Describe what you need. MST checks sources and substitutes for you, and the thread stays useful to other engineers.
Reading a power inductor datasheet for substitution: Isat 20 % vs 30 %, Irms temperature rise, test frequency and temperature rating
**Short answer:** Two power inductors with the same inductance and similar current numbers are often not comparable, because each maker defines the numbers differently. Before you call a part a substitute, put both datasheets on the same ba
LQH3NPN100NG0L replacement: a power inductor cross-reference walkthrough (Murata 10 µH, 3 × 3 mm)
**Short answer:** Murata's product page lists LQH3NPN100NG0# (L = 180 mm reel, K = 330 mm reel) as **discontinued**: last-time order 3/31/2018, end of production 9/30/2018. Murata names **LQH3NPN100MJR#** as the alternative product. Coilcra
