AI replacement insight
Package riskhigh
Selecting a non-0603 part requires a new PCB layout.
Electrical risklow
Many available MLCCs match or exceed the target's electrical specifications.
Can it be replaced directly?
Yes, GRM188R61E106KA73D is a direct, pin-compatible replacement with the benefit of tighter tolerance.
Best replacement path
Upgrade to a pin-compatible MLCC with tighter tolerance or higher voltage, such as Murata's GRM188R61E106KA73D.
Main risk
The main risk is selecting a part with a different package size (e.g., 0805) which requires a PCB redesign.
