Is there a pin-compatible replacement for CL31Y106KBKVPNE?

Yes, many 1206 package capacitors are pin-compatible, including Murata's GRM31CD71H106KE11L. However, pin compatibility does not guarantee electrical performance. The dielectric material (X7S vs. X7T or X5R) must be verified for your application.

What risks should I check before replacing CL31Y106KBKVPNE?

The main risk is the dielectric mismatch. Using an X5R substitute reduces the operating temperature from 125°C to 85°C. Using an X7T substitute alters the capacitance change over temperature, which can affect timing or filter circuits.

AI replacement insight

Electrical riskhigh

Dielectric mismatch affects temperature range and capacitance stability.

Package risklow

All candidates share the same 1206 package.

Can it be replaced directly?

No direct, drop-in replacement has been verified. All reviewed candidates have a different dielectric (e.g., X7T or X5R) which affects performance and requires review.

Best replacement path

Search for a 10µF 50V 1206 capacitor with an X7S or X7R dielectric. If unavailable, an X7T part is the next best option, requiring engineering review.

Main risk

Dielectric mismatch, leading to reduced operating temperature range (with X5R) or different capacitance stability over temperature (with X7T).

Recommended alternatives

Similar specs but with an X7T dielectric, which has a different capacitance vs. temperature profile.
