Can it be replaced directly?

Direct replacement for NTC2.5D-11 should use only Datasheet verified or Strong match candidates; many approved options still require engineering review.

Best replacement path

Start with same inrush NTC family and same lead pitch, then verify R25, current, B value, body size, and surge rating.

Main risk

Most candidates are sensing NTC beads or have major resistance/current mismatch.
