Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility is determined by strict adherence to the following parameters:

Primary Substitution Criteria:

• Capacitance: 8 pF (exact match required)
• Tolerance: ±0.5pF (exact match required)
• Package / Case: 0603 (1608 Metric) (exact match required)
• Mounting Type: Surface Mount, MLCC (exact match required)
• Size / Dimension: 0.063" L x 0.031" W (1.60mm x 0.80mm) (exact match required)
• Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL): 1 (Unlimited) (exact match required)

Secondary Substitution Parameters (Allowable Variations):

• Voltage - Rated: 50V or higher (uprating permitted)
• Temperature Coefficient: CH or C0G/NP0 (C0G/NP0 provides wider operating temperature range)
• Operating Temperature Range: -25°C ~ 85°C or wider (expansion permitted)
• Thickness (Max): 0.035" (0.90mm) or thinner (reduction permitted)

Four substitute parts meet these criteria with varying compliance and availability profiles.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

For Existing Designs (Direct Replacement): C1608CH2A080D080AA provides the closest functional match to the obsolete C1608CH1H080D080AA. Both maintain CH temperature coefficient and identical capacitance/tolerance specifications. The 100V voltage rating provides additional design margin. Last Time Buy status indicates limited future availability; procurement should prioritize this option for near-term production runs.

For New Designs (Recommended): C0603C809D5GAC7867 (KEMET) is the preferred selection. Active product status ensures long-term availability and supply chain stability. C0G/NP0 temperature coefficient expands the operating temperature range to -55°C ~ 125°C, supporting broader application environments. ROHS3 compliance and low ESL characteristics align with current manufacturing standards. Inventory of 886 units supports immediate deployment.

Alternative with Extended Temperature Range: GRM1885C1H8R0DA01D (Murata Electronics) offers C0G/NP0 temperature coefficient with -55°C ~ 125°C operating range and highest inventory availability (63236 units). Not For New Designs status does not preclude use in existing production; this part remains suitable for ongoing manufacturing support.

Voltage Uprating Option: C1608CH2A080D080AA at 100V rated voltage provides enhanced reliability margin for applications subject to transient overvoltage conditions while maintaining identical physical footprint and thermal characteristics.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can C1608CH2A080D080AA replace C1608CH1H080D080AA in existing designs? A: Yes. Both parts share identical capacitance (8 pF), tolerance (±0.5pF), package (0603), and physical dimensions. The 100V rating of C1608CH2A080D080AA is a direct uprating that maintains full backward compatibility. CH temperature coefficient and MSL 1 rating are identical.

Q: What is the difference between CH and C0G/NP0 temperature coefficients? A: CH temperature coefficient specifies capacitance change over -25°C ~ 85°C operating range. C0G/NP0 (also called NP0) provides tighter capacitance stability over a wider temperature range (-55°C ~ 125°C). For applications requiring extended temperature operation or tighter capacitance tolerance across temperature extremes, C0G/NP0 parts (C1608C0G1H080D080AA, GRM1885C1H8R0DA01D, C0603C809D5GAC7867) are appropriate.

Q: Are all substitute parts physically interchangeable? A: Yes. All five parts share identical package designation (0603 / 1608 Metric), footprint dimensions (0.063" L x 0.031" W), and maximum thickness specifications (0.035" or 0.034"). PCB layout and reflow profiles require no modification.

Q: Which substitute part has the best long-term availability? A: C0603C809D5GAC7867 (KEMET) carries Active product status, ensuring continued manufacturing and supply chain support. GRM1885C1H8R0DA01D (Murata) maintains Not For New Designs status but demonstrates highest current inventory (63236 units), supporting extended production runs.

Q: Does ROHS3 compliance affect electrical performance? A: No. ROHS3 compliance indicates manufacturing process restrictions on hazardous substances and does not alter capacitance, voltage rating, or temperature coefficient specifications. All ROHS3-compliant substitutes (C1608C0G1H080D080AA, GRM1885C1H8R0DA01D, C0603C809D5GAC7867) maintain identical electrical performance to the original part.

Q: Can I use C0603C809D5GAC7867 in applications originally designed for C1608CH1H080D080AA? A: Yes. Electrical specifications (8 pF, ±0.5pF, 50V) and physical package are identical. The C0G/NP0 temperature coefficient provides superior stability across temperature extremes compared to CH. Thickness is 0.034" versus 0.035" maximum, which is a favorable reduction that improves thermal performance.
