Engineering Selection Recommendations

The C0805C511K5GAC7800 from KEMET is a direct electrical and mechanical equivalent to the 08055A511KAT2A. Both parts are Active status products with identical electrical specifications and environmental compliance certifications. The dimensional variations (0.01mm length difference and 0.02mm thickness difference) fall within standard 0805 package tolerances and do not affect PCB footprint compatibility or assembly processes. Both parts carry ROHS3 compliance and REACH Unaffected status, meeting current regulatory requirements. Selection between these parts may be based on availability, supply chain considerations, or established vendor relationships, as electrical and mechanical performance are equivalent.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can C0805C511K5GAC7800 be used as a direct replacement for 08055A511KAT2A?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical electrical specifications (510 pF, ±10%, 50V, C0G/NP0), operate across the same temperature range (-55°C to 125°C), and are packaged in the 0805 (2012 Metric) form factor. Dimensional tolerances are within standard package specifications.

Q: Are there differences in physical dimensions between these parts?

A: Minor dimensional variations exist within standard tolerances. The 08055A511KAT2A measures 2.01mm x 1.25mm x 0.94mm maximum, while the C0805C511K5GAC7800 measures 2.00mm x 1.25mm x 0.88mm maximum. These differences do not affect PCB footprint compatibility or reflow soldering processes.

Q: Do both parts meet the same compliance requirements?

A: Yes. Both parts are ROHS3 compliant, REACH Unaffected, and carry Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 (Unlimited) ratings. Regulatory and environmental compliance is equivalent.

Q: What is the significance of the C0G/NP0 temperature coefficient?

A: C0G and NP0 designations indicate zero temperature coefficient, meaning capacitance remains stable across the -55°C to 125°C operating range. This specification is identical for both parts and is critical for applications requiring stable capacitance performance across temperature variations.

Q: Can these parts be used interchangeably in production?

A: Yes, from an electrical and mechanical standpoint. Both parts are Active status products with identical functional specifications. Production changeover considerations should address supply chain logistics and inventory management rather than technical compatibility.
