1206YC824MAT2A Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The 1206YC824MAT2A is a 0.82 µF ceramic capacitor manufactured by KYOCERA AVX, rated for 16V with X7R temperature coefficient in 1206 (3216 Metric) surface mount package. This component is actively produced and widely used in general-purpose applications requiring stable capacitance across operating temperature ranges of -55°C to 125°C. Substitute parts are identified when design requirements allow for higher voltage ratings, improved tolerance specifications, or alternative sourcing needs while maintaining core electrical and mechanical compatibility.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the 1206YC824MAT2A are qualified based on the following criteria:

• Identical Capacitance: 0.82 µF (±10% or ±20% tolerance acceptable)
• Equal or Higher Voltage Rating: Minimum 16V (25V rated substitutes are compatible)
• Matching Temperature Coefficient: X7R dielectric required
• Identical Package: 1206 (3216 Metric) surface mount form factor
• Compatible Operating Temperature: -55°C to 125°C minimum
• Regulatory Compliance: ROHS3 compliant, REACH unaffected

Two substitute parts meet these criteria: C1206C824K3RAC7800 (KEMET) and GRM31MR71E824KA01L (Murata Electronics). Both provide higher voltage ratings (25V) and improved tolerance (±10%), making them suitable for applications where the original 16V specification can be exceeded without design impact.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

C1206C824K3RAC7800 (KEMET) is the primary substitute for new designs. This part maintains active production status, offers improved tolerance specification (±10% versus ±20%), and provides higher voltage rating (25V) for enhanced design margin. Thickness variation (0.053" maximum) is within acceptable PCB assembly tolerances for 1206 packages.

GRM31MR71E824KA01L (Murata Electronics) is a secondary substitute suitable only for existing production or legacy designs. Although electrically equivalent with superior thickness specification (0.049" maximum), this part carries "Not For New Designs" status, indicating manufacturer discontinuation trajectory. Use is restricted to applications where existing inventory or supply chain commitments justify the selection.

Both substitutes are ROHS3 compliant with unlimited moisture sensitivity rating, ensuring compatibility with standard surface mount assembly processes and storage conditions.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can C1206C824K3RAC7800 replace 1206YC824MAT2A in all applications?

A: Yes, within the constraint that your circuit design operates at or below 25V. The higher voltage rating provides additional safety margin. The improved ±10% tolerance may benefit applications sensitive to capacitance variation.

Q: What is the significance of the thickness difference between these parts?

A: Thickness variations (0.049" to 0.053") are within standard 1206 package tolerances and do not affect PCB assembly compatibility. Verify clearance only if your design has height-constrained applications.

Q: Why is GRM31MR71E824KA01L marked "Not For New Designs"?

A: This designation indicates the manufacturer is transitioning away from this product line. While electrically functional, it should not be selected for new product development. Use only when supporting existing production with established supply agreements.

Q: Are all three parts interchangeable on the same PCB footprint?

A: Yes. All three parts use identical 1206 (3216 Metric) package dimensions and surface mount land patterns. No PCB redesign is required for substitution.

Q: What compliance certifications apply to these substitutes?

A: All three parts are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, meeting current environmental and regulatory requirements for commercial electronics manufacturing.
