Murata Electronics
A same-series upgrade from Murata with a higher 35V rating, matching all other key parameters.
Find and compare replacements for the Murata GRM21BR61C106KE15L, a 10µF 16V 0805 X5R ceramic capacitor. This page provides verified alternatives and engineering analysis.
Key parameters match or are improved. Secondary parameters need review.
All recommended alternatives use the identical 0805 package.
Direct replacement for GRM21BR61C106KE15L should use only Datasheet verified or Strong match candidates; many approved options still require engineering review.
Use CC0805KKX5R7BB106 for a direct cross-vendor match or GRM21BR6YA106KE43L for a same-series voltage upgrade.
The main risk when switching manufacturers is minor variations in secondary parameters like ESR and DC bias characteristics.
