Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution for the 08051A0R5CAT2M is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Capacitance value: 0.5 pF
• Capacitance tolerance: ±0.25pF
• Rated voltage: 100V
• Temperature coefficient: C0G/NP0
• Operating temperature range: -55°C to 125°C
• Package type: 0805 (2012 Metric)
• Mounting technology: Surface Mount MLCC
• Physical dimensions: 0.079" L x 0.049" W x 0.037" max thickness
• Compliance standards: RoHS3, REACH Unaffected

The identified substitute part KGM21BCG2A0R5CT meets all electrical and mechanical requirements for direct substitution. The primary difference is packaging format (Tape & Reel versus standard packaging), which does not affect component functionality or performance in the application circuit.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the 08051A0R5CAT2M and KGM21BCG2A0R5CT are Active products from KYOCERA AVX with identical electrical specifications and full regulatory compliance. Selection between these parts should be based on packaging and supply chain requirements:

The 08051A0R5CAT2M is suitable for applications requiring standard packaging formats with lower volume requirements. The KGM21BCG2A0R5CT, supplied in Tape & Reel format, is optimized for high-volume automated assembly operations where reel-based component feeding is standard practice. Both parts maintain ROHS3 compliance and REACH Unaffected status, ensuring regulatory compatibility across global markets.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can KGM21BCG2A0R5CT be used as a direct replacement for 08051A0R5CAT2M?

A: Yes. Both parts are electrically and mechanically identical with matching capacitance (0.5 pF), tolerance (±0.25pF), voltage rating (100V), temperature coefficient (C0G/NP0), operating temperature range (-55°C to 125°C), and 0805 package dimensions. The only difference is packaging format (Tape & Reel versus standard).

Q: What is the significance of the packaging difference?

A: Packaging format affects supply chain logistics and assembly processes. Tape & Reel (TR) packaging is standard for automated pick-and-place assembly lines, while standard packaging is used for manual assembly or lower-volume applications. Component performance and electrical characteristics remain identical.

Q: Are both parts RoHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. Both 08051A0R5CAT2M and KGM21BCG2A0R5CT are ROHS3 Compliant with REACH Unaffected status, meeting environmental and regulatory requirements for global distribution.

Q: What does MSL 1 (Unlimited) mean for storage and handling?

A: MSL 1 indicates the lowest moisture sensitivity level. These components have unlimited shelf life under normal storage conditions and do not require special moisture control or baking procedures prior to soldering.

Q: Are the physical dimensions identical between both parts?

A: Yes. Both parts measure 0.079" L x 0.049" W (2.01mm x 1.25mm) with maximum thickness of 0.037" (0.94mm), ensuring identical PCB footprint compatibility and assembly clearance requirements.
