Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution for the 1206J0160271FCT is determined by the following criteria:

• Identical capacitance value: 270 pF
• Identical tolerance: ±1%
• Identical temperature coefficient: C0G, NP0
• Identical package: 1206 (3216 Metric)
• Identical mounting type: Surface Mount, MLCC
• Identical operating temperature range: -55°C ~ 125°C
• Voltage rating equal to or greater than 16V
• Active product status
• ROHS3 compliance

The substitute part KGM31BCG2A271FT meets all these criteria with an upgraded voltage rating of 100V, which provides additional design margin while maintaining full electrical and mechanical compatibility.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the 1206J0160271FCT and KGM31BCG2A271FT are active production components with ROHS3 compliance and identical moisture sensitivity ratings. The substitute part KGM31BCG2A271FT provides a higher voltage rating (100V versus 16V) while maintaining all other electrical and mechanical specifications. The reduced thickness of the substitute part (0.037" versus 0.063") may provide additional design flexibility in space-constrained applications. Selection between these parts should be based on voltage margin requirements, available inventory, and manufacturing lead times.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can KGM31BCG2A271FT be used as a direct replacement for 1206J0160271FCT?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical capacitance (270 pF), tolerance (±1%), temperature coefficient (C0G, NP0), package (1206), and operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 125°C). The substitute part has a higher voltage rating, which is compatible with circuits designed for 16V operation.

Q: What is the difference in physical dimensions between these parts?

A: Both parts have identical length and width (0.126" L x 0.063" W / 3.20mm x 1.60mm). The substitute part has a reduced maximum thickness of 0.037" (0.94mm) compared to 0.063" (1.60mm) for the original part.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. Both 1206J0160271FCT and KGM31BCG2A271FT are ROHS3 compliant with MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity rating.

Q: Does the higher voltage rating of the substitute part affect circuit performance?

A: No. The higher voltage rating (100V) of KGM31BCG2A271FT does not affect capacitance value, tolerance, or temperature stability. It provides additional voltage margin for the same electrical performance.

Q: Are both parts available in Tape & Reel packaging?

A: Yes. Both parts are supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) packaging suitable for automated assembly processes.
