Murata Electronics
Automotive-grade alternate from the same series with slightly wider tolerance.
GCM1555C1H6R0FA16D is a high-reliability, automotive-grade (AEC-Q200) 6pF, 50V MLCC from Murata in a 0402 package. It features a tight ±1% tolerance, making it ideal for precision automotive circuits.
Tolerance is the main electrical difference. Other key parameters match.
All viable candidates share the same 0402 package, ensuring form-fit compatibility.
Using a non-AEC-Q200 part in an automotive design introduces significant qualification and reliability risk.
Direct replacement for GCM1555C1H6R0FA16D should use only Datasheet verified or Strong match candidates; many approved options still require engineering review.
The best replacement is GCM1555C1H6R0BA16D, which is from the same Murata automotive series and only differs by a slightly wider tolerance.
The primary risk when substituting is the application's tolerance budget. For non-automotive applications, other options exist but lack the AEC-Q200 qualification.

| Feature / factor | GCM1555C1H6R0FA16D | GCM1555C1H6R0BA16D | GJM1555C1H6R0WB01D | Alt 3 | Compatibility / risk |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Package | 0402 (1005 metric) | 0402 (1005 metric) | 0402 (1005 metric) | 0402 (1005 metric) — Identical package ensures form-fit compatibility.; GJM1555C1H6R0WB01D: Identical package. | |
| Voltage | 50.0V | 50.0V | - | 50.0V — Voltage rating matches. | |
| Capacitance | 6.0pF | 6.0pF | - | 6.0pF — Capacitance value matches. | |
| Tolerance | ±1% | ±0.1pF | ±0.05pF | ±0.1pF / ±0.05pF — Slightly wider tolerance than target's ±1% (±0.06pF).; GJM1555C1H6R0WB01D: Tighter tolerance than target's ±1% (±0.06pF). | |
| Application | AEC-Q200 | AEC-Q200 | Commercial (RF) | AEC-Q200 / Commercial (RF) — Both are automotive grade from the same Murata GCM series.; GJM1555C1H6R0WB01D: Candidate is commercial grade (GJM series), not automotive (GCM series). |
Verified drop-in options for GCM1555C1H6R0FA16D 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.
