Excellent upgrade from the same manufacturer with a higher 50V rating and active lifecycle.
GRM155R61A105KE15D is an obsolete 1µF 10V 0402 capacitor. Several active, pin-compatible replacements are available, often with higher voltage ratings, providing a robust upgrade path for new designs.
Upgrading voltage is generally safe. Check DC bias if critical.
All top candidates share the same 0402 package.
The recommended alternatives are active parts from major manufacturers.
No active, direct 10V replacement from Murata is listed, but several parts like GRM155R61H105KE05D (50V) are excellent, higher-voltage upgrades.
Murata's GRM155R61H105KE05D is the best upgrade, offering a higher 50V rating while being active and in the same series.
The primary risk is ensuring the replacement's DC bias characteristic (capacitance change with voltage) is acceptable for the application.
