Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the GCM1885C1H8R9DA16D is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Capacitance Value: 8.9 pF (exact match required)
• Tolerance: ±0.5pF or tighter
• Voltage Rating: 50V minimum
• Temperature Coefficient: C0G/NP0 (mandatory for stability)
• Operating Temperature: -55°C ~ 125°C minimum range
• RoHS Compliance: ROHS3 Compliant
• Moisture Sensitivity: MSL 1 or better

Two substitute parts meet these criteria with variations in package size and tolerance specifications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

GCM1555C1H8R9DA16D (Murata Electronics)

This substitute maintains identical electrical specifications (8.9 pF, ±0.5pF, 50V, C0G/NP0) with Active product status. The primary distinction is the 0402 (1005 Metric) package, which is physically smaller than the original 0603 package. This part is suitable for space-constrained applications where PCB real estate is a limiting factor. Full compliance with ROHS3 and AEC-Q200 automotive ratings is maintained.

CBR06C899B5GAC (KEMET)

This substitute provides identical package dimensions (0603) and electrical performance with tighter tolerance (±0.1pF versus ±0.5pF). The CBR-SMD RF C0G series is specified for RF and microwave applications with high Q and low ESR characteristics. This part is appropriate for applications requiring superior frequency stability and lower losses. Active product status and ROHS3 compliance are confirmed.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can GCM1555C1H8R9DA16D be used as a direct replacement for GCM1885C1H8R9DA16D?

A: Electrical substitution is valid. The 0402 package is physically smaller than 0603, requiring PCB layout modification. Verify footprint compatibility before implementation.

Q: What is the difference between ±0.5pF and ±0.1pF tolerance?

A: Tolerance defines the acceptable capacitance range from the nominal value. ±0.1pF (CBR06C899B5GAC) provides tighter control, beneficial for precision RF circuits. ±0.5pF (GCM1885C1H8R9DA16D and GCM1555C1H8R9DA16D) is acceptable for general-purpose applications.

Q: Are all three parts automotive-qualified?

A: GCM1885C1H8R9DA16D and GCM1555C1H8R9DA16D carry AEC-Q200 ratings. CBR06C899B5GAC does not list AEC-Q200 certification; verify automotive qualification requirements for your application.

Q: Can CBR06C899B5GAC replace GCM1885C1H8R9DA16D in automotive applications?

A: Electrical parameters are compatible. Confirm that CBR06C899B5GAC meets your specific automotive qualification requirements, as AEC-Q200 certification is not documented for this part.

Q: What is the impact of package size change from 0603 to 0402?

A: The 0402 package (GCM1555C1H8R9DA16D) is smaller and lighter, reducing PCB footprint and assembly cost. PCB layout and pick-and-place equipment compatibility must be evaluated.
