Murata's GRM155C81A105KA12D is a 1uF 10V X6S capacitor in an 0402 package, now marked as NRND. Engineers can find several potential replacements, including upgrades with higher voltage or wider temperature ranges.

AI replacement insight

Electrical riskmedium

Some alternatives have different dielectrics (X5R, X7S) or wider tolerance, requiring circuit analysis.

Package risklow

All reviewed candidates use the same 0402 package, minimizing layout changes.

Sourcing risklow

Multiple suitable alternatives from major manufacturers are available.

Can it be replaced directly?

A direct drop-in is likely with GRT155C81E105KE13D, which matches the package, capacitance, tolerance, and dielectric, while offering a higher voltage rating.

Best replacement path

Upgrade to the automotive-grade Murata GRT155C81E105KE13D for a higher voltage rating and identical core parameters.

Main risk

The main risk when considering other alternatives is a mismatch in the dielectric material, leading to a reduced maximum operating temperature.
