Equivalent & Substitute Parts for 1808GC152MATME

Part Overview

The 1808GC152MATME is a 1500 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 ROHS3 compliant with MSL 1 rating, indicating unlimited moisture sensitivity protection. Finding equivalent or substitute parts may be necessary due to inventory constraints, lead time requirements, or specific packaging preferences while maintaining electrical and mechanical compatibility.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution for the 1808GC152MATME is determined by strict equivalence in the following critical parameters: capacitance value (1500 pF), voltage rating (2000V minimum), temperature coefficient (X7R), package size (1808 / 4520 Metric), and mounting type (Surface Mount MLCC). All substitute parts must maintain compliance with ROHS3 and MSL 1 ratings to ensure compatibility in the same application context.

The substitute parts identified are grouped as follows:

Upgrade Substitute (1808GC152KAT1A): Identical electrical specifications with improved tolerance (±10% versus ±20%), same manufacturer, same package, and tape & reel packaging.

Direct Substitute (CHV1808N2K0152MXT): Equivalent electrical specifications with matching tolerance (±20%), different manufacturer (Cal-Chip Electronics), same package, and tape & reel packaging. Thickness specification differs slightly (2.20mm versus 1.80mm).

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

1808GC152KAT1A (KYOCERA AVX): This substitute offers superior tolerance performance (±10% versus ±20%) while maintaining identical electrical and mechanical specifications. Both parts are manufactured by KYOCERA AVX, ensuring consistent quality and reliability. The upgrade substitute is suitable for applications requiring tighter capacitance tolerance. Tape & reel packaging is standard for production environments.

CHV1808N2K0152MXT (Cal-Chip Electronics, Inc.): This direct substitute maintains electrical equivalence with matching ±20% tolerance and identical voltage, temperature coefficient, and operating temperature specifications. The thickness specification is 0.087" (2.20mm) compared to 1.80mm for the main part; this difference must be evaluated against PCB layout constraints and available board space. All parts maintain ROHS3 compliance and MSL 1 rating. Tape & reel packaging is provided.

Selection between these substitutes depends on tolerance requirements, manufacturer preference, inventory availability, and physical space constraints on the PCB. All three parts are active products with established supply chains.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can 1808GC152KAT1A be used as a direct replacement for 1808GC152MATME?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical capacitance (1500 pF), voltage rating (2000V), temperature coefficient (X7R), package size (1808), and operating temperature range (-55°C to 125°C). The 1808GC152KAT1A offers improved tolerance (±10% versus ±20%), making it suitable for applications requiring tighter capacitance specifications.

Q: What is the significance of the thickness difference between 1808GC152MATME (1.80mm) and CHV1808N2K0152MXT (2.20mm)?

A: The thickness difference of 0.40mm must be considered during PCB layout and assembly planning. If the application has height constraints or tight component stacking requirements, the thinner 1808GC152MATME or 1808GC152KAT1A may be preferred. Conversely, if space permits, the CHV1808N2K0152MXT is electrically equivalent and fully compatible.

Q: Are all three parts ROHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. All three parts—1808GC152MATME, 1808GC152KAT1A, and CHV1808N2K0152MXT—are ROHS3 compliant with MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity rating, ensuring compliance with environmental and regulatory requirements.

Q: What packaging formats are available?

A: The main part (1808GC152MATME) is supplied in bulk packaging. Both substitute parts (1808GC152KAT1A and CHV1808N2K0152MXT) are supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) format, which is standard for automated assembly processes.

Q: Can CHV1808N2K0152MXT from Cal-Chip Electronics replace the KYOCERA AVX part?

A: Yes, from an electrical and mechanical standpoint. The CHV1808N2K0152MXT maintains identical capacitance, voltage rating, temperature coefficient, and operating temperature specifications. However, the thickness specification differs (2.20mm versus 1.80mm), which must be evaluated against PCB design constraints. Both parts are active products with full compliance certifications.

Q: Which substitute should be selected for highest capacitance accuracy?

A: The 1808GC152KAT1A offers ±10% tolerance compared to ±20% for both the main part and the Cal-Chip substitute. For applications requiring tighter capacitance tolerance, the 1808GC152KAT1A is the appropriate selection.
