AEC-Q200 qualified substitute with identical core parameters and package, but from a different performance series.
GCQ1555C1H300JB01D is a 30pF, 50V, 0402 High-Q automotive-grade MLCC from Murata. Finding a substitute requires matching AEC-Q200 qualification and high-frequency performance.
Low if Q-factor is not critical; otherwise medium.
Standard 0402 package is highly compatible.
Automotive parts can have specific supply chains.
Yes, GCM1555C1H300JA16D is a strong candidate with identical core specs and AEC-Q200 qualification, though its Q-factor may differ.
The best path is finding another AEC-Q200 qualified, 30pF, 50V, C0G capacitor in an 0402 package, ideally from a High-Q series.
The main risk is using a non-automotive (non-AEC-Q200) part or a part with a different Q-factor, which can affect reliability and performance.
