Substitute Part Grouping Explanation
Substitute parts for the CL31C680JIFNFNE are classified based on strict electrical and mechanical parameter matching. All identified substitutes maintain identical capacitance (68 pF), tolerance (±5%), voltage rating (1000V), temperature coefficient (C0G/NP0), operating temperature range (-55°C to 125°C), and package designation (1206/3216 Metric). Substitution eligibility is determined exclusively by these parameters plus compliance certifications (RoHS3, REACH Unaffected, MSL 1). Packaging format variations (Cut Tape vs. Tape & Reel) do not affect electrical interchangeability but may influence procurement and assembly logistics. Physical thickness variations within the 1206 package envelope do not preclude substitution provided all other parameters align.

Engineering Selection Recommendations
Both identified substitute parts—CL31C680JIFNNNE (Samsung Electro-Mechanics) and GRM31A5C3A680JW01D (Murata Electronics)—are electrically and mechanically equivalent to the CL31C680JIFNFNE. All three parts maintain identical electrical parameters (68 pF, ±5%, 1000V, C0G/NP0) and operating temperature specifications (-55°C to 125°C). All parts carry Active product status with full RoHS3 compliance and REACH Unaffected certification, confirming regulatory alignment for current and future applications.
The CL31C680JIFNNNE represents a direct Samsung manufacturer equivalent with identical packaging specifications and thickness (1.40mm maximum). This substitute is optimal when maintaining single-source supplier consistency or when existing design documentation specifies Samsung components.
The GRM31A5C3A680JW01D from Murata Electronics provides equivalent electrical performance with a reduced maximum thickness of 1.00mm. This dimensional difference may be advantageous in space-constrained designs while maintaining full electrical interchangeability. Selection of the Murata part is appropriate when design clearance permits thinner component profiles or when Murata supply chain availability is preferred.
Packaging format differences (Cut Tape vs. Tape & Reel) reflect procurement and assembly logistics only and do not affect circuit performance or component functionality.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q: Are CL31C680JIFNNNE and GRM31A5C3A680JW01D direct replacements for CL31C680JIFNFNE?
A: Yes. Both parts match all critical electrical parameters: 68 pF capacitance, ±5% tolerance, 1000V rating, C0G/NP0 temperature coefficient, and -55°C to 125°C operating range. All three parts use identical 1206 (3216 Metric) package footprints with matching length (0.126") and width (0.063") dimensions. Electrical interchangeability is confirmed.
Q: Does the thickness difference between CL31C680JIFNFNE (1.40mm) and GRM31A5C3A680JW01D (1.00mm) affect compatibility?
A: No. Both thicknesses fall within the 1206 package specification envelope. The Murata part's reduced thickness (1.00mm vs. 1.40mm) provides additional design flexibility in space-constrained applications without compromising electrical performance or mechanical fit on standard PCB footprints.
Q: What is the difference between Cut Tape (CT) and Tape & Reel (TR) packaging?
A: Packaging format affects procurement and assembly handling only. Cut Tape packaging is supplied in smaller quantities on tape strips, while Tape & Reel format provides higher-volume reels for automated assembly lines. Electrical and mechanical specifications remain identical regardless of packaging format.
Q: Are all three parts RoHS3 compliant?
A: Yes. CL31C680JIFNFNE, CL31C680JIFNNNE, and GRM31A5C3A680JW01D all carry ROHS3 Compliant certification with REACH Unaffected status, confirming compliance with current environmental regulations.
Q: Can I use these parts interchangeably in existing designs?
A: Yes, provided your PCB footprint accommodates the 1206 (3216 Metric) package dimensions. All three parts share identical electrical specifications and operating parameters. Verify that your design does not impose thickness constraints that would exclude the Murata part (1.00mm) or require the Samsung thickness (1.40mm).
Q: What is the MSL rating and why does it matter?
A: All three parts carry MSL 1 (Unlimited) rating, indicating no moisture sensitivity restrictions. These parts can be stored and handled without special moisture-control procedures, simplifying procurement and inventory management.
