KYOCERA AVX 1808GC150MAT1A Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The KYOCERA AVX 1808GC150MAT1A is a 15 pF ceramic capacitor rated for 2000V (2kV) with X7R temperature coefficient, designed for high-voltage general-purpose applications. This surface-mount multilayer ceramic capacitor (MLCC) in 1808 (4520 Metric) package form factor is actively produced and stocked. Substitute parts are identified when equivalent electrical performance and mechanical compatibility can be maintained within the specified parameter tolerances.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the 1808GC150MAT1A is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Capacitance Value: Must be 15 pF to maintain circuit function
• Package / Case: Must be 1808 (4520 Metric) for mechanical compatibility with PCB footprints
• Mounting Type: Must be Surface Mount, MLCC
• Operating Temperature Range: Must support -55°C ~ 125°C minimum
• Voltage Rating: Must meet or exceed 2000V (2kV) to ensure safe operation under rated conditions
• RoHS Compliance: Must maintain ROHS3 Compliant status for regulatory alignment
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: Must be MSL 1 (Unlimited) for handling and storage compatibility

The TDK Corporation C4520C0G3F150K110KA meets all substitution criteria. While it features a tighter tolerance (±10% versus ±20%) and higher voltage rating (3000V versus 2000V), these represent performance improvements that do not compromise compatibility. The C0G/NP0 temperature coefficient provides superior stability compared to X7R, and the part maintains identical package dimensions, mounting characteristics, and compliance certifications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the KYOCERA AVX 1808GC150MAT1A and TDK C4520C0G3F150K110KA are Active status products with full ROHS3 compliance and REACH Unaffected designation, ensuring regulatory alignment for current and future applications. The TDK substitute provides enhanced performance margins through higher voltage rating and improved tolerance specification, with no compromise to mechanical compatibility or environmental operating range. Selection between these parts should be based on design margin requirements, supply chain availability, and cost considerations.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the TDK C4520C0G3F150K110KA be used as a direct replacement for the KYOCERA AVX 1808GC150MAT1A?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical 15 pF capacitance, 1808 (4520 Metric) package dimensions, surface-mount configuration, and operating temperature range. The TDK part's higher voltage rating (3000V versus 2000V) and tighter tolerance (±10% versus ±20%) represent performance improvements that maintain full compatibility.

Q: Are there physical dimension differences between these parts?

A: The parts have comparable dimensions within the 1808 package specification. The KYOCERA AVX part measures 0.181" L × 0.079" W × 0.071" thickness, while the TDK part measures 0.177" L × 0.079" W × 0.051" thickness. Both fit standard 1808 PCB footprints without modification.

Q: Do both parts have the same moisture sensitivity requirements?

A: Yes. Both parts are rated MSL 1 (Unlimited), requiring no special moisture control during storage or handling.

Q: What is the difference between X7R and C0G/NP0 temperature coefficients?

A: X7R provides ±15% capacitance variation across the -55°C ~ 125°C operating range. C0G/NP0 provides superior stability with minimal capacitance drift across temperature. For general-purpose applications, both are acceptable; C0G/NP0 is preferred when temperature stability is critical.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. Both parts are ROHS3 Compliant and REACH Unaffected, meeting current regulatory requirements for electronic component manufacturing and use.
