AI replacement insight
Electrical riskmedium
Dielectric or tolerance changes require circuit validation.
Package risklow
All suggested alternatives share the same 0603 package.
Can it be replaced directly?
No direct, drop-in replacement was found without caveats. All suitable alternatives require an engineering review due to differences in tolerance or dielectric type.
Best replacement path
If the application operates below 85°C, GRT188R61C106KE13D is a strong candidate with matching tolerance and higher voltage. Otherwise, if wider tolerance is acceptable, GRM188C81C106MA73D is a good option.
Main risk
The primary risks are a change in capacitance stability over temperature (X5R vs. X6S dielectric) or a wider capacitance tolerance (±20% vs. ±10%).
