AI replacement insight

Electrical riskmedium

X5R, X7R, and X7T differ under bias and temperature.

Package riskhigh

0603 and 1206 parts are not 0805 footprint matches.

Firmware risklow

Passive MLCC; no firmware impact expected.

Sourcing riskmedium

One candidate has unknown lifecycle; one was rejected as obsolete.

Can it be replaced directly?

No fully verified pin-compatible replacement is confirmed from these candidates.

Best replacement path

Best reviewed path is Murata GRM21BD72A225KE01L if X7T behavior is acceptable.

Main risk

Dielectric change or package mismatch.
