Find and compare replacements for the Murata GRM21A5C2E101JW01D, a 100pF 250V 0805 C0G capacitor. Key factors for substitution are matching capacitance and package, while ensuring voltage is equal or higher.

AI replacement insight

Electrical riskhigh

Using a part with incorrect capacitance or lower voltage can cause circuit failure or safety issues.

Package riskhigh

A different package size (e.g., 1206 vs 0805) requires a new PCB layout and is not a drop-in replacement.

Sourcing risklow

These are common capacitor values, but stock for any specific MPN should be verified.

Can it be replaced directly?

Direct replacement for GRM21A5C2E101JW01D should use only Datasheet verified or Strong match candidates; many approved options still require engineering review.

Best replacement path

The most direct replacement path is Yageo's CC0805JRNPOBBN101, which offers identical core specs with an upgraded voltage rating.

Main risk

The main risk when substituting is selecting a part with a different capacitance value, a different package size, or an insufficient voltage rating.
