Electrically superior alternative with higher current ratings, but requires a larger PCB footprint.
Find viable alternatives for the TAI-TECH TMPA1265SP-100MN-D, a 10uH, 13A SMD power inductor. This guide reviews functional alternates and highlights key differences in package size and electrical ratings to ensure a successful replacement.
Most alternatives have different footprints requiring PCB changes.
Some candidates are downgrades in rated current or DCR.
Several alternatives are available from different manufacturers.
No verified direct drop-in replacement is available. All candidates have significant differences in package size or electrical ratings.
Evaluate functional alternates, prioritizing either electrical upgrades (requiring layout changes) or similar form-factor parts (with potential electrical downgrades).
The primary risk is physical incompatibility due to different package sizes, or thermal issues from candidates with lower current ratings.

Electrically superior alternative with higher current ratings, but requires a larger PCB footprint.
| Feature / factor | TMPA1265SP-100MN-D | SMMS1770-100M | CYA1265-10UH | Alt 3 | Compatibility / risk |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Inductance | 10µH | 10µH | 10µH | 10µH — Inductance matches target.; CYA1265-10UH: Inductance matches target. | |
| Package | 12.6x13.5mm | 17.5x17.15mm | 12.8x12.5mm | 17.5x17.15mm / 12.8x12.5mm — Significantly larger footprint.; CYA1265-10UH: Similar size, may be form-fit compatible. | |
| Current | 13A | 16.5A | 11A | 16.5A / 11A — Higher rated current offers better thermal performance.; CYA1265-10UH: Lower rated current poses a thermal risk. | |
| Saturation Current A | 17A | 25A | 21A | 25A / 21A — Higher saturation current provides more headroom.; CYA1265-10UH: Higher saturation current is an improvement. | |
| Dcr Ohm | 13mΩ | 11.6mΩ | 15.5mΩ | 11.6mΩ / 15.5mΩ — Lower DCR reduces power loss.; CYA1265-10UH: Higher DCR increases power loss. |
There is no single 'best' alternative. Candidates like SMMS1770-100M offer superior electrical performance but require a larger PCB footprint. Others like CYA1265-10UH have a similar footprint but with a lower current rating, posing a thermal risk.
