CL10B102KB8SFNC Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The CL10B102KB8SFNC is a 1000 pF ±10% 50V ceramic capacitor manufactured by Samsung Electro-Mechanics in the 0603 (1608 Metric) package with X7R temperature coefficient. This multilayer ceramic capacitor (MLCC) is designed for general-purpose applications and is currently in active product status. The part is ROHS3 compliant with MSL 1 (unlimited moisture sensitivity level).

Substitute parts are necessary when the original part becomes unavailable, when packaging requirements change, or when design specifications require enhanced features such as automotive-grade ratings or soft termination for boardflex-sensitive applications.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Samsung Electro-Mechanics - Active Status Parts:

CL10B102KB8WPJC and CL10B102KB8WPNC are recommended as primary substitutes. Both parts maintain identical electrical specifications to the original CL10B102KB8SFNC while offering enhanced features. CL10B102KB8WPJC includes soft termination for boardflex-sensitive applications and is available in Cut Tape & Digi-Reel® packaging with 214,730 units in stock. CL10B102KB8WPNC provides the same soft termination feature in Tape & Reel format with 228,200 units available. Both carry AEC-Q200 automotive qualification.

CL10B102KB8NNNC offers the highest inventory availability (567,700 units) in Cut Tape & Digi-Reel® packaging and maintains active product status for general-purpose applications.

Samsung Electro-Mechanics - Parametric Equivalents:

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can I substitute CL10B102KB8SFNC with any of the listed parts?

A: Yes, all listed parts are electrically equivalent when the mandatory parameters match: 1000 pF capacitance, ±10% tolerance, 50V (or higher) rating, X7R temperature coefficient, and 0603 package. Differences in packaging format (Tape & Reel vs. Cut Tape & Digi-Reel®) do not affect electrical performance.

Q: What is the difference between the Samsung parts with different suffixes?

A: The suffix codes indicate packaging format and feature variations. Parts ending in "WPJC" or "WPNC" include soft termination for boardflex-sensitive applications and carry AEC-Q200 automotive qualification. Parts ending in "NFNC," "NNNC," or "NNWC" are general-purpose variants. The letter before the final "C" indicates packaging: "J" = Cut Tape & Digi-Reel®, "N" = Tape & Reel.

Q: Is CL10B102KB85PNL a suitable substitute?

A: No. Although CL10B102KB85PNL is electrically equivalent, it is marked "Not For New Designs." This designation indicates the part is in end-of-life status and should not be selected for new product development.

Q: Can I use C1608X7R2A102K080AA (100V rated) instead of the 50V original?

A: Yes. The 100V-rated part is electrically compatible and will function correctly in applications designed for 50V operation. Higher voltage rating provides additional safety margin. However, this substitution should be verified against specific circuit requirements and cost considerations.

Q: What is the difference between soft termination and standard termination?

A: Soft termination reduces mechanical stress on component leads during board flexing, making it suitable for boardflex-sensitive applications. Standard termination is appropriate for rigid PCB assemblies. Both types are electrically equivalent.

Q: Which substitute offers the best inventory availability?

A: C1608X7R1H102K080AE from TDK Corporation has the highest inventory with 1,004,666 units in stock. Among Samsung parts, CL10B102KB8NNNC offers 567,700 units.

Q: Are all listed parts ROHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. All substitute parts listed are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, matching the compliance status of the original CL10B102KB8SFNC.

Q: What packaging format should I select?

A: Selection depends on assembly equipment and process requirements. Cut Tape & Digi-Reel® format is suitable for mixed-volume production and manual assembly. Tape & Reel format is optimized for high-volume automated assembly. Electrical performance is identical regardless of packaging format.
