Is there a pin-compatible replacement for WPN201610H2R2MT?

Currently, no pin-compatible (drop-in) replacement has been verified. All identified alternatives are in different physical packages and would require changes to the printed circuit board layout.

What risks should I check before replacing WPN201610H2R2MT?

The primary risk is the package mismatch; you must verify the new part's footprint and height fit your design. Also, check that the higher current ratings and lower DCR of alternatives do not negatively impact other circuit behavior, such as EMI or transient response.

WPN201610H2R2MT is a 2.2µH power inductor in a compact 2016 package. While no direct drop-in replacements have been identified, several functional alternatives with superior current ratings are available, though they require PCB layout modifications due to different package s...

AI replacement insight

Package riskhigh

All candidates have different footprints (e.g., 2520, 4020 vs 2016) and require board redesign.

Electrical risklow

Most candidates offer superior current ratings and lower DCR, which is generally a safe upgrade.

Can it be replaced directly?

No direct, drop-in replacement is available due to package differences.

Best replacement path

Board redesign for a functional alternative like MHCD252012A-2R2M-A8S, which offers an upgrade in the most similarly sized package.

Main risk

Package incompatibility is the main risk, requiring a mandatory PCB layout revision for any of the suggested alternatives.

Recommended alternatives

A functional alternative with better current ratings in a slightly larger package, requiring board redesign.
