08051A201MAT2A Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The 08051A201MAT2A is a 200 pF ceramic capacitor manufactured by KYOCERA AVX in 0805 (2012 Metric) surface mount package. This multilayer ceramic capacitor (MLCC) operates at 100V with C0G/NP0 temperature coefficient and ±20% tolerance. The part is actively produced and widely used in general-purpose applications requiring stable capacitance across the operating temperature range of -55°C to 125°C. Substitute parts are identified when equivalent electrical specifications and mechanical compatibility are maintained within the allowed parameter tolerances for this component category.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the 08051A201MAT2A is determined by strict equivalence in the following parameters:

• Capacitance Value: Must be 200 pF (no deviation permitted)
• Voltage Rating: Must be 100V or higher
• Temperature Coefficient: Must be C0G or NP0 (equivalent designations)
• Operating Temperature Range: Must cover -55°C to 125°C minimum
• Package: Must be 0805 (2012 Metric) surface mount
• Tolerance: May be equal to or tighter than ±20%
• Regulatory Compliance: Must maintain ROHS3 and REACH compliance

Substitute parts are grouped by tolerance grade, as this parameter directly affects circuit performance while maintaining all other electrical and mechanical specifications. Tighter tolerance grades (±2%, ±5%) are considered upgrades and are fully interchangeable with the original ±20% specification.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Substitutes (Active Production)

The 08051A201GAT2A, 08051A201JAT2A, and C0805C201J1GAC7800 are direct substitutes with active product status. All three maintain identical electrical specifications and package requirements. The 08051A201GAT2A offers the tightest tolerance at ±2%, suitable for applications requiring enhanced capacitance stability. The 08051A201JAT2A and C0805C201J1GAC7800 both provide ±5% tolerance and are functionally equivalent; selection between these may be based on manufacturer preference, inventory availability, or supply chain considerations.

Secondary Substitute (Legacy Status)

The GRM2165C2A201JA01D is electrically equivalent but carries a "Not For New Designs" product status from Murata Electronics. This part remains suitable for replacement in existing production runs or field service applications where continuity with original specifications is required. New design implementations should prioritize parts with active production status.

Compliance Verification

All substitute parts maintain ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status, ensuring regulatory compatibility with the original specification. MSL rating of 1 (Unlimited) is consistent across all options, eliminating moisture sensitivity as a selection factor.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can I use a substitute part with tighter tolerance than the original ±20%?

A: Yes. Parts with ±2% or ±5% tolerance are direct upgrades and fully interchangeable. Tighter tolerance provides improved capacitance stability without affecting circuit compatibility.

Q: Are all substitute parts available in the same 0805 package?

A: Yes. All listed substitutes use the 0805 (2012 Metric) surface mount package with identical footprint dimensions (0.079" L x 0.049" W / 2.01mm x 1.25mm), ensuring direct PCB compatibility.

Q: What is the difference between C0G and NP0 designations?

A: C0G and NP0 are equivalent temperature coefficient classifications used by different manufacturers. Both designations indicate the same thermal stability characteristics and are interchangeable.

Q: Why is GRM2165C2A201JA01D marked "Not For New Designs"?

A: This designation indicates the manufacturer has transitioned the part to legacy status. While electrically equivalent and suitable for replacement applications, new circuit designs should specify parts with active production status for long-term supply assurance.

Q: Do all substitutes have the same voltage rating?

A: Yes. All substitute parts are rated for 100V, matching the original specification. No voltage derating is required when substituting between these parts.

Q: Are there any differences in physical dimensions between substitutes?

A: All parts conform to the 0805 (2012 Metric) standard. Minor thickness variations exist (0.88mm to 0.94mm maximum), but these fall within standard PCB assembly tolerances and do not affect placement or soldering.
