An active, pin-compatible upgrade with higher voltage, tighter tolerance, and High-Q characteristics.
Finding a substitute for the Yageo CC0603CRNPO9BN3R3, a 3.3pF 50V 0603 NP0 capacitor, involves balancing direct parametric matches against sourcing risks and potential upgrades.
Upgrade paths offer superior or identical electricals.
All viable candidates use the same 0603 package.
The closest parametric match is NRND. The upgrade path is a specialty part which may have different availability.
Yes, GRM1885C1H3R3BA01D is a close parametric match, but it is Not Recommended for New Designs (NRND), posing a sourcing risk.
GQM1875C2E3R3BB12D is the best replacement, offering superior voltage and tolerance in an active lifecycle part. It is a robust upgrade.
The most direct parametric match is NRND, creating a potential sourcing and obsolescence risk for new designs.

| Feature / factor | CC0603CRNPO9BN3R3 | GQM1875C2E3R3BB12D | GRM1885C1H3R3BA01D | Alt 3 | Compatibility / risk |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Package | 0603 (1608 metric) | 0603 (1608 metric) | 0603 (1608 metric) | 0603 (1608 metric) — Identical package ensures form-fit compatibility.; GRM1885C1H3R3BA01D: Standard 0603 package ensures form-fit compatibility. | |
| Capacitance | 3.3 pF | 3.3 pF | 3.3 pF | 3.3 pF — Capacitance values are identical.; GRM1885C1H3R3BA01D: Capacitance values are identical. | |
| Voltage | 50 V | 250 V | 50 V | 250 V — Higher voltage rating provides more design margin.; GRM1885C1H3R3BA01D: Voltage ratings are identical. | |
| Tolerance | ±0.25 pF | ±0.1 pF | ±0.1 pF | ±0.1 pF — Tighter tolerance is a safe upgrade.; GRM1885C1H3R3BA01D: Candidate has tighter tolerance, which is a safe upgrade. | |
| Application | General Purpose | High Q | - | High Q — Designed for high-frequency apps; may be over-spec'd and costlier. | |
| Lifecycle | Active | - | NRND | NRND — Not Recommended for New Designs; poses a sourcing risk. |
Verified drop-in options for CC0603CRNPO9BN3R3 are limited in the current batch. Review candidates marked Strong match or Datasheet verified, and validate package, pinout, and electrical limits before committing a BOM change.
