Commercial grade version with identical electrical specs and package, but lacks AEC-Q200 rating.
VLS6045EX-4R7M-H is a 4.7µH AEC-Q200 power inductor from TDK in a 6x6mm package. Finding a direct replacement requires matching its automotive rating, current handling, and physical dimensions.
Using a non-automotive part in an automotive design is a major risk.
Several alternatives require a PCB redesign due to different package sizes.
Electrical parameters are similar or better in many candidates, but DCR and current ratings must be checked.
No verified direct, pin-for-pin, AEC-Q200 qualified replacement has been identified. The commercial grade VLS6045EX-4R7M is the closest fit but lacks automotive qualification.
For non-automotive use, VLS6045EX-4R7M is a strong candidate. For automotive use, no direct drop-in is identified; a redesign may be needed.
The primary risk is substituting a non-AEC-Q200 part into an automotive application, which can compromise reliability and safety.
