Functional alternate with identical electrical specs but in a larger 0402 package; check board layout and sourcing.
Finding a substitute for the Murata GRM0335C1H680FA01D, a 68pF 50V 1% 0201 MLCC, requires careful review of package size and electrical parameters. While no direct drop-in replacements are identified, several functional and parametric alternatives exist.
Most alternatives are in a larger 0402 package, not a drop-in fit for the 0201 footprint.
Many candidates have looser tolerance or different capacitance, which can impact performance.
Some electrically identical parts are marked NRND (Not Recommended for New Designs).
No direct drop-in replacement with identical parameters was found. All candidates require engineering review for package or parametric differences.
A functional alternate with a different package (e.g., GRM1555C1H680FA01D) if the PCB layout can be modified.
The primary risk is physical incompatibility, as most functional alternatives are in a larger 0402 package, requiring a PCB layout change.

The best alternative depends on your design constraints. If a larger 0402 package is acceptable, GRM1555C1H680FA01D offers identical electrical specs but is NRND. If the 0201 package is required, GRM0335C1H750GA01D is a close parametric option but has different capacitance and tolerance.
