GCM0335C1H5R9DA16J Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The GCM0335C1H5R9DA16J is a 5.9 pF ceramic capacitor manufactured by Murata Electronics, designed for automotive applications requiring high-reliability components. This surface-mount multilayer ceramic capacitor (MLCC) operates across a temperature range of -55°C to 125°C and is rated for 50V with C0G/NP0 temperature coefficient characteristics. The component is currently in active product status and carries AEC-Q200 automotive qualification. Substitute parts become necessary when addressing supply chain constraints, inventory availability, or design flexibility requirements while maintaining equivalent electrical and mechanical performance.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the GCM0335C1H5R9DA16J is determined by strict equivalence across all critical electrical and mechanical parameters. The substitute part must match the following criteria:

Electrical Parameters:

• Capacitance value: 5.9 pF
• Tolerance: ±0.5pF
• Rated voltage: 50V
• Temperature coefficient: C0G/NP0
• Operating temperature range: -55°C to 125°C

Mechanical Parameters:

• Package type: 0201 (0603 Metric)
• Physical dimensions: 0.024" L x 0.012" W (0.60mm x 0.30mm)
• Maximum thickness: 0.013" (0.33mm)
• Mounting type: Surface Mount, MLCC

Compliance & Certification:

• AEC-Q200 automotive qualification
• ROHS3 compliance
• Moisture Sensitivity Level 1

The substitute part UMK063CG5R9DTHF manufactured by Taiyo Yuden meets all specified electrical and mechanical parameters, enabling direct functional replacement in automotive applications.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Selection: GCM0335C1H5R9DA16J (Murata Electronics)

The Murata GCM0335C1H5R9DA16J is the recommended primary component for new designs. This part maintains active product status, ensuring long-term availability and continued manufacturer support. It carries full AEC-Q200 automotive qualification and ROHS3 compliance, meeting all regulatory requirements for automotive applications. Current inventory of 676 pieces supports immediate procurement.

Substitute Selection: UMK063CG5R9DTHF (Taiyo Yuden)

The Taiyo Yuden UMK063CG5R9DTHF provides complete electrical and mechanical equivalence to the primary part. All critical parameters—capacitance, tolerance, voltage rating, temperature coefficient, operating temperature range, package dimensions, and compliance certifications—are identical. However, this part carries a "Not For New Designs" product status designation. This substitute is appropriate for:

• Existing design maintenance and field replacements
• Supply chain diversification in established production
• Inventory supplementation when primary part availability is constrained

The higher current inventory of 1,115 pieces for the Taiyo Yuden part may provide supply chain flexibility for ongoing production requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the UMK063CG5R9DTHF be used as a direct replacement for the GCM0335C1H5R9DA16J in automotive applications?

A: Yes. Both parts are electrically and mechanically equivalent with identical capacitance (5.9 pF), tolerance (±0.5pF), voltage rating (50V), temperature coefficient (C0G/NP0), operating temperature range (-55°C to 125°C), and package dimensions (0201/0603 Metric). Both carry AEC-Q200 automotive qualification and ROHS3 compliance. The primary distinction is product status: the Murata part is active, while the Taiyo Yuden part is designated "Not For New Designs."

Q: What does "Not For New Designs" mean for the Taiyo Yuden part?

A: This designation indicates that Taiyo Yuden is not recommending the UMK063CG5R9DTHF for incorporation into new product designs. The part remains available and fully functional for existing applications, field replacements, and ongoing production of established designs. New designs should prioritize the active Murata GCM0335C1H5R9DA16J.

Q: Are the physical dimensions identical between both parts?

A: Yes. Both parts use the 0201 (0603 Metric) package with dimensions of 0.024" L x 0.012" W (0.60mm x 0.30mm) and maximum thickness of 0.013" (0.33mm). They are mechanically interchangeable on PCB layouts designed for this package size.

Q: Do both parts meet automotive compliance requirements?

A: Yes. Both the GCM0335C1H5R9DA16J and UMK063CG5R9DTHF carry AEC-Q200 automotive qualification, ROHS3 compliance, and Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 (Unlimited). Both are suitable for automotive applications within their specified operating parameters.

Q: What is the difference in packaging between the two parts?

A: The Murata part is supplied in standard packaging, while the Taiyo Yuden part is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) format. This difference affects handling and assembly processes but does not impact electrical or mechanical performance.

Q: Can I use either part interchangeably in my existing design?

A: For existing designs already in production or field deployment, either part can be used provided your supply chain and quality procedures accommodate the substitution. For new designs, the Murata GCM0335C1H5R9DA16J is the recommended choice due to its active product status and assured long-term availability.
