AEC-Q200 qualified upgrade with soft termination; requires layout change from 0402 to 0603 package.
The Murata GRM155R62A104KE14D is an NRND 0.1µF 100V 0402 MLCC. Direct replacements are unavailable, but functional alternatives exist in larger packages like 0603, requiring a PCB redesign.
All alternatives are in larger packages (0603, 1206) and are not drop-in compatible.
Electrically similar parts are available. Dielectric change from X5R to X7R is generally an improvement.
The target is NRND, but many active alternatives exist in different packages.
There are no direct pin-compatible replacements for GRM155R62A104KE14D. All suitable alternatives require a PCB layout change due to different package sizes.
Redesign the PCB for a modern 0.1µF, 100V capacitor in an 0402 or 0603 package with an X5R or X7R dielectric, such as Murata's GRM series.
The primary risk is mechanical incompatibility; no alternatives fit the original 0402 footprint. A board redesign is mandatory.

The best alternative depends on your ability to redesign the PCB. For minimal change, consider an 0603 part like GRM188R72A104KA35J. If redesign is not possible, no direct replacement exists.
