Murata Electronics
A pin-compatible upgrade from Murata with a tighter tolerance (±0.1pF) and active lifecycle.
The Murata GRM1555C1H1R2CA01D is a 1.2pF 50V 0402 MLCC, now marked as NRND. We've identified several potential replacements to ensure design continuity.
Alternatives have matching or better specs.
All viable alternatives are in the same 0402 package.
The target is NRND, requiring a switch to an alternative part.
Direct replacement for GRM1555C1H1R2CA01D should use only Datasheet verified or Strong match candidates; many approved options still require engineering review.
Use GJM1555C1H1R2BB01D from Murata for an upgrade with tighter tolerance, or CQ0402CRNPO9BN1R2 from Yageo for a direct cross.
The main risk is sourcing, as the original part is Not Recommended for New Designs (NRND).
