Murata Electronics
A strong alternative with a higher voltage rating (16V) in the same 0402 package and identical key specs.
Finding a substitute for the Murata GRM155R61A225KE01D 2.2µF 10V 0402 MLCC involves checking voltage, tolerance, and dielectric type. Several Murata parts offer higher voltage ratings or wider temperature ranges, but require careful review.
Changes in dielectric or tolerance require circuit validation.
All suggested candidates use the same 0402 package.
Direct replacement for GRM155R61A225KE01D should use only Datasheet verified or Strong match candidates; many approved options still require engineering review.
Upgrade to GRM155R61C225KE44D for a higher voltage rating with minimal changes.
The main risk when considering other alternatives is the change in dielectric material (from X5R to X6S or X7S), which impacts performance.
