Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the 1206GC102MAT3A are qualified based on the following critical parameters that must match:

• Capacitance: 1000 pF (exact match required)
• Voltage Rating: 2000V (2kV) minimum
• Temperature Coefficient: X7R
• Package: 1206 (3216 Metric)
• Tolerance: ±20%
• Operating Temperature: -55°C to 125°C
• Mounting Type: Surface Mount, MLCC
• Compliance: ROHS3 Compliant, REACH Unaffected

The two qualified substitute parts meet all electrical specifications and mechanical compatibility requirements, allowing direct replacement in designs utilizing the 1206GC102MAT3A.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All three parts—1206GC102MAT3A (KYOCERA AVX), KGM31AR73D102MU (KYOCERA AVX), and CHV1206N2K0102MXT (Cal-Chip Electronics)—maintain Active product status and satisfy ROHS3 and REACH compliance requirements. The electrical parameters are identical across all three parts. The primary distinction is dimensional: KGM31AR73D102MU exhibits a slightly larger length specification (0.130" vs 0.126"), which should be evaluated for PCB layout constraints. All parts are MSL 1 rated, indicating unlimited moisture sensitivity tolerance for storage and handling. Selection should be based on availability, procurement logistics, and design layout considerations rather than electrical performance differentials.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can KGM31AR73D102MU be used as a direct replacement for 1206GC102MAT3A? A: Yes, the KGM31AR73D102MU is functionally equivalent. However, the length dimension differs by 0.004" (0.10mm). This marginal difference requires confirmation that PCB footprint and layout accommodate the larger size.

Q: What is the primary difference between the KYOCERA AVX substitutes? A: Both KYOCERA AVX parts meet all electrical requirements. KGM31AR73D102MU is designated as part of the KGM HV (High Voltage) series, while 1206GC102MAT3A carries no specific series designation. The electrical performance remains equivalent.

Q: Is CHV1206N2K0102MXT from Cal-Chip Electronics electrically identical? A: Yes. The CHV1206N2K0102MXT matches all key electrical specifications and physical dimensions (except for the KYOCERA KGM variant noted above). It is a parametric equivalent part from a different manufacturer.

Q: Are there any compliance or regulatory differences between these parts? A: No. All three parts are ROHS3 Compliant and REACH Unaffected with identical MSL ratings.

Q: Which substitute should be selected for new designs? A: Selection should be driven by supply chain availability and procurement costs. All parts are electrically and mechanically compatible within the noted dimensional tolerance of the KGM variant.
