Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility is determined by three critical parameters: capacitance value, temperature coefficient, and package form factor. All substitute parts maintain 1500 pF capacitance, X7R temperature coefficient, and 0805 (2012 Metric) package specifications. Voltage rating and tolerance are secondary parameters that may vary based on circuit design margin requirements.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All listed substitute parts maintain Active product status and ROHS3 compliance, meeting regulatory requirements equivalent to the primary part. Selection between KYOCERA AVX and KEMET alternatives depends on voltage margin requirements and tolerance specifications for the application circuit.

For applications requiring voltage headroom above 6.3V, KGM21NR71H152KT (50V) or C0805C152K5RAC7800 (50V) provide direct voltage upgrades with matching ±10% tolerance. For circuits requiring tighter tolerance control, KGM21NR72A152JT or C0805C152J1RAC7800 both offer ±5% tolerance at 100V rating. Higher voltage applications up to 200V or 250V are addressed by KGM21NR72D152KT and C0805C152K2RAC7800 or C0805C152KARAC7800 respectively.

Physical dimensions vary slightly between manufacturers. KEMET C0805C series parts feature reduced maximum thickness (0.035" / 0.88mm) compared to KYOCERA AVX KGM series (0.039" / 1.00mm) and the primary part (0.037" / 0.94mm). Board layout and component stacking constraints should be evaluated when switching between manufacturers.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can I substitute a 50V-rated part for the 6.3V 08056C152KAT2A?

A: Yes. Higher voltage ratings are electrically compatible in circuits designed for lower voltages. The 50V substitute parts (KGM21NR71H152KT, C0805C152K5RAC7800, C0805C152J5RAC7800) maintain identical capacitance and temperature coefficient while providing additional voltage margin.

Q: What is the difference between ±5% and ±10% tolerance parts?

A: Tolerance specifies the allowable deviation from the nominal 1500 pF value. ±5% tolerance parts (KGM21NR72A152JT, C0805C152J1RAC7800, C0805C152J5RAC7800) maintain capacitance within 1425–1575 pF, while ±10% parts allow 1350–1650 pF. Selection depends on circuit sensitivity to capacitance variation.

Q: Are KYOCERA AVX and KEMET parts interchangeable?

A: Yes, provided capacitance, tolerance, voltage rating, temperature coefficient, and package specifications match. Both manufacturers produce ROHS3-compliant 0805 X7R ceramic capacitors with identical electrical performance at equivalent ratings. Physical thickness differences should be verified against PCB assembly constraints.

Q: Can I use a 200V or 250V part in place of the 6.3V original?

A: Yes. Higher voltage ratings are backward compatible. Parts such as KGM21NR72D152KT (200V) and C0805C152KARAC7800 (250V) function correctly in circuits specified for lower voltages and provide maximum voltage margin.

Q: What does MSL 1 (Unlimited) mean?

A: Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 indicates the component requires no special moisture control during storage or handling. All listed parts share this specification, eliminating moisture-related compatibility concerns during substitution.
