Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the 104HC2102K2CM6 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Electrical Parameters:

• Capacitance value: 0.1 µF
• Tolerance: ±10%
• Voltage Rating - AC: 1000V (1kV)
• Dielectric Material: Polypropylene (PP)
• Operating Temperature Range: -40°C to 85°C

Mechanical Parameters:

• Mounting Type: Chassis Mount
• Package / Case: Nonstandard
• Size / Dimension: 68.00 x 30.00 mm (L x W)
• Height - Seated (Max): 30.30 mm
• Termination: Threaded, Female

Compliance Parameters:

• RoHS Status: ROHS3 Compliant
• REACH Status: REACH Unaffected
• Product Status: Active

The 104HC1102K2CM6 qualifies as a parametric equivalent substitute. Both parts share identical capacitance, tolerance, voltage rating, dielectric material, temperature range, mounting configuration, physical dimensions, termination style, and compliance certifications. The difference in ESR (1.2 mOhms vs. 1.5 mOhms) and series designation (HC2 vs. HC1) does not affect functional equivalence within the specified electrical and mechanical parameters.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the 104HC2102K2CM6 and 104HC1102K2CM6 are active production parts with full ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status. Selection between these parts is based on the following engineering criteria:

104HC2102K2CM6 (Primary Part):

• Lower ESR at 1.2 mOhms provides reduced resistive losses
• Current inventory: 765 pieces
• Suitable for applications requiring minimal impedance

104HC1102K2CM6 (Substitute Part):

• ESR of 1.5 mOhms remains within acceptable operational parameters
• Current inventory: 794 pieces
• Functionally equivalent for all specified electrical and mechanical requirements

Both parts maintain identical voltage ratings, capacitance values, temperature operating ranges, physical dimensions, and compliance certifications. Selection may be determined by inventory availability, lead time, or specific application ESR requirements within the stated tolerance band.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can 104HC1102K2CM6 be used as a direct replacement for 104HC2102K2CM6?

A: Yes. The 104HC1102K2CM6 is a parametric equivalent substitute. Both parts share identical capacitance (0.1 µF), voltage rating (1000V AC), tolerance (±10%), dielectric material (polypropylene), operating temperature range (-40°C to 85°C), mounting type (chassis mount), physical dimensions (68.00 x 30.00 x 30.30 mm), termination style (threaded female), and compliance status (ROHS3 compliant, REACH unaffected).

Q: What is the difference between the HC2 and HC1 series designations?

A: The series designation reflects internal design iterations within the Cornell Dubilier / Illinois Capacitor product line. The HC1 and HC2 series maintain equivalent electrical and mechanical specifications for the 0.1 µF 1000V AC rating. The primary measurable difference is ESR: HC2 series at 1.2 mOhms versus HC1 series at 1.5 mOhms.

Q: Are the physical dimensions identical between these parts?

A: Yes. Both parts have identical dimensions of 68.00 mm length, 30.00 mm width, and 30.30 mm maximum seated height. Both use threaded female termination and are configured for chassis mount applications.

Q: Do both parts meet the same compliance requirements?

A: Yes. Both 104HC2102K2CM6 and 104HC1102K2CM6 are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected. Both are active production parts with equivalent regulatory status.

Q: Which part should be selected based on ESR considerations?

A: Selection based on ESR depends on application requirements. The 104HC2102K2CM6 with 1.2 mOhms ESR is suitable for applications requiring lower impedance. The 104HC1102K2CM6 with 1.5 mOhms ESR is suitable for general-purpose conduction cooled and high pulse/DV/DT applications. Both values are within acceptable operational parameters for the specified voltage and capacitance rating.

Q: Are there any temperature or voltage derating considerations between these parts?

A: No. Both parts operate across the identical temperature range of -40°C to 85°C and maintain the same 1000V AC voltage rating. No derating differences exist between the two parts.
