1210GC101MAT1A Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The 1210GC101MAT1A is a 100 pF ceramic capacitor rated for 2000V (2kV) with X7R temperature coefficient, manufactured by KYOCERA AVX. This high-voltage surface-mount multilayer ceramic capacitor (MLCC) is designed for general-purpose applications requiring stable capacitance across a wide operating temperature range of -55°C to 125°C. The part is currently active and in stock with 789 units available. Alternative equivalent parts may be required due to inventory constraints, supply chain considerations, or specific performance requirements in high-reliability applications.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the 1210GC101MAT1A is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Capacitance Value: Must be 100 pF
• Voltage Rating: Must be 2000V (2kV) or higher
• Temperature Coefficient: Must be X7R for stable performance across the operating temperature range
• Package: Must be 1210 (3225 Metric) for mechanical and electrical compatibility
• Mounting Type: Must be Surface Mount MLCC
• Compliance: Must maintain ROHS3 compliance and MSL 1 rating

The substitute part C1210C101KGRAC7800 from KEMET meets all these critical parameters. The primary difference is the tolerance specification (±10% versus ±20%), which represents an upgrade in capacitance accuracy without affecting substitutability.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the 1210GC101MAT1A and C1210C101KGRAC7800 are active products with full ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status. The KEMET substitute offers improved capacitance tolerance (±10% versus ±20%), which may provide better circuit performance in applications where tighter tolerance specifications are beneficial. Both parts maintain identical voltage ratings, temperature coefficients, and operating temperature ranges, ensuring functional equivalence in high-voltage applications. Physical dimensions are within acceptable tolerances for 1210 package specifications, with the KEMET part featuring slightly reduced length and increased thickness, both within standard package variation limits.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can C1210C101KGRAC7800 be used as a direct replacement for 1210GC101MAT1A?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical capacitance (100 pF), voltage rating (2000V), temperature coefficient (X7R), package (1210), and operating temperature range (-55°C to 125°C). The KEMET part features tighter tolerance (±10% versus ±20%), which is an improvement for circuit accuracy.

Q: Are there physical compatibility concerns between these parts?

A: No. Both parts conform to the 1210 (3225 Metric) package standard. Minor dimensional variations (length 3.30mm vs 3.20mm, thickness 1.80mm vs 1.90mm) are within acceptable tolerances for surface-mount placement and do not affect PCB layout compatibility.

Q: Do both parts meet the same compliance requirements?

A: Yes. Both the 1210GC101MAT1A and C1210C101KGRAC7800 are ROHS3 compliant, REACH unaffected, and carry MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity ratings.

Q: What is the significance of the tolerance difference?

A: The KEMET substitute has ±10% tolerance compared to the KYOCERA AVX part's ±20% tolerance. This means the KEMET part maintains capacitance value within a tighter range, which may improve circuit performance in applications sensitive to capacitance variation.

Q: Are both parts suitable for high-voltage applications?

A: Yes. Both parts are rated for 2000V (2kV) and feature X7R temperature coefficient, making them suitable for high-voltage general-purpose applications with stable performance across -55°C to 125°C.
