Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the C1808C331MZGAC7800 is determined by strict equivalence in the following critical parameters:

Mandatory Matching Parameters:

  • Capacitance value: 330 pF (exact match required)
  • Voltage rating: 2500V minimum (2.5kV)
  • Temperature coefficient: C0G/NP0 (required for temperature stability)
  • Package / Case: 1808 (4520 Metric) (required for mechanical fit)
  • Mounting type: Surface Mount, MLCC (required for assembly compatibility)
  • Physical dimensions: 4.70mm L × 2.00mm W × 2.15mm Max Thickness (required for PCB layout)

Allowable Variation Parameter:

  • Tolerance: The main part specifies ±20% tolerance. Substitute parts with tighter tolerance specifications (such as ±5%) are acceptable as they represent improved performance within the same electrical classification and do not compromise circuit design requirements.

All substitute parts must maintain active product status, ROHS3 compliance, and MSL 1 rating to ensure manufacturing availability and regulatory alignment.
