Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can I substitute GRM188R72A682KA01D with GCM188R72A682KA37D?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical electrical specifications: 6800 pF ±10% at 100V with X7R temperature coefficient in 0603 package. GCM188R72A682KA37D is an active product, making it the preferred choice for new production.

Q: What is the difference between the Murata GRM and GCM series?

A: The GRM series is marked "Not For New Designs," while the GCM series is active. Both meet identical electrical and mechanical specifications for this capacitance value and voltage rating. The GCM series represents Murata's current product line.

Q: Are KEMET and KYOCERA AVX parts pin-compatible with Murata?

A: Yes. All substitute parts use identical 0603 (1608 Metric) surface mount package with the same footprint, pad layout, and electrical interface. No PCB redesign is required.

Q: Can I use C0603C682K2RAC7867 (200V) instead of the 100V rated part?

A: Yes. The 200V rated part is electrically compatible and provides additional voltage margin. However, physical dimensions remain identical, and no circuit modification is necessary.

Q: Does tolerance matter when substituting ±10% with ±5%?

A: No. The ±5% tolerance part (C0603C682J1RAC7867) is a direct substitute with tighter tolerance, providing improved capacitance accuracy. It is suitable for applications where the original ±10% tolerance is acceptable.

Q: What is MSL 1 and does it affect substitution?

A: MSL 1 (Moisture Sensitivity Level 1) indicates unlimited shelf life without moisture bake-out requirements. All substitute parts carry MSL 1 rating, ensuring identical moisture handling and storage requirements.

Q: Are all substitute parts ROHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. All listed substitute parts are ROHS3 compliant, matching the environmental compliance of the original GRM188R72A682KA01D.
