A pin-compatible upgrade with a higher 50V rating and automotive qualification in the same 0402 package.
Yageo's CC0402KRX7R8BB221 is a general-purpose 220pF, 25V, 10% X7R ceramic capacitor in a standard 0402 package. This page provides a detailed analysis of potential alternatives, including pin-compatible upgrades and parametric options.
Substituting with a C0G/NP0 dielectric alters circuit performance and requires validation.
All candidates use the same standard 0402 package, ensuring physical compatibility.
Most candidates are active, but check for NRND parts before committing to a design.
Murata's GCM155R71H221KA37D is a strong candidate for direct replacement, as it matches the 0402 package, 220pF capacitance, and X7R dielectric.
Upgrade to Murata GCM155R71H221KA37D for a higher voltage rating (50V) and automotive (AEC-Q200) qualification.
The primary risk is a dielectric mismatch. Many potential alternatives use a C0G/NP0 dielectric, which has different temperature and voltage characteristics than the target's X7R.
