Is there a pin-compatible replacement for GRM21A5C2E560JW01D?

Several parts share the same 0805 package and 2-pin layout, making them physically compatible. However, none have an identical 56pF capacitance, so they are not direct electrical drop-in replacements and require circuit analysis.

What risks should I check before replacing GRM21A5C2E560JW01D?

The main risk is the capacitance mismatch. Changes in capacitance can affect circuit timing, filter characteristics, and stability. Always verify the new capacitance value is acceptable for your application.
