L1008Q1R0MDMIT Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The L1008Q1R0MDMIT is a 1 µH shielded multilayer ferrite inductor manufactured by KEMET, rated for 1.2 A continuous current with a maximum DC resistance of 120 mOhm. This component is packaged in the 1008 (2520 Metric) surface mount form factor and operates across the temperature range of -40°C to 85°C. The part is classified as obsolete, necessitating identification of functionally equivalent alternatives for ongoing design requirements and procurement needs.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the L1008Q1R0MDMIT is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Mandatory Matching Parameters:

• Inductance value: 1 µH
• Package / Case: 1008 (2520 Metric)
• Core material: Ferrite
• Shielding: Shielded
• Mounting type: Surface Mount
• Tolerance: ±20%

Allowable Parameter Variations: Substitute parts may exceed the original specifications in current rating and provide lower DC resistance values, as these represent performance improvements without introducing incompatibility. Operating temperature range may be extended. Compliance certifications (RoHS3, REACH) must be maintained.

The Murata Electronics LQM2HPN1R0MG0L meets all mandatory matching criteria and provides enhanced electrical performance characteristics suitable for direct substitution in applications previously specified for the KEMET L1008Q1R0MDMIT.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The LQM2HPN1R0MG0L from Murata Electronics is the direct substitute for the obsolete L1008Q1R0MDMIT. Both components share identical inductance values, package dimensions, and core material specifications. The Murata part is currently in active production status with substantial inventory availability (15,906 pieces), ensuring supply chain continuity.

The substitute part provides superior electrical performance through reduced DC resistance (69 mOhm versus 120 mOhm maximum) and increased current rating capability (1.6 A versus 1.2 A). The extended operating temperature range (-55°C to 125°C versus -40°C to 85°C) accommodates broader environmental applications. Both components maintain ROHS3 compliance and unlimited moisture sensitivity classification, ensuring regulatory and manufacturing process compatibility.

Physical dimensions remain identical at 0.098" L × 0.079" W (2.50mm × 2.00mm), with the Murata part featuring a reduced seated height of 0.039" (1.00mm) compared to 0.079" (2.00mm) for the KEMET original. This dimensional difference does not affect PCB layout compatibility for standard surface mount assembly processes.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the LQM2HPN1R0MG0L be used as a direct replacement for the L1008Q1R0MDMIT in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both components share identical inductance values (1 µH), package specifications (1008 / 2520 Metric), core material (ferrite), and shielding characteristics. The substitute part meets or exceeds all electrical performance requirements of the original specification.

Q: What are the key differences between these two inductors?

A: The primary differences are current rating (1.6 A versus 1.2 A), DC resistance (69 mOhm versus 120 mOhm maximum), operating temperature range (-55°C to 125°C versus -40°C to 85°C), and product status (active versus obsolete). The Murata part provides enhanced performance across all these parameters.

Q: Are there any PCB layout considerations when substituting the LQM2HPN1R0MG0L for the L1008Q1R0MDMIT?

A: The package footprint remains identical. The Murata part has a lower seated height (0.039" versus 0.079"), which does not create compatibility issues for standard surface mount assembly. No PCB redesign is required.

Q: Do both parts meet the same compliance standards?

A: Yes. Both the L1008Q1R0MDMIT and LQM2HPN1R0MG0L are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected. Both carry moisture sensitivity level 1 (unlimited), indicating no special handling requirements during manufacturing or storage.

Q: What is the inductance tolerance for both parts?

A: Both components specify ±20% inductance tolerance at 1 MHz test frequency. This tolerance applies equally to the original and substitute part.

Q: Is the LQM2HPN1R0MG0L available in the same packaging format?

A: Yes. The Murata part is supplied in Cut Tape (CT) and Digi-Reel packaging, matching the original KEMET packaging options. Standard reel quantities and tape specifications are maintained for automated assembly compatibility.
