Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

A component qualifies as an equivalent or direct substitute for the C0603C100J2GAC based on the following critical parameters:

• Capacitance Value: Exact match at 10 pF
• Tolerance: ±5% maximum tolerance
• Voltage Rating: Minimum 200V
• Temperature Coefficient: C0G or NP0 designation required
• Package Configuration: 0603 (1608 Metric) surface-mount form factor
• Operating Temperature Range: Full range -55°C to 125°C
• RoHS Compliance: ROHS3 Compliant

The substitute part C0603C100J2GAC7867 from KEMET meets all these critical parameters and is therefore qualified as a direct functional equivalent.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can C0603C100J2GAC7867 be used as a direct replacement for C0603C100J2GAC? A: Yes. Both parts are electrically and mechanically equivalent. They share identical capacitance (10 pF), tolerance (±5%), voltage rating (200V), temperature coefficient (C0G/NP0), operating temperature range (-55°C to 125°C), and 0603 package configuration. Pin-for-pin substitution is supported.

Q: Are there physical mounting differences between these parts? A: Both components use identical 0603 (1608 Metric) surface-mount package with matching footprint requirements. The KEMET substitute has a maximum thickness of 0.034" (0.87mm) versus 0.035" (0.90mm) for the CDE original, representing a negligible variation that does not affect printed circuit board design or assembly clearances.

Q: What is the significance of the C0G/NP0 temperature coefficient designation? A: C0G (Class I) and NP0 (equivalent designation) specify ultra-stable temperature characteristics with minimal capacitance variation across the operating range of -55°C to 125°C. This stability is critical for frequency-dependent and precision analog applications.

Q: Is ROHS3 compliance maintained with the substitute part? A: Yes. The KEMET C0603C100J2GAC7867 maintains ROHS3 compliance, confirming restrictions on lead, cadmium, mercury, hexavalent chromium, polybrominated biphenyls, and polybrominated diphenyl ethers.

Q: What is the Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL) rating? A: Both components carry MSL 1 (Unlimited) classification, indicating no moisture-induced degradation risk during storage or handling. These components do not require controlled humidity storage conditions.
