Package: 0603 (1608 Metric)Murata Manufacturing Co., Ltd.Ceramic CapacitorsCapacitance: 1 µFRated Voltage: 25 VTolerance: ±10%Dielectric: X5RPackage / Case: 0603 (1608 Metric)

The Murata GRM188R61E105KA12D is an obsolete 1µF, 25V, X5R ceramic capacitor in a 0603 package. Active pin-compatible and upgraded alternatives are available to ensure supply chain continuity.

AI replacement insight

Electrical risklow

Low for pin-compatible match; medium for X7R alternatives, which require design review.

Package risklow

All recommended alternatives use the same 0603 package.

Sourcing risklow

The target is obsolete; active replacements are readily available from multiple vendors.

Can it be replaced directly?

Yes, Samsung CL10A105KA8NNNC is a pin-compatible replacement for GRM188R61E105KA12D, matching all critical parameters.

Best replacement path

Samsung CL10A105KA8NNNC is a direct pin-to-pin replacement with identical key specifications and an active lifecycle.

Main risk

The main risk is selecting an alternative with a different dielectric (e.g., X7R vs. X5R), which affects capacitance stability over temperature and voltage.
