Yageo
A pin-compatible automotive-grade alternative from Yageo with a higher voltage rating of 100V.
Find verified substitutes for the KEMET C0603C103K5RACAUTO, a 10nF 50V 0603 automotive-grade MLCC. Top alternatives offer higher voltage or wider temperature ranges.
Upgrades in voltage or temperature range are generally safe.
All strong candidates share the same 0603 package.
Multiple vendors offer compatible automotive-grade parts.
Yes, several direct replacements are available. The best options are AEC-Q200 qualified parts like Murata's GCJ188R72A103KA01D or Yageo's AC0603KRX7R0BB103.
GCJ188R72A103KA01D offers a direct upgrade path with a higher voltage rating and added soft termination for reliability.
The main risk is substituting with a non-automotive grade part, which could compromise reliability and safety in the intended application.
