CA45-A-16V-22uF-K is a 22uF 16V case A tantalum capacitor. Alternatives need package, temperature, and capacitor-technology review.

AI replacement insight

Electrical riskmedium

MLCC capacitance and ESR vary in circuit.

Package riskhigh

CA45-B and smaller MLCCs do not match case A.

Firmware risklow

Passive part; no firmware interface.

Sourcing riskmedium

Lifecycle is mostly unspecified.

Can it be replaced directly?

No confirmed pin-compatible replacement is proven from the provided evidence.

Best replacement path

For same footprint, review HGC1206R5226K250NSPJ if an MLCC is acceptable.

Main risk

The main risk is changing case size or replacing tantalum with X5R MLCC behavior.
