Murata Electronics
Automotive-grade upgrade with higher voltage rating (25V) in the same 0402 package. Matches all key electricals.
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.
Some alternatives have different dielectrics (X5R, X7S) or wider tolerance, requiring circuit analysis.
All reviewed candidates use the same 0402 package, minimizing layout changes.
Multiple suitable alternatives from major manufacturers are available.
A direct drop-in is likely with GRT155C81E105KE13D, which matches the package, capacitance, tolerance, and dielectric, while offering a higher voltage rating.
Upgrade to the automotive-grade Murata GRT155C81E105KE13D for a higher voltage rating and identical core parameters.
The main risk when considering other alternatives is a mismatch in the dielectric material, leading to a reduced maximum operating temperature.
