A 0.68µF 50V capacitor in the same 0603 package, but with an X5R dielectric and NRND status, requiring careful review.
Finding a substitute for the Yageo CC0603KRX7R7BB684, a 0.68µF 16V 0603 MLCC, involves matching capacitance, voltage, and X7R dielectric. Alternatives may offer different parameters requiring review.
Changes in capacitance or dielectric affect circuit behavior.
Many alternatives exist in the standard 0603 package.
Some alternatives may be NRND or have different supply chain availability.
No direct drop-in replacement was found without caveats. All potential substitutes have different capacitance or dielectric properties that require engineering review.
Search for 0603 MLCCs with 0.68µF capacitance, X7R dielectric, and a voltage rating of 16V or higher from other major manufacturers.
The main risks are substituting with incorrect capacitance or a less stable dielectric (like X5R), which can impact circuit performance and reliability.

| Feature / factor | CC0603KRX7R7BB684 | GRM188R61H684KA75D | GCM188R71C105KA64J | Alt 3 | Compatibility / risk |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Package | 0603 (1608 metric) | 0603 (1608 metric) | 0603 (1608 metric) | 0603 (1608 metric) — Form factor is identical.; GCM188R71C105KA64J: Form factor is identical. | |
| Capacitance | 0.68 µF | 0.68 µF | 1 µF | 0.68 µF / 1 µF — Capacitance value matches.; GCM188R71C105KA64J: Higher capacitance may be acceptable for decoupling but requires review. | |
| Voltage | 16 V | 50 V | 16 V | 50 V / 16 V — Higher voltage rating provides more margin.; GCM188R71C105KA64J: Voltage rating matches. | |
| Dielectric | X7R | X5R | X7R | X5R / X7R — X5R has a narrower operating temperature range than X7R.; GCM188R71C105KA64J: Dielectric type matches. | |
