Can it be replaced directly?
Direct replacement for CD40106BM96 should use only Datasheet verified or Strong match candidates; many approved options still require engineering review.
Best replacement path
Look for a SOIC-14 CMOS hex Schmitt inverter covering 3V to 18V and -55C to 125C.
Main risk
Most candidates are limited to 5V or 6V operation.
