This part is an upgrade with higher voltage rating, but is slightly taller. Verify board clearance.
Finding a substitute for the CX GR687M025G17RR0VL4FP0 680uF 25V capacitor involves balancing electrical parameters with mechanical fit. Several functional alternatives exist, but require careful review of package dimensions.
Candidates have different package dimensions (height, diameter) and likely different lead spacing. Verification is required.
Candidates with matching capacitance and equal or higher voltage are available. Some have lower endurance ratings.
Direct replacement for GR687M025G17RR0VL4FP0 should use only Datasheet verified or Strong match candidates; many approved options still require engineering review.
The best path is an upgrade to GR687M035G20RR0VL4FP0 from the same series, which offers a higher voltage rating. This requires verifying vertical clearance on the PCB.
The primary risk when substituting this capacitor is mechanical incompatibility. Different package sizes or lead spacing can prevent proper assembly.

This part is an upgrade with higher voltage rating, but is slightly taller. Verify board clearance.
