Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility is determined by strict equivalence in the following parameters: capacitance value (1 pF), temperature coefficient (C0G/NP0), package form factor (0201/0603 Metric), mounting type (Surface Mount MLCC), and operating temperature range (-55°C to 125°C). All identified substitutes maintain these core electrical and mechanical specifications.

Substitute parts are grouped into three categories based on secondary parameter variations:

Tolerance Upgrade: CBR02C109B3GAC offers tighter tolerance (±0.1pF) while maintaining 25V rating and KEMET series continuity.

Direct Equivalent: GJM0335C1E1R0CB01D provides identical tolerance (±0.25pF) and voltage rating (25V) from Murata Electronics with equivalent performance characteristics.

Enhanced Specifications: GJM0335C1E1R0WB01D and GJM0335C1H1R0WB01D offer tighter tolerance (±0.05pF), with the latter providing voltage rating upgrade to 50V.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All identified substitute parts maintain Active product status and ROHS3 compliance. Selection between substitutes is determined by application-specific requirements:

CBR02C109B3GAC is selected when tighter tolerance (±0.1pF) is required within the 25V rating specification, with higher inventory availability (65713 units) supporting volume production requirements.

GJM0335C1E1R0CB01D provides direct electrical and mechanical equivalence to the original part with significantly higher inventory (193001 units), suitable for applications where tolerance and voltage specifications are non-negotiable.

GJM0335C1E1R0WB01D is selected for applications requiring tolerance improvement to ±0.05pF while maintaining 25V operation, with Murata Electronics supply chain continuity.

GJM0335C1H1R0WB01D is selected for circuits operating at elevated voltage levels up to 50V, providing both tolerance enhancement (±0.05pF) and voltage margin improvement over the original 25V specification.

All substitutes are certified for identical operating temperature range (-55°C to 125°C), MSL rating 1, and maintain equivalent high-frequency performance characteristics for RF and microwave applications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can CBR02C109B3GAC replace CBR02C109C3GAC in all applications?

A: CBR02C109B3GAC is electrically compatible with tighter tolerance specification (±0.1pF versus ±0.25pF). It is suitable for replacement in applications where the original tolerance is acceptable. Packaging differs (Cut Tape & Digi-Reel versus Tape & Reel), requiring assembly process verification.

Q: What is the primary difference between KEMET and Murata substitute options?

A: Both manufacturers provide equivalent 1 pF, 25V, C0G/NP0 capacitors in 0201 package. Murata options (GJM series) offer higher inventory availability and tighter tolerance variants. Selection is based on supply chain preference and tolerance requirements.

Q: When should GJM0335C1H1R0WB01D be selected over the original part?

A: GJM0335C1H1R0WB01D is selected when circuit design requires 50V voltage rating capability, providing additional voltage margin. Tolerance is also improved to ±0.05pF. This part is suitable for designs operating above 25V or requiring enhanced voltage headroom.

Q: Are all substitute parts suitable for RF and microwave applications?

A: All substitute parts maintain C0G/NP0 temperature coefficient, high Q factor, and low ESR characteristics specified for RF and microwave applications. Electrical performance is equivalent across all identified substitutes.

Q: What packaging considerations apply when selecting substitutes?

A: Original part CBR02C109C3GAC is supplied in Tape & Reel format. CBR02C109B3GAC and GJM0335C1E1R0WB01D use Cut Tape & Digi-Reel packaging. GJM0335C1E1R0CB01D and GJM0335C1H1R0WB01D use Tape & Reel. Assembly equipment compatibility must be verified for packaging format changes.

Q: Do all substitutes meet the same compliance standards?

A: All identified substitutes are ROHS3 compliant, REACH unaffected, and classified as EAR99 with identical HTSUS code 8532.24.0020. MSL rating is 1 (Unlimited) for all parts, indicating no moisture sensitivity restrictions.
