop-in replacement was found. All viable candidates require engineering review for package fit and thermal performance.
Functional alternate requiring board redesign.
Package mismatch and reduced maximum operating temperature are the primary risks.
