Is there a pin-compatible replacement for HMK325C7475KN-TE?

No pin-compatible (1210 package) replacement with the same key specifications (4.7µF, 100V, X7S) has been identified in this review. Alternatives require board layout changes.

What risks should I check before replacing HMK325C7475KN-TE?

Check the package size, as alternatives are in a smaller 1206 case. Also, verify the dielectric material; using an X7R instead of X7S may affect performance in sensitive applications.

HMK325C7475KN-TE Alternatives, Datasheet & Cross Reference | TAIYO YUDEN

HMK325C7475KN-TE is a 4.7µF, 100V, X7S ceramic capacitor in a 1210 package. While no direct drop-in replacements were found, functional alternatives exist in smaller packages that require board layout changes.

AI replacement insight

Package riskhigh

All candidates are in a smaller 1206 package, requiring a PCB layout change.

Electrical riskmedium

Some candidates use an X7R dielectric, which is less stable than the target's X7S.

Sourcing risklow

Candidates are from major manufacturers and are actively produced.

Can it be replaced directly?

No direct drop-in replacement has been identified. All suitable candidates have a smaller package size (1206) or different electrical properties.

Best replacement path

Functional alternates like Murata's GRM31CC72A475KE11L offer identical electrical specs in a smaller 1206 package, requiring a board redesign.

Main risk

The primary risk is mechanical incompatibility, as all close alternatives are in a smaller 1206 package instead of the original 1210.

Recommended alternatives

Functionally equivalent with identical electrical specs but in a smaller 1206 package.
