0306ZD104MAT2A Ceramic Capacitor Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The 0306ZD104MAT2A is a 0.1 µF ceramic capacitor manufactured by KYOCERA AVX, rated for 10V operation with X5R temperature coefficient characteristics. This surface mount multilayer ceramic capacitor (MLCC) is designed for bypass and decoupling applications in compact 0306 (0816 Metric) package form. The part is currently active in production with full RoHS3 compliance and unlimited moisture sensitivity rating (MSL 1). Substitute parts are identified when equivalent electrical performance can be maintained within the specified parameter constraints of the original design.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the 0306ZD104MAT2A is determined by strict adherence to the following electrical and mechanical parameters:

Critical Parameters for Substitution:

• Capacitance value: 0.1 µF (exact match required)
• Temperature Coefficient: X5R (maintains capacitance stability across operating temperature range)
• Package / Case: 0306 (0816 Metric) (ensures mechanical and electrical compatibility)
• Mounting Type: Surface Mount, MLCC (maintains assembly compatibility)
• Operating Temperature Range: -55°C to 85°C (minimum requirement)

Allowable Parameter Variations:

• Voltage Rating: May be equal to or greater than 10V (higher voltage rating provides design margin)
• Tolerance: May be tighter than ±20% (±10% or better is acceptable)
• Physical dimensions within 0306 package specification (0.032" L x 0.063" W, thickness ≤ 0.024")

The substitute part KGL15ZR51C104KT meets all substitution criteria with identical capacitance, temperature coefficient, package, and mounting type, while providing upgraded voltage rating (16V) and improved tolerance (±10%).

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The KGL15ZR51C104KT is a direct substitute for the 0306ZD104MAT2A in all bypass and decoupling applications. Both parts maintain identical electrical performance characteristics within the specified operating temperature range and are manufactured by the same supplier with equivalent quality standards.

The substitute part provides design margin through higher voltage rating (16V versus 10V) and improved capacitance tolerance (±10% versus ±20%), making it suitable for applications where the original part is specified. Both parts carry ROHS3 compliance and REACH Unaffected status, ensuring regulatory compatibility in all markets.

Physical compatibility is confirmed through identical package dimensions, thickness specifications, and surface mount mounting type, allowing direct substitution without PCB redesign or assembly process modification.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can KGL15ZR51C104KT replace 0306ZD104MAT2A in existing designs?

A: Yes. The substitute part maintains identical capacitance (0.1 µF), temperature coefficient (X5R), package (0306), and operating temperature range (-55°C to 85°C). Physical dimensions and mounting type are identical, enabling direct substitution without design changes.

Q: What is the significance of the voltage rating difference (10V vs 16V)?

A: The substitute part's higher voltage rating (16V) provides additional design margin and does not affect circuit operation. Circuits designed for 10V operation function identically with a 16V-rated capacitor of the same capacitance value.

Q: Does the improved tolerance (±10% vs ±20%) affect compatibility?

A: No. Tighter tolerance in the substitute part is a performance improvement that maintains backward compatibility. Applications tolerating ±20% variation accept ±10% variation without functional impact.

Q: Are the physical dimensions identical between both parts?

A: Yes. Both parts use the 0306 (0816 Metric) package with dimensions of 0.032" L x 0.063" W and maximum thickness of 0.024" (0.61mm), ensuring identical PCB footprint and assembly compatibility.

Q: Do both parts meet the same regulatory requirements?

A: Yes. Both parts are ROHS3 compliant, REACH Unaffected, and carry MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity rating, meeting identical regulatory and environmental standards.
