YAGEO Corporation is a leading global supplier of passive components, including a comprehensive range of multilayer ceramic capacitors (MLCCs). The YAGEO CC series MLCCs provide viable alternatives to MLCCs from major brands such as Murata, Samsung SEMCO, and TDK. This guide covers the YAGEO CC series product range, cross-reference methodology, and considerations for selecting YAGEO MLCCs as alternatives to other brands.
The YAGEO CC series designation follows a part numbering system that encodes key parameters including case size, dielectric type, capacitance value, voltage rating, and tolerance. Understanding this naming convention is essential for effective cross-referencing.
YAGEO CC series MLCCs are available in the following case sizes:
YAGEO MLCC products are widely sourced for cost-sensitive applications where proven alternative sources are needed for MLCC procurement.
YAGEO offers CC series MLCCs with multiple dielectric formulations to match application requirements:
YAGEO C0G MLCCs provide ultra-stable capacitance with a temperature coefficient of 0 ± 30 ppm/°C over -55°C to +125°C. C0G parts are suitable for RF circuits, oscillators, and precision analog applications where capacitance stability is critical. C0G MLCCs have lower capacitance density but maintain stable performance across temperature, voltage, and time.
X7R dielectric offers a balance of capacitance density and temperature stability, with capacitance variation within ±15% over -55°C to +125°C. YAGEO X7R MLCCs are suitable for bypass, decoupling, and coupling applications in consumer and industrial electronics.
X5R provides higher capacitance density than X7R, with a temperature range of -55°C to +85°C and capacitance variation within ±15%. X5R MLCCs are commonly used in power supply decoupling where board space is constrained and operating temperature is controlled.
| Dielectric | YAGEO Series Code | Temp Range | Capacitance Stability | Best Application |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| C0G (NP0) | NPO or C0G | -55°C to +125°C | ±0.25pF or ±5% | RF, timing, precision |
| X7R | X7R | -55°C to +125°C | ±15% | General purpose |
| X5R | X5R | -55°C to +85°C | ±15% | Power decoupling |
When selecting YAGEO CC series MLCCs as alternatives to Murata, Samsung SEMCO, or TDK MLCCs, a systematic cross-reference approach should be followed:
Use the MLCC cross-reference tool to identify equivalent YAGEO CC series part numbers. Providing the original supplier's part number enables accurate alternative identification.

The following YAGEO CC series MLCC part numbers are available for sourcing and cross-reference inquiry:
For additional YAGEO part numbers, visit the YAGEO MLCC catalog. To request cross-reference support for specific part numbers from other brands, upload your BOM or submit an RFQ.
When considering YAGEO CC series MLCCs as alternatives to other brands, the following factors should be evaluated:
Verify that the YAGEO alternative meets the electrical and mechanical specifications of the original part, including capacitance tolerance, temperature coefficient, and insulation resistance.
While EIA case sizes are standardized, minor variations in terminal geometry may exist between brands. Verify PCB footprint compatibility for automated assembly.
YAGEO CC series MLCCs are compatible with standard reflow soldering processes, including lead-free assembly. Verify termination material compatibility with the assembly process.
For applications requiring specific reliability qualifications (such as AEC-Q200 for automotive), verify that the YAGEO alternative carries the same qualification. Not all CC series parts are AEC-Q200 qualified; confirm before specifying in automotive designs.
Submit your RFQ through the MLCC RFQ form. Independent sourcing support is available for YAGEO CC series MLCCs and cross-reference to other brands.
Common cross-reference scenarios include matching 0201 C0G parts for RF applications, 0402 X7R parts for general-purpose use, and 0603 X7R parts for power supply decoupling. For accurate cross-reference, consult the MLCC cross-reference tool or request support through the RFQ process.
A: YAGEO CC series MLCCs can be alternatives to Murata GRM series parts with matching case size, capacitance, voltage, and dielectric. Minor differences in electrical characteristics may exist. Verify specifications before implementing as a replacement.
A: Use the MLCC cross-reference tool by entering the competitor's part number. Key parameters to match include case size, capacitance value and tolerance, voltage rating, and dielectric type.
A: YAGEO produces automotive-grade MLCCs that are AEC-Q200 qualified. When sourcing for automotive applications, verify the specific CC series part number is AEC-Q200 qualified. Not all YAGEO CC series parts carry automotive qualification.
A: RFQ for current pricing. YAGEO CC series MLCCs are generally positioned as a cost-effective alternative, but actual pricing depends on part configuration, quantity, and market conditions. Request pricing through the RFQ process for accurate comparison.
A: Yes, as long as each part meets the design requirements. Mixed sourcing helps manage supply chain risk. Ensure all parts meet the same reliability requirements.
