Can it be replaced directly?

Direct replacement for 0603ESDA-05N should use only Datasheet verified or Strong match candidates; many approved options still require engineering review.

Best replacement path

Start with 0603ESDA-24N only if a 24 V ESD threshold is acceptable.

Main risk

A 24 V ESD part may clamp too late for a 5 V node.
