Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility is determined by strict equivalence in the following parameters: capacitance value (3 pF), tolerance (±0.25pF), voltage rating (100V), temperature coefficient (C0G/NP0), package format (0603/1608 Metric), and mounting type (Surface Mount MLCC). All identified substitutes maintain these core electrical and mechanical specifications. Operating temperature range variations and series designations do not preclude substitution when all primary parameters align. Compliance certifications (ROHS3, MSL 1) are consistent across all parts.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All four parts meet the core electrical and mechanical requirements for direct substitution. Selection between TDK Corporation variants (C1608NP02A030C080AA, C1608C0G2A030C080AA, CGA3E2NP02A030C080AA) and the KYOCERA AVX alternative (06031A3R0CAT2A) depends on application-specific temperature requirements and supply chain considerations.

For applications requiring the full -55°C to 150°C operating range, C1608NP02A030C080AA and CGA3E2NP02A030C080AA are preferred. CGA3E2NP02A030C080AA carries AEC-Q200 automotive qualification and is designated for automotive applications, making it suitable for designs requiring automotive-grade components.

For general purpose applications where the -55°C to 125°C range is sufficient, C1608C0G2A030C080AA and 06031A3R0CAT2A provide equivalent performance. All parts maintain ROHS3 compliance and MSL 1 rating, ensuring compatibility with standard surface mount assembly processes.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can C1608C0G2A030C080AA replace C1608NP02A030C080AA in all applications?

A: C1608C0G2A030C080AA is electrically equivalent for capacitance, tolerance, voltage, and temperature coefficient. The operating temperature range differs (-55°C to 125°C versus -55°C to 150°C). Substitution is valid for applications operating within the -55°C to 125°C window.

Q: What is the difference between CGA3E2NP02A030C080AA and the standard C1608NP02A030C080AA?

A: CGA3E2NP02A030C080AA is the automotive-qualified variant with AEC-Q200 rating. Electrical and mechanical specifications are identical. Use CGA3E2NP02A030C080AA for automotive applications or when AEC-Q200 certification is required.

Q: Is the KYOCERA AVX part 06031A3R0CAT2A mechanically compatible?

A: Yes. The 06031A3R0CAT2A maintains the 0603 package format with dimensions of 1.60mm L x 0.81mm W x 0.90mm maximum thickness. The 0.01mm width variation is within standard manufacturing tolerances and does not affect PCB footprint compatibility.

Q: Are all substitute parts ROHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. All four parts carry ROHS3 compliance certification and MSL 1 (unlimited) moisture sensitivity rating, ensuring compatibility with standard lead-free assembly processes.

Q: Which part should be selected for high-temperature applications?

A: For applications requiring operation at temperatures above 125°C up to 150°C, select either C1608NP02A030C080AA or CGA3E2NP02A030C080AA. Both support the full -55°C to 150°C range.
