KYOCERA AVX 1825GC153MAT1A Ceramic Capacitor - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The KYOCERA AVX 1825GC153MAT1A is a high-voltage ceramic capacitor with a capacitance of 0.015 µF, rated for 2000V (2kV) operation. This surface-mount multilayer ceramic capacitor (MLCC) features X7R temperature coefficient characteristics and is designed for general-purpose applications requiring stable performance across the -55°C to 125°C operating range. The part maintains Active product status with full RoHS3 compliance and unlimited moisture sensitivity rating (MSL 1). Equivalent and substitute parts are identified to address inventory availability, tolerance requirements, or voltage margin specifications in circuit designs.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the 1825GC153MAT1A is determined by three critical parameters: capacitance value, package form factor, and mounting type. All substitute parts must maintain the 0.015 µF capacitance specification and 1825 (4564 Metric) surface-mount package to ensure mechanical and electrical compatibility within the circuit layout.

The two identified substitute parts are grouped as follows:

Tolerance Upgrade (1825GC153KAT1A): This substitute maintains identical voltage rating (2000V) and package specifications while improving tolerance from ±20% to ±10%. This substitution is valid where tighter capacitance accuracy is required without changing circuit voltage margins.

Voltage Upgrade (1825WC153KAT1A): This substitute increases the voltage rating from 2000V to 2500V (2.5kV) while maintaining the same capacitance and package. Tolerance is also improved to ±10%. This substitution is valid where higher voltage headroom is required in the same physical footprint.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All three parts—the main part 1825GC153MAT1A and its substitutes 1825GC153KAT1A and 1825WC153KAT1A—maintain Active product status with full ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected designation. All parts carry MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity rating, eliminating moisture-related handling constraints.

Selection between these parts depends on circuit requirements:

Use 1825GC153MAT1A where the original specification with ±20% tolerance and 2000V rating is acceptable and inventory availability is confirmed.

Use 1825GC153KAT1A where improved capacitance tolerance (±10%) is required without increasing voltage rating, maintaining the 2000V specification.

Use 1825WC153KAT1A where higher voltage margin is required in the circuit design, with the added benefit of improved ±10% tolerance. The 2500V rating provides 25% additional voltage headroom over the original 2000V specification.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can 1825GC153KAT1A be used as a direct replacement for 1825GC153MAT1A?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical capacitance (0.015 µF), voltage rating (2000V), package form factor (1825), and mounting type (surface mount). The substitute offers improved tolerance (±10% versus ±20%), making it a direct upgrade with no circuit modifications required.

Q: Can 1825WC153KAT1A be used as a direct replacement for 1825GC153MAT1A?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical capacitance (0.015 µF), package form factor (1825), and mounting type (surface mount). The substitute provides higher voltage rating (2500V versus 2000V) and improved tolerance (±10% versus ±20%), making it a direct upgrade with enhanced voltage margin.

Q: What is the difference between these substitute parts?

A: 1825GC153KAT1A maintains the 2000V voltage rating while improving tolerance to ±10%. 1825WC153KAT1A increases the voltage rating to 2500V and also provides ±10% tolerance. Both are manufactured by KYOCERA AVX in the same 1825 package.

Q: Are there any packaging differences between these parts?

A: The main part 1825GC153MAT1A is specified with standard packaging. Both substitute parts are supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) format. All three parts use identical 1825 (4564 Metric) surface-mount package specifications with matching physical dimensions (4.50mm × 6.40mm × 2.54mm max thickness).

Q: Do all three parts meet the same compliance standards?

A: Yes. All three parts are ROHS3 compliant, REACH unaffected, and carry MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity rating. All maintain Active product status with identical operating temperature range (-55°C to 125°C) and X7R temperature coefficient characteristics.
