A functional alternative with superior current ratings but requires a larger PCB footprint.
SMMS0630-3R3M is a 3.3µH shielded power inductor in a 0630 package, rated for 9.5A saturation current. While no direct pin-compatible replacements are identified, several functional alternatives with superior current ratings are available in larger packages.
No candidates match the 0630 package, requiring PCB redesign.
Most alternatives offer superior current and DCR ratings.
No direct drop-in replacement found. All candidates require a board redesign due to different package sizes.
Upgrade to a larger footprint inductor like SMMS1040-3R3M for improved current handling and efficiency, if board space allows.
Package mismatch is the main risk, preventing direct substitution.

| Feature / factor | SMMS0630-3R3M | MWSA1004S-3R3MT | PSPMAA1040H-3R3M-ANP | SMMS1040-3R3M | Compatibility / risk |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Package | 0630 | 1004 | 1040H | 1040 | 1004 / 1040H — Larger footprint, requires PCB redesign.; PSPMAA1040H-3R3M-ANP: Larger footprint, requires PCB redesign.; SMMS1040-3R3M: Larger footprint, requires PCB redesign. |
| Saturation Current A | 9.5 A | 16.0 A | 16.0 A | 16.0 A | 16.0 A — Higher saturation current provides more margin.; PSPMAA1040H-3R3M-ANP: Higher saturation current provides more margin.; SMMS1040-3R3M: Higher saturation current provides more margin. |
| Current A | 7.0 A | 7.96 A | 10.0 A | 10.0 A | 7.96 A / 10.0 A — Slightly higher thermal current rating.; PSPMAA1040H-3R3M-ANP: Higher thermal current rating.; SMMS1040-3R3M: Higher thermal current rating. |
| Dcr Ohm | 24.5 mΩ | 16.0 mΩ | 12.0 mΩ | 10.8 mΩ | 16.0 mΩ / 12.0 mΩ / 10.8 mΩ — Lower DCR improves efficiency.; PSPMAA1040H-3R3M-ANP: Lower DCR improves efficiency.; SMMS1040-3R3M: Lower DCR improves efficiency. |
| Inductance | 3.3 µH | - | - | 3.3 µH | 3.3 µH — Inductance value matches. |
Several functional alternatives like SMMS1040-3R3M offer higher current ratings and lower resistance, but come in larger packages (e.g., 1040). These require PCB layout changes but can improve performance.
