Is there a pin-compatible replacement for GRM155R6YA225ME11D?

This review did not identify a pin-compatible (0402 package) replacement. All viable alternatives have larger packages and require PCB layout modification.

What risks should I check before replacing GRM155R6YA225ME11D?

Primarily, verify the physical package size to ensure your PCB layout can accommodate a larger part. Also, review any differences in dielectric (e.g., X7R vs. X5R) for impact on your circuit's performance.

AI replacement insight

Package riskhigh

Target is 0402; alternatives are larger and require layout changes.

Electrical risklow

Most candidates have superior voltage and tolerance ratings.

Can it be replaced directly?

No direct pin-compatible replacement was identified. All viable alternatives require PCB layout changes due to larger package sizes.

Best replacement path

Search for 0402 MLCCs with 2.2µF capacitance, ≥35V, and X5R dielectric. If board space allows, GRT188R61H225KE13D is a strong candidate in a 0603 package.

Main risk

The primary risk is package mismatch. The target is a 0402 part, and alternatives are in larger packages (0603, 1206, 1210) that are not drop-in replacements.

Recommended alternatives

Functional alternative with higher voltage and tighter tolerance in a larger 0603 package.
