Is there a pin-compatible replacement for CGA0201X5R224K160ET?

No, a pin-compatible replacement for CGA0201X5R224K160ET is not available in this list. All candidates have a different package size, which prevents a direct drop-in.

What risks should I check before replacing CGA0201X5R224K160ET?

The main risk is the package mismatch, requiring a board redesign. For some alternatives, the dielectric material (e.g., X7R vs. X5R) also differs, which could affect performance depending on the operating temperature range.

CGA0201X5R224K160ET Alternatives, Datasheet & Cross Reference | HRE

Finding a replacement for the HRE CGA0201X5R224K160ET, a 220nF 16V 0201 capacitor, requires careful attention to package size. While functional alternatives exist, no direct drop-in replacements were found in this analysis.

AI replacement insight

Package riskhigh

All candidates have a larger footprint (0402 or 1206) than the 0201 target, requiring a board spin.

Electrical risklow

All candidates meet or exceed the voltage rating and match other key electricals, posing low electrical risk.

Can it be replaced directly?

No, there are no direct pin-compatible replacements in the provided list. All candidates have different physical packages (0402 or 1206) requiring a PCB layout change.

Best replacement path

Search for a 220nF, 16V or higher, X5R, ±10% tolerance capacitor in a 0201 package from manufacturers like Murata, TDK, Samsung, or Kemet.

Main risk

The primary risk is the physical package mismatch. The target is a small 0201 package, while all candidates are larger, making them physically incompatible without a board redesign.

Recommended alternatives

Functional alternate from Walsin with same key specs but in a larger 0402 package.
