Finding a replacement for the Sunlord WPN252012H1R5MT 1.5µH inductor requires checking package size and current ratings. While several functional alternatives exist, no direct drop-in replacements have been identified.

AI replacement insight

Package riskhigh

All candidates have different footprints, requiring a mandatory board redesign.

Electrical risklow

Candidates offer superior current handling and lower DCR, which is generally a safe upgrade.

Can it be replaced directly?

No direct, pin-compatible replacements for the WPN252012H1R5MT have been verified. All reviewed functional alternatives require a PCB layout change due to package differences.

Best replacement path

For a new design, candidates like Chilisin's MHCI06030-1R5M-R8 offer superior performance. For an existing board, search for 1.5µH inductors in a 2520 package with Isat ≥ 2.9A.

Main risk

Package mismatch is the primary risk; all potential upgrades are in larger physical packages, requiring a board redesign.
