Is there a pin-compatible replacement for WPN201610U2R2MTY01?

Yes, MWTC201610S2R2MT is a pin-compatible replacement in the same 2016 package. Other candidates also share the package but have different electrical parameters that require review.

What risks should I check before replacing WPN201610U2R2MTY01?

When replacing this inductor, verify the saturation current (Isat), RMS current (Irms), and DC Resistance (DCR). A lower Isat can cause circuit instability, lower Irms can lead to overheating, and higher DCR reduces efficiency.
