Murata Electronics
Excellent alternative from Murata with matching inductance and higher current rating in the same 0402 package.
VHF100505HQ2N4ST is a 2.4nH, 800mA high-frequency inductor in an 0402 package. Several alternatives exist, with the closest match being Murata's LQG15HS2N4B02D.
Most candidates have minor parametric shifts; check application tolerance.
All viable candidates use the standard 0402 package.
Alternatives are available from major manufacturers like Murata and Fenghua.
Direct replacement for VHF100505HQ2N4ST should use only Datasheet verified or Strong match candidates; many approved options still require engineering review.
The Murata LQG15HS2N4B02D offers a near-identical parametric profile and is the recommended starting point for a replacement.
The primary risk is ensuring that parametric differences, such as inductance or DC resistance, are within the application's tolerance.
