1206J0160182KXT Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The 1206J0160182KXT is a 1800 pF ceramic capacitor manufactured by Knowles Syfer, rated at 16V with X7R temperature coefficient in 1206 (3216 Metric) surface mount package. This component is designed for general purpose applications requiring stable capacitance across the operating temperature range of -55°C to 125°C. The part is active and in production, with ROHS3 compliance and unlimited moisture sensitivity level (MSL 1).

Equivalent and substitute parts are identified based on matching or exceeding the core electrical specifications: 1800 pF capacitance value, ±10% tolerance or better, minimum 16V rated voltage, X7R or C0G/NP0 temperature coefficient, and identical 1206 package dimensions.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility is determined by the following criteria:

Electrical Compatibility: Capacitance value must be 1800 pF. Tolerance must be ±10% or tighter. Voltage rating must equal or exceed 16V. Temperature coefficient must be X7R or C0G/NP0 (C0G/NP0 provides superior stability and lower ESL).

Mechanical Compatibility: Package must be 1206 (3216 Metric). All substitute parts maintain identical footprint and mounting characteristics.

Regulatory Compliance: All substitute parts must maintain ROHS3 compliance and MSL 1 rating.

Substitution Categories:

Direct X7R Equivalents: Parts with identical X7R temperature coefficient, ±10% tolerance, and voltage ratings of 50V or higher
Upgraded C0G/NP0 Alternatives: Parts with superior C0G/NP0 temperature coefficient, tighter tolerance (±5% or ±2%), and higher voltage ratings

Engineering Selection Recommendations

X7R Direct Equivalents (Recommended for Drop-In Replacement):

C1206C182K1RAC7800 (KEMET) and CC1206KRX7R9BB182 (YAGEO) maintain X7R temperature coefficient with ±10% tolerance matching the original specification. Both parts exceed the 16V minimum voltage requirement at 100V and 50V respectively, providing design margin. All parts are ROHS3 compliant with MSL 1 rating. These parts are suitable for applications where X7R characteristics are required.

C0G/NP0 Upgraded Alternatives (Enhanced Stability):

C0G/NP0 temperature coefficient parts offer superior capacitance stability across temperature extremes compared to X7R. KEMET C1206C182J1GAC7800 and C1206C182J5GAC7800 provide ±5% tolerance with 100V and 50V ratings. YAGEO CC1206GRNPO9BN182, CC1206JRNPO0BN182, and CC1206JRNPO9BN182 offer ±2% to ±5% tolerance with reduced thickness (0.028"). KYOCERA AVX KGM31BCG1H182FU, KGM31BCG2A182FU, and KGM31BCG2A182JU provide ±1% tolerance with 50V and 100V ratings.

All substitute parts maintain identical 1206 package footprint, ROHS3 compliance, and MSL 1 rating. Selection between alternatives depends on application requirements for voltage margin, tolerance precision, and physical height constraints.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can I use a 50V rated capacitor in place of the 16V original?

A: Yes. Voltage rating indicates the maximum voltage the capacitor can safely withstand. A 50V or 100V rated capacitor is electrically compatible with a 16V application and provides additional design margin.

Q: What is the difference between X7R and C0G/NP0 temperature coefficients?

A: X7R provides ±15% capacitance change across -55°C to 125°C. C0G/NP0 provides ±0.3% change across the same range, offering superior stability. C0G/NP0 parts are suitable for applications requiring tighter capacitance tolerance over temperature.

Q: Are all substitute parts in the same 1206 package?

A: Yes. All listed substitute parts use the 1206 (3216 Metric) package with identical footprint dimensions of 0.126" L x 0.063" W (3.20mm x 1.60mm). Thickness varies between 0.028" and 0.063" depending on manufacturer and dielectric material.

Q: Do substitute parts meet the same compliance requirements?

A: Yes. All substitute parts listed are ROHS3 compliant, REACH unaffected, and carry MSL 1 (unlimited) moisture sensitivity rating, matching the original part's regulatory status.

Q: Which substitute offers the tightest capacitance tolerance?

A: KYOCERA AVX KGM31BCG1H182FU and KGM31BCG2A182FU offer ±1% tolerance, the tightest among all listed alternatives. YAGEO CC1206GRNPO9BN182 offers ±2% tolerance. These parts are suitable for precision applications requiring minimal capacitance variation.

Q: Can I mix different manufacturers' parts in the same design?

A: Yes. All substitute parts meet the same electrical and mechanical specifications for the 1206 package. Mixing manufacturers is acceptable provided the application does not require specific performance characteristics unique to one manufacturer's dielectric formulation.
