0201YA100DAQ2A Ceramic Capacitor Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The 0201YA100DAQ2A is a 10 pF ceramic capacitor manufactured by KYOCERA AVX, rated at 16V with C0G/NP0 temperature coefficient stability. This surface mount multilayer ceramic capacitor (MLCC) in 0201 package form factor is designed for general-purpose applications requiring stable capacitance across the operating temperature range of -55°C to 125°C. The part is ROHS3 compliant with MSL 1 rating and is currently in active production status. Substitute parts are identified when equivalent electrical performance can be maintained within the specified parameter tolerances while accommodating higher voltage ratings or improved availability.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the 0201YA100DAQ2A are qualified based on the following criteria:

Electrical Parameters (Must Match):

• Capacitance: 10 pF (exact match required)
• Temperature Coefficient: C0G/NP0 (exact match required)
• Operating Temperature Range: -55°C to 125°C (exact match required)

Mechanical Parameters (Must Match):

• Package / Case: 0201 (0603 Metric)
• Mounting Type: Surface Mount, MLCC
• Physical Dimensions: 0.024" L x 0.012" W (0.60mm x 0.30mm)
• Thickness (Max): 0.013" (0.33mm)

Allowable Variations:

• Voltage Rating: May be equal to or higher than 16V (16V, 25V acceptable)
• Tolerance: May be equal to or tighter than ±0.5pF (±0.25pF, ±0.5pF acceptable)
• Manufacturer: Different manufacturers acceptable if all parameters match

All identified substitute parts maintain identical capacitance, temperature stability, and physical form factor while offering either higher voltage ratings or improved tolerance specifications, ensuring direct functional compatibility in circuit applications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All substitute parts listed maintain active product status and ROHS3 compliance with MSL 1 rating, ensuring compatibility with current manufacturing and environmental standards. The primary distinction among substitutes is voltage rating elevation from 16V to 25V, which provides increased design margin without altering electrical performance at the specified 16V operating condition. Tolerance improvements from ±0.5pF to ±0.25pF in the 02013A100CAT2A variant offer enhanced capacitance stability for precision applications.

Inventory availability varies significantly across manufacturers. KEMET's C0201C100D3GAC7867 offers the highest stock level at 706270 units, while KYOCERA AVX's 02013A100CAT2A provides 56305 units with tighter tolerance specification. Selection should prioritize application requirements for voltage margin and tolerance precision, followed by supply chain availability and lead time considerations.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 0201YA100DAQ2A be directly replaced with a 25V rated substitute?

A: Yes. All listed 25V substitutes are electrically and mechanically compatible. The higher voltage rating provides additional design margin without affecting circuit performance at 16V operation. The capacitance value, temperature coefficient, and physical dimensions remain identical.

Q: What is the difference between ±0.5pF and ±0.25pF tolerance?

A: Tolerance specifies the allowable deviation from the nominal 10 pF value. ±0.25pF tolerance (tighter) restricts variation to 9.75–10.25 pF, while ±0.5pF tolerance allows 9.5–10.5 pF. Tighter tolerance is beneficial for precision analog circuits but not required for general-purpose applications.

Q: Are all substitutes available in Tape & Reel packaging?

A: Yes. All substitute parts are supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) packaging, maintaining compatibility with automated assembly processes.

Q: Do substitute parts from different manufacturers have identical performance?

A: All substitutes meet the specified electrical parameters (10 pF, C0G/NP0, -55°C to 125°C) and physical requirements (0201 package). Performance differences, if any, are manufacturer-specific and not reflected in the provided specifications. KEMET's C0201C100D3GAC7867 and TDK's C0603C0G1E100D030BA include Low ESL features, which may provide marginal benefits in high-frequency applications.

Q: Is the 0201 package size standardized across all manufacturers?

A: Yes. The 0201 package (0603 Metric equivalent) maintains consistent physical dimensions of 0.024" L x 0.012" W (0.60mm x 0.30mm) with maximum thickness of 0.013" (0.33mm) across all listed parts, ensuring mechanical interchangeability on PCB layouts.

Q: What does MSL 1 rating mean for handling and storage?

A: MSL 1 (Moisture Sensitivity Level 1) indicates unlimited shelf life without moisture baking requirements. These components can be stored and handled without special moisture control procedures, simplifying supply chain logistics.
