Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution for the GCM1885C1H7R9DA16D is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Capacitance value: 7.9 pF (exact match required)
• Voltage rating: 50V minimum
• Temperature coefficient: C0G/NP0 (mandatory for stability)
• Package format: 0603 (1608 Metric) surface mount
• Operating temperature range: -55°C ~ 125°C minimum
• Mounting type: Surface Mount MLCC
• Physical dimensions: Compatible with 0603 footprint

The substitute part CBR06C799B5GAC from KEMET meets all these criteria. While it features a tighter tolerance specification (±0.1pF versus ±0.5pF), this represents an improvement in precision and does not compromise compatibility. Both parts share identical package dimensions, voltage ratings, temperature coefficients, and operating ranges.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The CBR06C799B5GAC from KEMET is a direct substitute for the GCM1885C1H7R9DA16D. Both components are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, meeting current regulatory requirements. The primary distinction is product status: the Murata part is classified as Not For New Designs, while the KEMET equivalent is Active, ensuring ongoing availability and manufacturing support.

The KEMET substitute offers improved tolerance specification (±0.1pF versus ±0.5pF), which provides enhanced precision without introducing any compatibility concerns. All electrical and mechanical parameters remain equivalent, including voltage rating, temperature coefficient, operating temperature range, and package dimensions.

For applications requiring the GCM1885C1H7R9DA16D, the CBR06C799B5GAC provides a compliant, actively manufactured alternative with superior tolerance characteristics and guaranteed long-term availability.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the CBR06C799B5GAC replace the GCM1885C1H7R9DA16D in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both components share identical capacitance values (7.9 pF), voltage ratings (50V), temperature coefficients (C0G/NP0), operating temperature ranges (-55°C ~ 125°C), and 0603 package dimensions. The KEMET part is a direct electrical and mechanical substitute.

Q: What is the significance of the tighter tolerance on the KEMET part?

A: The CBR06C799B5GAC features ±0.1pF tolerance compared to ±0.5pF on the Murata part. This represents improved precision and does not create compatibility issues. Circuits designed for the original tolerance will function correctly with the tighter specification.

Q: Are both parts suitable for the same applications?

A: Both components meet identical electrical specifications for voltage, temperature coefficient, and operating range. The KEMET part is actively manufactured and recommended for new applications, while the Murata part is classified as Not For New Designs.

Q: Do these parts have the same physical footprint?

A: Yes. Both components use the 0603 (1608 Metric) package format with identical dimensions: 0.063" L x 0.031" W (1.60mm x 0.80mm) and maximum thickness of 0.035" (0.90mm). They are directly interchangeable on PCB layouts.

Q: Are there any compliance differences between these parts?

A: No. Both components are ROHS3 compliant, REACH unaffected, and classified under the same HTSUS code (8532.24.0020). They meet identical regulatory requirements.
