GRT188R61A226ME13D
Murata Electronics
Needs validationmedium risk
Electrically identical automotive-grade MLCC in the same 0603 package, but lacks the special interposer termination.
Best Alternatives to ZRB18AR61A226ME01L
Finding a replacement for the Murata ZRB18AR61A226ME01L 22uF 10V 0603 MLCC requires careful consideration of its special interposer board, which provides enhanced mechanical stress resistance.
AI replacement insight
Package riskmedium
Footprint matches, but mechanical termination is different, posing a reliability risk under stress.
Electrical risklow
Core electrical parameters are easily matched by many standard MLCCs.
Can it be replaced directly?
No direct drop-in replacement exists without caveats. While several 0603 22uF 10V MLCCs are available, they lack the ZRB series' unique interposer board for mechanical reliability.
Best replacement path
Use an automotive-grade MLCC like GRT188R61A226ME13D, which matches all electricals and package, but requires review to ensure the application does not need the ZRB series' mechanical stress relief.
Main risk
The primary risk is mechanical failure (cracking) if a standard MLCC is used in an application where the PCB flexes, as it lacks the target's stress-absorbing interposer.
