CL10C2R2CC81PNC Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The CL10C2R2CC81PNC is a 2.2 pF ceramic capacitor manufactured by Samsung Electro-Mechanics, designed for high-reliability automotive applications. This surface-mount multilayer ceramic capacitor (MLCC) operates at 100V with C0G/NP0 temperature coefficient characteristics, ensuring stable capacitance across the -55°C to 125°C operating range. The part is currently in active production status with 3118 units available in inventory. Substitute parts become necessary when primary inventory is depleted, when supply chain disruptions occur, or when design flexibility permits equivalent component selection from alternative manufacturers while maintaining electrical and mechanical compatibility.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the CL10C2R2CC81PNC is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Electrical Parameters (Non-Negotiable):

• Capacitance value: 2.2 pF
• Tolerance: ±0.25pF
• Voltage rating: 100V minimum
• Temperature coefficient: C0G or NP0 designation

Mechanical Parameters (Non-Negotiable):

• Package code: 0603 (1608 Metric)
• Mounting type: Surface Mount, MLCC
• Physical dimensions: 0.063" L x 0.031" W (1.60mm x 0.80mm)
• Maximum thickness: 0.035" (0.90mm)

Compliance Parameters:

• AEC-Q200 automotive qualification
• ROHS3 compliance
• MSL rating: 1 (Unlimited)

Substitute parts must match all parameters listed above. Deviations in any electrical or mechanical specification render a part incompatible for direct substitution in the same circuit application.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Selection: CL10C2R2CC81PNC (Samsung Electro-Mechanics)

The Samsung part maintains active production status with established supply availability. This part is the preferred choice for new designs and ongoing production requirements where inventory is available.

Equivalent Substitute: CGA3E2C0G2A2R2C080AA (TDK Corporation)

The TDK part is a parametric equivalent meeting all electrical, mechanical, and compliance specifications. However, this part carries a "Last Time Buy" product status designation, indicating that TDK has announced end-of-life for this component. While currently available with higher inventory (5815 units), this part should be selected only when Samsung inventory is unavailable or when existing designs already qualify this TDK part number. Long-term production programs should transition to the Samsung part to ensure sustained supply continuity.

Compliance Basis for Substitution:

Both parts carry AEC-Q200 automotive qualification, ROHS3 compliance, and MSL 1 rating. Both are suitable for automotive applications requiring high-reliability ceramic capacitors. The substitution is valid based on identical electrical parameters, mechanical compatibility, and regulatory compliance.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can CGA3E2C0G2A2R2C080AA replace CL10C2R2CC81PNC in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both parts are parametrically equivalent across all critical specifications: 2.2 pF capacitance, ±0.25pF tolerance, 100V rating, C0G/NP0 temperature coefficient, 0603 package, and AEC-Q200 qualification. Direct substitution is electrically and mechanically compatible.

Q: What is the significance of "Last Time Buy" status on the TDK part?

A: Last Time Buy status indicates that TDK has announced discontinuation of the CGA3E2C0G2A2R2C080AA. While inventory is currently available, this part will not be produced indefinitely. For long-term production programs, the Samsung CL10C2R2CC81PNC is the recommended primary source.

Q: Are there any thermal or frequency performance differences between these parts?

A: Both parts specify identical operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 125°C) and identical C0G/NP0 temperature coefficient. No thermal performance differences are indicated in the provided specifications. Frequency performance characteristics are not provided in the available data.

Q: Can these parts be used interchangeably on the same PCB assembly?

A: Yes. Both parts use identical 0603 (1608 Metric) package dimensions (0.063" L x 0.031" W, 0.035" max thickness) and surface-mount mounting type. PCB footprints, reflow profiles, and assembly processes are compatible.

Q: What compliance certifications apply to both parts?

A: Both parts are AEC-Q200 qualified for automotive applications, ROHS3 compliant, and carry MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity rating. Both are REACH Unaffected and classified as EAR99 for export control purposes.

Q: If I need additional inventory beyond the 3118 units available for the Samsung part, should I source the TDK equivalent?

A: The TDK part is a valid parametric equivalent with 5815 units in stock. However, verify that your design documentation and qualification records permit use of the TDK part number. If your design is locked to Samsung, contact Samsung for extended lead time availability rather than substituting manufacturers.
