Is there a pin-compatible replacement for GRM155R61E104KA87D?

Yes, several pin-compatible replacements exist in the same 0402 package. GRM155R61H104JE14D (Murata) and CC0402KRX5R9BB104 (Yageo) are excellent options with the same X5R dielectric and upgraded voltage ratings.

What risks should I check before replacing GRM155R61E104KA87D?

Confirm the replacement has an 'Active' lifecycle. If choosing an alternative with an X7R dielectric instead of X5R, verify that the different capacitance vs. temperature and DC bias characteristics are acceptable for your circuit.

AI replacement insight

Sourcing riskmedium

Original part is NRND, requiring a switch to an active alternative.

Electrical risklow

For X5R alternatives, risk is low. For X7R, dielectric characteristics must be verified.

Package risklow

All top candidates use the same 0402 package.

Can it be replaced directly?

Yes, GRM155R61H104JE14D from Murata and CC0402KRX5R9BB104 from Yageo are strong candidates for direct replacement, offering upgraded voltage ratings and an active lifecycle.

Best replacement path

The best replacement is Murata's GRM155R61H104JE14D, which offers a higher voltage rating and tighter tolerance in the same package. For sourcing flexibility, Yageo's CC0402KRX5R9BB104 is an excellent cross-vendor alternative.

Main risk

The main risk is sourcing, as the original part is NRND. Some alternatives have a different (X7R) dielectric, which requires engineering review for compatibility.

Recommended alternatives

Active Murata MLCC with same package and capacitance, but higher voltage rating and tighter tolerance.
