02015J1R5PBSTR\500 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The 02015J1R5PBSTR\500 is a 1.5 pF thin film capacitor manufactured by KYOCERA AVX, part of the Accu-P® series. This component is rated for 50 V operation in a 0201 (0603 Metric) surface mount package. The part is currently in active production status with 696 pieces available in new original inventory. Thin film capacitors of this specification are essential in RF and high-frequency applications requiring low loss and high Q characteristics. Alternative part sourcing becomes necessary due to inventory availability, supply chain considerations, or packaging format preferences while maintaining identical electrical and mechanical performance.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the 02015J1R5PBSTR\500 is determined by strict equivalence across the following parameters:

• Capacitance Value: 1.5 pF (exact match required)
• Tolerance: ±0.02 pF (exact match required)
• Voltage Rating: 50 V (exact match required)
• Package / Case: 0201 (0603 Metric) (exact match required)
• Mounting Type: Surface Mount (exact match required)
• Operating Temperature Range: -55°C to 125°C (exact match required)
• Series: Accu-P® (exact match required)
• Product Status: Active (current production required)
• Compliance: ROHS3 Compliant, MSL 1 (exact match required)

The substitute part 02015J1R5PBSTR meets all electrical and mechanical parameters identical to the main part number. The primary distinction is packaging format availability (Cut Tape & Digi-Reel® versus Cut Tape only) and inventory quantity.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the 02015J1R5PBSTR\500 and 02015J1R5PBSTR are functionally and mechanically identical thin film capacitors from KYOCERA AVX's active Accu-P® product line. Selection between these parts should be based on the following engineering considerations:

Packaging Requirements: The 02015J1R5PBSTR\500 is supplied in Cut Tape (CT) format only. The 02015J1R5PBSTR is available in both Cut Tape (CT) and Digi-Reel® formats, providing greater flexibility for automated assembly processes that require reel packaging.

Inventory Availability: The 02015J1R5PBSTR offers higher stock levels (1045 pieces) compared to the 02015J1R5PBSTR\500 (696 pieces), which may be relevant for high-volume production schedules or supply chain continuity planning.

Compliance and Certification: Both parts maintain identical ROHS3 compliance, REACH unaffected status, and MSL 1 rating, ensuring equivalent environmental and regulatory suitability for all applications.

Electrical Performance: No electrical performance differentiation exists between these parts. Both deliver identical RF characteristics, high Q factor, and low loss performance across the full -55°C to 125°C operating temperature range at 50 V rated voltage.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can 02015J1R5PBSTR be used as a direct replacement for 02015J1R5PBSTR\500?

A: Yes. Both parts are electrically and mechanically identical. They share the same capacitance value (1.5 pF), tolerance (±0.02 pF), voltage rating (50 V), package type (0201/0603 Metric), and operating temperature range (-55°C to 125°C). The primary difference is packaging format availability and inventory quantity.

Q: What does the "\500" designation in 02015J1R5PBSTR\500 indicate?

A: The "\500" suffix indicates the specific packaging configuration and inventory lot designation. The base part number 02015J1R5PBSTR represents the electrical and mechanical specification, while the suffix identifies the particular packaging format (Cut Tape) and supply batch.

Q: Are there any performance differences between Cut Tape and Digi-Reel® packaging formats?

A: No. The component performance is identical regardless of packaging format. The difference is purely in the physical delivery method. Cut Tape format is suitable for manual or semi-automated assembly, while Digi-Reel® format is optimized for fully automated pick-and-place equipment.

Q: What is the significance of the Accu-P® series designation?

A: Accu-P® is KYOCERA AVX's proprietary thin film capacitor series. This designation indicates the component meets the specific performance standards of this series, including RF characteristics, high Q factor, and low loss performance.

Q: Are both parts ROHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. Both 02015J1R5PBSTR\500 and 02015J1R5PBSTR are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, meeting current environmental and regulatory requirements for electronic component manufacturing and use.

Q: What is the Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL) rating, and why is it important?

A: Both parts carry an MSL rating of 1 (Unlimited), which indicates unlimited shelf life without moisture control requirements. This simplifies storage, handling, and logistics compared to components with higher MSL ratings.

Q: Can these capacitors be used in RF applications?

A: Yes. Both parts are specifically designed for RF applications and feature high Q and low loss characteristics, making them suitable for RF circuits, impedance matching networks, and high-frequency signal conditioning applications.
