A pin-compatible alternative from Chinocera with identical key specifications (22µF, 16V, ±10%, X5R, 1206).
Best Alternatives to GRM31CR61C226KE15L
GRM31CR61C226KE15L is an obsolete 22µF, 16V, X5R ceramic capacitor in a 1206 package. Several pin-compatible alternatives and upgrades are available from other manufacturers to ensure production continuity.
AI replacement insight
Package risklow
All recommended candidates use the same 1206 package, ensuring physical compatibility.
Electrical riskmedium
Using a part with wider tolerance (±20%) requires review. DC bias characteristics can also vary between manufacturers.
Sourcing risklow
The target is obsolete; all suggested alternatives are from active manufacturers, improving availability.
Can it be replaced directly?
Direct replacement for GRM31CR61C226KE15L should use only Datasheet verified or Strong match candidates; many approved options still require engineering review.
Best replacement path
The best replacement path is HGC1206R5226K160NSPJ, which offers identical key parameters. Alternatively, TCC1206X5R226K250HT and HGC1206R5226K350NSPJ are excellent upgrade options with higher voltage ratings.
Main risk
The main risk is using a part with wider tolerance, like CL31A226MOCLNNC (±20%), which could impact performance in sensitive analog or timing circuits.
