Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Selection (Direct Replacement): C0805C162J5GAC7800 (KEMET) is the preferred substitute when inventory of the original C0805C162J3GAC7800 is unavailable. This part maintains identical capacitance, tolerance, and package specifications while providing an upgraded 50V voltage rating. Both parts are manufactured by KEMET, carry Active product status, and maintain ROHS3 compliance.

Enhanced Specification Alternative: C0805C162F5GAC7800 (KEMET) offers the highest tolerance specification (±1%) with a 50V voltage rating. This part is suitable for applications requiring tighter capacitance tolerance while maintaining all other electrical and mechanical compatibility with the original part.

Alternative Manufacturer Option: GRM2165C2A162JA01D (Murata Electronics) provides the highest voltage rating (100V) with ±5% tolerance and Active product status. This part is suitable for designs requiring maximum voltage margin or when Murata sourcing is preferred. Physical dimensions remain identical to the original part.

Legacy Sourcing: GRM2165C1H162JA01D (Murata Electronics) is designated as Not For New Designs but remains available with 50V rating and ±5% tolerance. This part should be used only for replacement or repair of existing assemblies.

All substitute parts maintain ROHS3 compliance, Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 (Unlimited), and REACH Unaffected status consistent with the original part.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can C0805C162J5GAC7800 be used as a direct replacement for C0805C162J3GAC7800?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical capacitance (1600 pF), tolerance (±5%), temperature coefficient (C0G/NP0), package (0805), and operating temperature range (-55°C to 125°C). The C0805C162J5GAC7800 has a higher voltage rating (50V vs. 25V), which is an acceptable upgrade for direct substitution in circuits designed for 25V operation.

Q: What is the difference between C0805C162F5GAC7800 and C0805C162J5GAC7800?

A: Both parts are manufactured by KEMET with 1600 pF capacitance, 50V rating, and 0805 package. The primary difference is tolerance: C0805C162F5GAC7800 has ±1% tolerance while C0805C162J5GAC7800 has ±5% tolerance. The F-suffix indicates tighter tolerance specification.

Q: Are Murata GRM parts compatible with KEMET C0805 parts?

A: Yes, for the specified parameters. GRM2165C1H162JA01D and GRM2165C2A162JA01D are compatible with C0805C162J3GAC7800 in terms of capacitance, package, temperature coefficient, and operating range. All parts maintain identical 0805 (2012 Metric) package dimensions and surface mount mounting type. Verify manufacturer-specific datasheets for any application-specific requirements.

Q: Why is GRM2165C1H162JA01D marked as "Not For New Designs"?

A: This designation indicates the part is in legacy status and Murata does not recommend it for new circuit designs. However, it remains available for replacement and repair applications. For new designs, GRM2165C2A162JA01D (Active status) is the preferred Murata alternative.

Q: Can I use GRM2165C2A162JA01D (100V) in place of C0805C162J3GAC7800 (25V)?

A: Yes. The 100V rating is a voltage upgrade that maintains full compatibility with circuits designed for 25V operation. All other electrical parameters (capacitance, tolerance, temperature coefficient) and mechanical parameters (package, dimensions) are identical or compatible.

Q: Do all substitute parts have the same physical dimensions?

A: All parts share the same length and width (0.079" x 0.049" / 2.00mm x 1.25mm). Thickness varies slightly: KEMET parts have 0.039" (1.00mm) maximum thickness while Murata GRM parts have 0.028" (0.70mm) maximum thickness. Both thicknesses are within standard 0805 package specifications and compatible with standard PCB assembly processes.

Q: Are all substitute parts RoHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. All identified substitute parts (C0805C162F5GAC7800, C0805C162J5GAC7800, GRM2165C1H162JA01D, and GRM2165C2A162JA01D) are ROHS3 Compliant with Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 (Unlimited) and REACH Unaffected status, matching the original C0805C162J3GAC7800.
