A potential pin-compatible substitute with a higher voltage rating for increased reliability.
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.
Using a part with incorrect capacitance or lower voltage can cause circuit failure or safety issues.
A different package size (e.g., 1206 vs 0805) requires a new PCB layout and is not a drop-in replacement.
These are common capacitor values, but stock for any specific MPN should be verified.
Direct replacement for GRM21A5C2E101JW01D should use only Datasheet verified or Strong match candidates; many approved options still require engineering review.
The most direct replacement path is Yageo's CC0805JRNPOBBN101, which offers identical core specs with an upgraded voltage rating.
The main risk when substituting is selecting a part with a different capacitance value, a different package size, or an insufficient voltage rating.
