12061A751MAT2A Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The 12061A751MAT2A is a 750 pF ceramic capacitor manufactured by KYOCERA AVX, rated for 100V with C0G/NP0 temperature coefficient characteristics. This surface mount multilayer ceramic capacitor (MLCC) in 1206 package format is designed for general purpose applications requiring stable capacitance across temperature ranges from -55°C to 125°C. The part is currently active in production with ROHS3 compliance and unlimited moisture sensitivity rating (MSL 1). Equivalent substitute parts may be required due to inventory availability, lead time optimization, or specific packaging preferences while maintaining electrical and mechanical compatibility.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the 12061A751MAT2A are qualified based on the following critical parameters that must remain constant or improve:

• Capacitance Value: Must be 750 pF (no deviation permitted)
• Voltage Rating: Must be 100V or higher
• Temperature Coefficient: Must be C0G or NP0 (equivalent specifications)
• Package Format: Must be 1206 (3216 Metric) for PCB footprint compatibility
• Mounting Type: Must be Surface Mount MLCC
• Operating Temperature Range: Must cover -55°C to 125°C minimum
• Compliance Standards: Must maintain ROHS3 compliance and MSL 1 rating

The KEMET C1206C751J1GAC7800 qualifies as a direct substitute because it matches all critical parameters while offering improved tolerance specification (±5% versus ±20%), lower maximum thickness (0.88mm versus 0.94mm), and equivalent electrical performance under identical operating conditions.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the 12061A751MAT2A and C1206C751J1GAC7800 are active production parts with full ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status. Selection between these parts should be based on:

Primary Consideration: The KEMET C1206C751J1GAC7800 offers tighter tolerance specification (±5% versus ±20%), which provides superior capacitance accuracy for applications requiring precise value control. This represents an upgrade path for designs where tolerance performance is critical.

Secondary Consideration: The KEMET part features reduced maximum thickness (0.88mm versus 0.94mm), which may provide marginal benefits in space-constrained PCB layouts, though both parts fit identical 1206 footprints.

Compatibility: Both parts are electrically and mechanically interchangeable at the PCB level. No circuit redesign or layout modification is required when substituting between these parts. Packaging format (Tape & Reel for KEMET versus standard packaging for KYOCERA AVX) affects supply chain logistics but not functional performance.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the C1206C751J1GAC7800 be used as a direct replacement for the 12061A751MAT2A?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical capacitance (750 pF), voltage rating (100V), temperature coefficient (C0G/NP0), package format (1206), and operating temperature range (-55°C to 125°C). The KEMET part is electrically and mechanically compatible with no circuit modifications required.

Q: What is the significance of the tolerance difference (±5% versus ±20%)?

A: Tolerance defines the acceptable deviation of actual capacitance from the nominal 750 pF value. The KEMET part (±5%) maintains capacitance between 712.5 pF and 787.5 pF, while the KYOCERA AVX part (±20%) allows 600 pF to 900 pF. Applications requiring precise capacitance values benefit from the tighter KEMET specification.

Q: Are there any thermal or reliability differences between these parts?

A: Both parts operate across the identical temperature range (-55°C to 125°C) with C0G/NP0 temperature coefficient, ensuring stable capacitance performance. Both maintain MSL 1 (unlimited moisture sensitivity) rating and ROHS3 compliance. No thermal or reliability performance difference exists between the parts.

Q: Does the thickness difference (0.94mm versus 0.88mm) affect PCB assembly?

A: No. Both parts conform to the 1206 (3216 Metric) package standard and fit identical PCB footprints. The 0.06mm thickness difference is within normal component variation and does not impact assembly, soldering, or board-level clearance requirements.

Q: What packaging formats are available for each part?

A: The KYOCERA AVX 12061A751MAT2A is available in standard packaging. The KEMET C1206C751J1GAC7800 is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) format, which is standard for high-volume surface mount assembly operations. Both formats contain identical components with different supply presentation.
