100nF 500V X7R MLCC candidate; not a proven Case A tantalum drop-in.
Best Alternatives to CA45-A-35V-0.1UF-K
CA45-A-35V-0.1UF-K is a 0.1uF 35V Case A tantalum/polymer SMD capacitor. Listed MLCCs are functional candidates only and need FAE review.
AI replacement insight
Electrical riskmedium
Voltage is adequate, ESR/leakage differ.
Package riskhigh
Case A footprint is not verified.
Firmware risklow
Passive part; no firmware interface.
Sourcing risklow
Candidates are active catalog matches.
Can it be replaced directly?
No pin-compatible replacement is proven from the provided evidence.
Best replacement path
Start with the 1206/3216 MLCC candidates, then verify footprint, ESR, leakage and bias behavior.
Main risk
Tantalum/polymer to MLCC substitution can change ESR, leakage, capacitance under bias and stability.
