Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the CBR06C159BAGAC are qualified based on electrical and mechanical parameter equivalence. The following criteria determine substitution eligibility:

Electrical Parameters:

• Capacitance: 1.5 pF (exact match required)
• Tolerance: ±0.1pF (exact match required)
• Voltage Rating: 250V (exact match required)
• Temperature Coefficient: C0G/NP0 (exact match required)
• Operating Temperature Range: -55°C ~ 125°C (exact match required)

Mechanical Parameters:

• Package: 0603 (1608 Metric) (exact match required)
• Mounting Type: Surface Mount, MLCC (exact match required)
• Packaging Format: Tape & Reel (TR) (exact match required)

Compliance Parameters:

• RoHS3 Compliance (required)
• MSL Rating: 1 (Unlimited) (required)

All identified substitute parts meet these criteria and are functionally interchangeable with the main part in RF and microwave applications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All three parts—CBR06C159BAGAC (KEMET), QSCP251Q1R5B1GV001T (Johanson Technology Inc.), and VJ0603D1R5BXPAJ (Vishay Vitramon)—are active production components with ROHS3 compliance and MSL 1 ratings. Each part is suitable for RF and microwave applications requiring 1.5 pF capacitance at 250V with C0G/NP0 stability.

KEMET CBR06C159BAGAC is the primary specification part with 1443 units in current inventory. It features the CBR-SMD RF C0G series designation and is specified for high Q, low loss, and ultra-low ESR performance.

Johanson Technology Inc. QSCP251Q1R5B1GV001T provides the highest inventory availability with 48,382 units in stock. Dimensional specifications show 0.062" L x 0.032" W (1.57mm x 0.81mm) with 0.035" (0.89mm) maximum thickness, representing minimal variation from the main part.

Vishay Vitramon VJ0603D1R5BXPAJ offers 6,912 units in inventory and is designated as VJ HIFREQ series. Dimensional specifications match the main part at 0.063" L x 0.031" W (1.60mm x 0.80mm) with 0.037" (0.94mm) maximum thickness. REACH status information is available upon request.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are these parts electrically interchangeable with the CBR06C159BAGAC?

A: Yes. All substitute parts match the CBR06C159BAGAC in capacitance (1.5 pF), tolerance (±0.1pF), voltage rating (250V), temperature coefficient (C0G/NP0), and operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 125°C). They are electrically equivalent for RF and microwave applications.

Q: Do the substitute parts fit the same PCB footprint?

A: Yes. All parts use the 0603 (1608 Metric) package with surface-mount MLCC mounting type. Dimensional variations are within standard manufacturing tolerances for this package class and do not affect PCB layout compatibility.

Q: What is the difference between the three parts?

A: The three parts are functionally equivalent. Differences exist only in manufacturer designation, series naming, inventory levels, and minor dimensional tolerances. KEMET CBR06C159BAGAC features ultra-low ESR specifications. Johanson QSCP251Q1R5B1GV001T offers highest inventory availability. Vishay Vitramon VJ0603D1R5BXPAJ is designated as VJ HIFREQ series.

Q: Are all parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. All three parts are ROHS3 compliant with MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity ratings and EAR99 export classification.

Q: Can I use these parts interchangeably in production?

A: Yes. All parts meet identical electrical specifications, package requirements, and compliance standards. They are suitable for direct substitution in RF and microwave circuit applications.

Q: What is the tape and reel packaging format?

A: All parts are supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) format, the standard packaging for automated surface-mount assembly processes.
