CL10B153KB8NNWC Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The CL10B153KB8NNWC is a 0.015 µF ceramic capacitor manufactured by Samsung Electro-Mechanics, rated for 50V with X7R temperature coefficient in 0603 (1608 Metric) surface mount package. This multilayer ceramic capacitor (MLCC) is designed for general-purpose applications including bypass and decoupling functions. The part is currently in active production status with ROHS3 compliance and unlimited moisture sensitivity rating (MSL 1).

Equivalent and substitute parts are identified based on matching electrical specifications (capacitance, voltage rating, tolerance, temperature coefficient) and mechanical compatibility (package size, mounting type, physical dimensions). Substitute parts from alternative manufacturers provide functional equivalence while maintaining the same performance envelope.

Voltage Rating: 50V minimum (equal or higher acceptable)
Tolerance: ±10% (equal or tighter acceptable)
Temperature Coefficient: X7R (exact match for stable performance across temperature range)
Operating Temperature: -55°C to 125°C (minimum requirement)

Mechanical Compatibility Requirements:

Package: 0603 (1608 Metric) surface mount
Mounting Type: Surface Mount, MLCC
Physical Dimensions: Compatible with 0603 footprint specifications
Thickness: Maximum 0.035" (0.90mm) or equivalent metric specification

Compliance Requirements:

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Parametric Equivalent (Packaging Variant): CL10B153KB8NNNC from Samsung Electro-Mechanics is a direct parametric equivalent differing only in packaging format (Cut Tape versus Bulk). Selection depends on procurement and assembly requirements. Both parts maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications with Active product status.

Direct Equivalents (50V, ±10% Tolerance): The following parts provide direct functional equivalence with identical electrical specifications:

C0603C153K5RAC7867 (KEMET): Active status, Tape & Reel packaging, thickness 0.034" (0.87mm)
KGM15AR71H153KT (KYOCERA AVX): Active status, Tape & Reel packaging, thickness 0.035" (0.90mm)
AC0603KPX7R9BB153 (YAGEO): Active status, Tape & Reel packaging, AEC-Q200 rated for automotive applications
AC0603KRX7R9BB153 (YAGEO): Active status, Tape & Reel packaging, AEC-Q200 rated for automotive applications
CGA3E2X7R1H153K080AA (TDK Corporation): Active status, Tape & Reel packaging, AEC-Q200 rated for automotive applications

All direct equivalents maintain ROHS3 compliance and MSL 1 rating. Selection among these parts is based on supply availability, packaging preference, and application-specific certifications (AEC-Q200 for automotive use).

Upgrade Options (Enhanced Specifications): C0603C153J5RAC7867 (KEMET) provides tighter tolerance (±5% versus ±10%) while maintaining 50V rating and 0603 package. This upgrade is suitable for applications requiring improved capacitance accuracy.

C0603C153K1RAC7867 (KEMET) and C1608X7R2A153K080AA (TDK Corporation) provide higher voltage rating (100V versus 50V) in the same 0603 package. These upgrades are suitable for applications requiring voltage margin or operating in higher voltage environments. C1608X7R2A153K080AA carries "Not For New Designs" status; C0603C153K1RAC7867 is recommended for new designs.

Obsolete Part: CGJ3E2X7R1H153K080AA (TDK Corporation) is marked Obsolete. While inventory is available (2,958 pcs), this part should not be selected for new designs. Active alternatives from TDK (CGA3E2X7R1H153K080AA) are available.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can CL10B153KB8NNWC be replaced with any 0.015 µF capacitor in 0603 package?

A: No. Substitution requires matching all key parameters: capacitance (0.015 µF exact), voltage rating (50V minimum), temperature coefficient (X7R), tolerance (±10% or tighter), and operating temperature range (-55°C to 125°C). Package size alone is insufficient for compatibility.

Q: What is the difference between CL10B153KB8NNWC and CL10B153KB8NNNC?

A: Both parts are electrically and mechanically identical. The difference is packaging format: CL10B153KB8NNWC is supplied in Bulk packaging, while CL10B153KB8NNNC is supplied in Cut Tape (CT). Selection depends on assembly line requirements and procurement preferences.

Q: Are YAGEO AC0603KPX7R9BB153 and AC0603KRX7R9BB153 interchangeable?

A: Yes. Both parts have identical electrical specifications (0.015 µF, ±10%, 50V, X7R) and mechanical dimensions (0603 package). Both carry AEC-Q200 automotive qualification. Selection between them is based on supply availability.

Q: Can I use C0603C153K1RAC7867 (100V) instead of CL10B153KB8NNWC (50V)?

A: Yes. The 100V-rated part is electrically compatible as a direct substitute. Higher voltage rating provides additional safety margin and is suitable for applications where voltage headroom is beneficial. All other parameters (capacitance, tolerance, temperature coefficient, package) are identical.

Q: Why is CGJ3E2X7R1H153K080AA marked Obsolete?

A: CGJ3E2X7R1H153K080AA from TDK Corporation is designated Obsolete, indicating it is no longer recommended for new designs. Active alternatives with identical specifications are available, including CGA3E2X7R1H153K080AA from the same manufacturer.

Q: What does AEC-Q200 certification mean?

A: AEC-Q200 is an automotive qualification standard for passive components. Parts carrying this certification (such as AC0603KPX7R9BB153, AC0603KRX7R9BB153, and CGA3E2X7R1H153K080AA) meet automotive industry reliability and performance requirements. These parts are suitable for automotive applications where such certification is required.

Q: Are all substitute parts ROHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. All parts listed in this reference maintain ROHS3 compliance and MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity rating, matching the compliance profile of CL10B153KB8NNWC.

Q: What is the significance of thickness specifications (0.034" vs 0.035")?

A: Both thickness values fall within acceptable 0603 package specifications and are mechanically compatible with standard 0603 footprints. The minor difference (0.001" or 0.025mm) does not affect PCB assembly or functionality. Both dimensions are within industry tolerance for surface mount components.
