• Package / Case: 0603 (1608 Metric)
• Mounting type: Surface Mount, MLCC
• AEC-Q200 automotive rating
• RoHS3 compliance

Secondary Compatibility Parameters:

• Voltage rating: 50V minimum (higher ratings are acceptable as upgrades)
• Tolerance: ±0.5pF or tighter (±0.25pF is acceptable)

Voltage Upgrade Substitutes:

06031A8R0D4T2A (KYOCERA AVX) and CGA3E2C0G2A080D080AA (TDK Corporation) provide 100V voltage rating compared to the 50V rating of CL10C080DB81PNC. All other electrical parameters remain identical: 8 pF capacitance, ±0.5pF tolerance, C0G/NP0 temperature coefficient, and -55°C to 125°C operating range. Both are Active product status with AEC-Q200 automotive qualification. These substitutes are applicable in circuits where higher voltage margin is required.

Extended Temperature Substitutes:

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can AC0603DRNPO9BN8R0 be used as a direct replacement for CL10C080DB81PNC?

A: Yes. AC0603DRNPO9BN8R0 is a parametric equivalent with identical electrical specifications: 8 pF capacitance, ±0.5pF tolerance, 50V rating, C0G/NP0 temperature coefficient, and -55°C to 125°C operating range. The only difference is packaging format (Cut Tape & Digi-Reel versus Tape & Reel). Both are Active product status with AEC-Q200 automotive qualification and ROHS3 compliance.

Q: What is the difference between C0G and NP0 temperature coefficients?

A: C0G and NP0 are equivalent designations for the same temperature coefficient classification. Both terms describe capacitors with negligible capacitance change across the operating temperature range. They are interchangeable in circuit design.

Q: Can I use a 100V rated capacitor in place of a 50V rated capacitor?

A: Yes. A higher voltage rating provides additional safety margin and is electrically compatible. Parts 06031A8R0D4T2A, CGA3E2C0G2A080D080AA, CGA3E2C0G2A080D080AD, and CGA3E2NP02A080D080AA all provide 100V rating while maintaining identical capacitance, tolerance, and temperature coefficient specifications. This substitution is valid for circuits operating at or below 50V.

Q: What does AEC-Q200 certification mean?

A: AEC-Q200 is an automotive qualification standard that certifies the component meets reliability and performance requirements for automotive applications. All listed substitute parts carry this certification, confirming suitability for automotive circuit designs.

Q: Are there differences in physical dimensions between substitute parts?

A: All substitute parts use the 0603 (1608 Metric) package with identical length (0.063" / 1.60mm) and width (0.031" / 0.80mm). Thickness specifications are 0.035" (0.90mm) for standard parts and 0.037" (0.95mm) for epoxy-mountable variants (CGA3E2C0G1H080D080AD and CGA3E2C0G2A080D080AD). These minor thickness variations do not affect PCB layout compatibility.

Q: What is the difference between Tape & Reel and Cut Tape & Digi-Reel packaging?

A: Both are surface mount packaging formats suitable for automated assembly. Tape & Reel is continuous reel packaging for high-volume production. Cut Tape & Digi-Reel provides smaller quantity packaging on tape segments. Both formats are compatible with standard pick-and-place assembly equipment. Selection depends on production volume and inventory management requirements.

Q: Why is GCM1885C1H8R0CA16D marked as Not For New Designs?

A: This Murata Electronics part is classified as legacy product. While it meets all electrical specifications and AEC-Q200 requirements, the manufacturer has discontinued active development and recommends alternative parts for new circuit designs. This part remains available for maintenance and legacy system support only.

Q: Can I use CGA3E2NP01H080D080AA or CGA3E2NP02A080D080AA in standard automotive applications?

A: Yes. Both parts are Active product status with AEC-Q200 automotive qualification and ROHS3 compliance. The extended operating temperature range (-55°C to 150°C) provides additional thermal margin compared to the standard -55°C to 125°C range. These parts are suitable for all standard automotive applications and are particularly beneficial for high-temperature engine compartment installations.

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

A: MSL 1 indicates the component has unlimited shelf life and requires no special moisture control during storage or handling. All listed substitute parts carry MSL 1 rating, eliminating moisture-related reliability concerns in manufacturing and storage environments.

Q: Are all substitute parts ROHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. All substitute parts listed carry ROHS3 compliance certification, confirming they meet environmental and hazardous substance restrictions. This compliance is maintained across all manufacturers and variants.
