Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution for the 125LS10QAM1-R is determined by strict equivalence across all critical electrical and mechanical parameters. The following parameters must remain identical for direct replacement:

• Capacitance value: 10000 pF
• Tolerance: ±20%
• Voltage rating: 400VAC
• Temperature coefficient: Y5V (F)
• Operating temperature range: -30°C ~ 125°C
• Mounting configuration: Through Hole, Radial Disc
• Lead spacing: 0.374" (9.50mm)
• Safety ratings: X1, Y4
• Compliance certifications: ROHS3, REACH Unaffected

The identified substitute parts maintain full parametric equivalence and are sourced from the same manufacturer series (Cera-Mite 125L), ensuring compatibility with existing PCB layouts and circuit requirements.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both 125LS10-R and 125LS10GJ-R are direct parametric equivalents to the obsolete 125LS10QAM1-R. Selection between these active alternatives should be based on availability and supply chain considerations:

125LS10-R: Active product status with 1501 units in stock. Recommended as primary substitute for new designs and production continuity.

125LS10GJ-R: Active product status with 993 units in stock. Suitable as secondary alternative or when primary substitute availability is constrained.

Both parts maintain full compliance with ROHS3 and REACH requirements, ensuring regulatory conformance for safety-critical applications. Mechanical and electrical interchangeability is guaranteed across all three part numbers within the Cera-Mite 125L series.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can 125LS10-R and 125LS10GJ-R be used interchangeably with 125LS10QAM1-R?

A: Yes. Both parts are parametric equivalents with identical capacitance, voltage rating, temperature coefficient, physical dimensions, and lead spacing. Direct PCB substitution is possible without circuit modification.

Q: What is the difference between the three part numbers?

A: The primary difference is product status. The 125LS10QAM1-R is obsolete, while 125LS10-R and 125LS10GJ-R are active products from the same manufacturer series. All electrical and mechanical specifications are identical.

Q: Are there any compliance differences between these parts?

A: No. All three parts carry identical ROHS3 compliance, REACH Unaffected status, and safety ratings (X1, Y4). Regulatory requirements are met uniformly across all variants.

Q: Does packaging differ between these parts?

A: The main part (125LS10QAM1-R) is supplied in standard packaging, while both substitutes are supplied in bulk packaging. Physical component specifications and through-hole mounting characteristics remain unchanged.

Q: Which substitute should be selected for new production?

A: Either 125LS10-R or 125LS10GJ-R is acceptable. Selection should be based on current inventory availability and supply chain lead times. Both are active products with equivalent performance characteristics.
