• Capacitance value: 330 pF
• Capacitance tolerance: ±2%
• Voltage rating: 50V
• Temperature coefficient: C0G/NP0
• Operating temperature range: -55°C to 125°C
• Package format: 0603 (1608 Metric)
• Mounting type: Surface Mount, MLCC
• Physical dimensions: 0.063" L x 0.031" W (1.60mm x 0.80mm)
• Maximum thickness: 0.034" (0.87mm)
• RoHS compliance: ROHS3 Compliant
• Moisture sensitivity: MSL 1 (Unlimited)
• REACH status: REACH Unaffected

Substitution is valid when all parameters listed above are matched between the main part and the substitute part. Differences in manufacturer, series designation, or internal construction do not affect substitutability when electrical and mechanical specifications are identical.
