All specifications match exactly, including 25V voltage rating, 3 pF capacitance, ±0.1pF tolerance, C0G/NP0 temperature coefficient, and 0201 package dimensions. The part is in active production status with RoHS3 compliance and MSL 1 rating. Packaging is supplied as Tape & Reel (TR), matching the original part format. This substitute is suitable for direct replacement without circuit design modification.

GRM0335C1H3R0BA01D (Murata Electronics) - Upgrade Equivalent

This part meets all electrical and mechanical specifications of the CL03C030BA3GNNC with the exception of voltage rating, which is rated at 50V instead of 25V. The higher voltage rating provides increased design margin and enhanced reliability in applications where voltage transients or margin requirements exist. All other parameters—capacitance, tolerance, temperature coefficient, operating temperature range, package dimensions, and compliance certifications—are identical. The part is in active production status. Packaging is supplied as Cut Tape (CT) & Digi-Reel®. Selection of this upgrade is appropriate when circuit design permits the higher voltage rating and enhanced voltage margin is beneficial.

C0603C0G1E030B030BG (TDK Corporation) - Parametric Equivalent

This part meets all electrical and mechanical specifications of the CL03C030BA3GNNC, including 25V voltage rating, 3 pF capacitance, ±0.1pF tolerance, C0G/NP0 temperature coefficient, and 0201 package dimensions. However, the product status is listed as obsolete, indicating this part is no longer in active production. RoHS3 compliance and MSL 1 rating are maintained. This substitute is suitable for direct replacement in active designs only if supply chain continuity is confirmed through the manufacturer or authorized distributors. New designs should consider active-status alternatives.

CBR02C309B3GAC (KEMET) - Parametric Equivalent

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can GRM0335C1H3R0BA01D (50V rating) be used in place of CL03C030BA3GNNC (25V rating)?

A: Yes. The GRM0335C1H3R0BA01D meets all electrical and mechanical specifications of the CL03C030BA3GNNC. The 50V voltage rating is higher than the 25V requirement, which is acceptable in circuit design. Higher voltage-rated capacitors do not degrade performance in lower-voltage applications. Selection of this part is appropriate when supply availability or design margin considerations favor the higher voltage rating.

Q: Are all substitute parts pin-compatible with the original CL03C030BA3GNNC?

A: Yes. All substitute parts listed share identical package specifications: 0201 (0603 Metric) with dimensions of 0.024" L x 0.012" W and maximum thickness of 0.013" (0.33mm). Surface mount MLCC components in this package form factor have standardized pad layouts. All listed substitutes are directly compatible with PCB designs created for the CL03C030BA3GNNC without modification to footprints or assembly procedures.

Q: What is the difference between Tape & Reel (TR) and Cut Tape (CT) & Digi-Reel® packaging?

A: Tape & Reel (TR) packaging supplies components on continuous carrier tape wound on reels, suitable for high-volume automated assembly. Cut Tape (CT) & Digi-Reel® packaging supplies components on cut tape segments or alternative reel formats, typically used for lower-volume production or mixed-component orders. Both packaging formats contain identical components. Selection between packaging types depends on assembly equipment compatibility and order quantity requirements, not component performance.

Q: Why is C0603C0G1E030B030BG listed as obsolete?

A: The C0603C0G1E030B030BG is marked as obsolete, indicating TDK Corporation has discontinued active production of this part number. Existing inventory may be available through authorized distributors, but long-term supply cannot be guaranteed. For new designs or ongoing production requiring sustained component availability, selection of active-status alternatives such as GRM0335C1E3R0BA01D, CBR02C309B3GAC, or CQ0201BRNPO8BN3R0 is recommended.

Q: Are all substitute parts RoHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. All substitute parts listed in this reference—GRM0335C1E3R0BA01D, GRM0335C1H3R0BA01D, C0603C0G1E030B030BG, CBR02C309B3GAC, and CQ0201BRNPO8BN3R0—are RoHS3 compliant. The original part CL03C030BA3GNNC is also RoHS3 compliant. RoHS3 compliance is maintained across all substitutes, ensuring regulatory conformance for applications subject to environmental restrictions on hazardous substances.

Q: What does MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity level mean?

A: MSL 1 (Unlimited) indicates the component has unlimited shelf life and does not require special moisture-control storage or handling procedures. All listed substitute parts carry MSL 1 rating, matching the original CL03C030BA3GNNC. Components with this rating can be stored at standard ambient conditions without desiccant packaging or controlled humidity environments.

Q: Can substitute parts be mixed in the same production batch?

A: Yes. All substitute parts meet identical electrical specifications (3 pF, ±0.1pF, 25V or higher, C0G/NP0, -55°C to 125°C) and mechanical specifications (0201 package, identical dimensions). From a circuit performance perspective, substitutes are interchangeable. However, manufacturing and quality documentation practices may require tracking of part numbers and manufacturers for traceability and compliance purposes. Consult internal quality and procurement procedures for specific requirements regarding part number mixing in production batches.
