Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the MCM01-001D080D-F is based on strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Electrical Parameters (Non-negotiable):

• Capacitance value: 8 pF
• Tolerance: ±0.5 pF
• Voltage rating: 500 V minimum
• Operating temperature range: -55°C to 200°C minimum

Mechanical Parameters (Non-negotiable):

• Mounting type: Surface Mount
• Package configuration: Nonstandard SMD
• Physical dimensions: 0.460" L x 0.400" W (11.68mm x 10.16mm)

Compliance Parameters:

• RoHS3 compliance
• Moisture Sensitivity Level 1

Application Parameters:

• RF and high-frequency capability

The substitute part MCM01-001CD080D-F maintains all critical electrical, mechanical, and compliance parameters while differing only in dielectric material composition (Mica versus PTFE) and product status (Active versus Discontinued).

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The MCM01-001CD080D-F serves as a direct electrical and mechanical equivalent to the discontinued MCM01-001D080D-F. Selection criteria are based on the following factors:

Product Availability: The MCM01-001D080D-F is discontinued at DiGi Electronics with no ongoing supply. The MCM01-001CD080D-F maintains active product status with 1018 pieces in stock, ensuring supply chain continuity.

Electrical Equivalence: Both parts maintain identical capacitance (8 pF), tolerance (±0.5 pF), voltage rating (500 V), and operating temperature range (-55°C to 200°C). These parameters are critical for RF and high-frequency circuit performance.

Mechanical Compatibility: Identical mounting type (Surface Mount), package configuration (Nonstandard SMD), and physical dimensions (0.460" L x 0.400" W) ensure direct PCB footprint compatibility without layout modifications.

Regulatory Compliance: Both parts are ROHS3 compliant with Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 (Unlimited), meeting current regulatory requirements and handling standards.

Dielectric Material Consideration: The substitute employs Mica dielectric instead of PTFE. Both materials support RF and high-frequency applications within the specified electrical parameters. The choice between PTFE and Mica dielectrics does not affect the electrical performance criteria defined for this application category.

Packaging Format: The substitute is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) format, providing standard automated assembly compatibility compared to the main part's unspecified packaging.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can MCM01-001CD080D-F replace MCM01-001D080D-F in existing designs?

A: Yes. The MCM01-001CD080D-F is electrically and mechanically equivalent. It maintains identical capacitance (8 pF), tolerance (±0.5 pF), voltage rating (500 V), operating temperature range (-55°C to 200°C), mounting type (Surface Mount), package configuration (Nonstandard SMD), and physical dimensions (0.460" L x 0.400" W). Direct substitution is supported without circuit redesign or PCB layout modification.

Q: What is the difference between PTFE and Mica dielectric materials in this application?

A: Both PTFE and Mica dielectrics are suitable for RF and high-frequency capacitor applications. The electrical performance parameters—capacitance, tolerance, voltage rating, and temperature stability—are identical between the two parts. Dielectric material selection does not affect compatibility within the specified electrical operating range.

Q: Are there any compliance or regulatory differences between the two parts?

A: No. Both MCM01-001D080D-F and MCM01-001CD080D-F are ROHS3 compliant, REACH unaffected, and classified as EAR99 for export control purposes. Both maintain Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 (Unlimited), indicating identical handling and storage requirements.

Q: Why is the main part discontinued?

A: The MCM01-001D080D-F is discontinued at DiGi Electronics. The MCM01-001CD080D-F remains in active production with confirmed inventory availability (1018 pieces in stock), providing a supported alternative within the same MCM01 series.

Q: Does the Tape & Reel packaging of the substitute affect compatibility?

A: No. Tape & Reel (TR) packaging is standard for surface mount components and is compatible with automated assembly equipment. This packaging format does not affect electrical or mechanical performance.

Q: Are the physical dimensions identical between both parts?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical dimensions of 0.460" L x 0.400" W (11.68mm x 10.16mm), ensuring direct PCB footprint compatibility without layout modifications.

Q: What is the inventory status of each part?

A: MCM01-001D080D-F: 636 pieces in stock (discontinued product). MCM01-001CD080D-F: 1018 pieces in stock (active product). The substitute offers greater supply availability.
