Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the 1812CC104MAT3A is determined by strict equivalence across the following parameters:

Electrical Parameters (Non-negotiable):

• Capacitance value: 0.1 µF
• Tolerance: ±20%
• Voltage rating: 600V/630V
• Temperature coefficient: X7R
• Operating temperature range: -55°C ~ 125°C

Mechanical Parameters (Non-negotiable):

• Package type: 1812 (4532 Metric)
• Mounting type: Surface Mount, MLCC
• Physical dimensions: 0.177" L x 0.126" W (4.50mm x 3.20mm)
• Maximum thickness: 0.087" (2.20mm)

Compliance Parameters (Required):

• RoHS3 Compliant status
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: MSL 1

The identified substitute part KGF43FR72J104MV meets all these criteria while incorporating soft termination technology for boardflex-sensitive applications. This additional feature does not alter the core electrical or mechanical compatibility with the original part.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the 1812CC104MAT3A and KGF43FR72J104MV are active production components from KYOCERA AVX with identical electrical and mechanical specifications. Selection between these parts is based on application requirements:

Select 1812CC104MAT3A when:

• Standard termination is acceptable for the application
• General-purpose ceramic capacitor functionality is required
• Cost optimization is a primary consideration
• No boardflex or mechanical stress conditions are present

Select KGF43FR72J104MV when:

• The application involves PCB flexing or mechanical stress
• Boardflex-sensitive circuit designs are implemented
• Enhanced mechanical reliability is required
• The FLEXITERM® soft termination feature provides application-specific benefits

Both parts maintain ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status, ensuring regulatory compatibility across global markets. The MSL 1 rating for both components eliminates moisture sensitivity concerns during storage and handling.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can KGF43FR72J104MV be used as a direct replacement for 1812CC104MAT3A in any circuit?

A: Yes. Both parts are electrically and mechanically identical with matching capacitance (0.1 µF), tolerance (±20%), voltage rating (600V/630V), temperature coefficient (X7R), and package dimensions (1812/4532 Metric). The KGF43FR72J104MV includes soft termination technology that does not affect electrical performance in standard applications.

Q: What is the difference between standard termination and soft termination?

A: Soft termination (FLEXITERM®) in the KGF43FR72J104MV provides enhanced mechanical flexibility and stress relief at the component termination points. This feature is beneficial in applications involving PCB flexing, vibration, or mechanical stress. Standard termination in the 1812CC104MAT3A is suitable for rigid PCB applications without flex requirements.

Q: Are the physical footprints identical?

A: Yes. Both parts use the 1812 (4532 Metric) package with identical dimensions: 0.177" L x 0.126" W (4.50mm x 3.20mm) and maximum thickness of 0.087" (2.20mm). PCB footprints are interchangeable.

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

A: Yes. Both the 1812CC104MAT3A and KGF43FR72J104MV are rated MSL 1 (Unlimited), indicating no moisture sensitivity concerns. Standard storage and handling procedures apply to both components.

Q: Which part should be selected for cost-sensitive applications?

A: The 1812CC104MAT3A is the standard option for general-purpose applications. The KGF43FR72J104MV should be selected only when boardflex sensitivity or mechanical stress conditions specifically require the soft termination feature.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. Both the 1812CC104MAT3A and KGF43FR72J104MV are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, meeting regulatory requirements for electronic components in global markets.
