Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the 1206VC563KAT2A is determined by strict equivalence in the following parameters:

• Capacitance value: 0.056 µF
• Tolerance: ±10%
• Voltage rating: 250V
• Temperature coefficient: X7R
• Package: 1206 (3216 Metric)
• Mounting type: Surface Mount, MLCC
• RoHS compliance: ROHS3 Compliant
• Moisture sensitivity: MSL 1

The substitute part C1206C563KARAC7800 from KEMET meets all these criteria, enabling direct functional and mechanical interchange in circuit applications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the 1206VC563KAT2A and C1206C563KARAC7800 are active production components with ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status, meeting current regulatory requirements. The electrical specifications are identical across capacitance, tolerance, voltage rating, and temperature coefficient. Both components maintain MSL 1 rating, indicating no moisture sensitivity constraints during storage and handling. The thickness difference of 0.006" (0.16mm) between the two parts remains within typical PCB assembly tolerances and does not affect functional performance or mechanical fit in standard 1206 footprints. Selection between these parts may be based on inventory availability, lead time, or established supplier relationships.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can C1206C563KARAC7800 be used as a direct replacement for 1206VC563KAT2A?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical electrical specifications (0.056 µF, ±10%, 250V, X7R) and mechanical compatibility in the 1206 package footprint. The thickness variation is within acceptable assembly tolerances.

Q: Are there any compliance differences between these parts?

A: No. Both parts are ROHS3 compliant, REACH unaffected, and carry MSL 1 moisture sensitivity rating.

Q: What is the significance of the X7R temperature coefficient?

A: X7R indicates the capacitor maintains stable capacitance across the -55°C to 125°C operating range with minimal variation, suitable for general purpose applications requiring predictable performance across temperature extremes.

Q: Does the 0.006" thickness difference affect PCB assembly?

A: No. The thickness difference falls within standard PCB assembly tolerances and does not impact placement, soldering, or functional performance in 1206 footprints.

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

A: Yes. Both 1206VC563KAT2A and C1206C563KARAC7800 are supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) packaging suitable for automated assembly processes.
