Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the 2220GC103MAT9A is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Capacitance Value: Must be 10000 pF (no tolerance variation acceptable for direct substitution)
• Temperature Coefficient: Must be X7R to maintain equivalent temperature stability characteristics
• Package Format: Must be 2220 (5750 Metric) to ensure mechanical and electrical compatibility with existing PCB layouts
• Mounting Type: Must be Surface Mount MLCC to maintain assembly process compatibility
• Operating Temperature Range: Must support -55°C to 125°C minimum
• Voltage Rating: Must be equal to or greater than 2000V (2kV) to maintain or exceed circuit safety margins
• Compliance Standards: Must maintain ROHS3 compliance and MSL 1 rating

The identified substitute part 2220HC103KAT1A meets all substitution criteria with an upgraded voltage rating of 3000V (3kV) and improved tolerance specification of ±10%.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the 2220GC103MAT9A and 2220HC103KAT1A are active production parts from KYOCERA AVX with full ROHS3 compliance and MSL 1 rating. The 2220HC103KAT1A provides a direct upgrade path with the following advantages:

• Voltage Margin: The 3000V (3kV) rating provides 50% additional voltage headroom compared to the 2000V (2kV) main part, enhancing circuit reliability in high-voltage applications
• Tolerance Improvement: ±10% tolerance specification versus ±20% on the main part enables tighter capacitance control where circuit performance depends on precise values
• Reduced Thickness: 2.79mm maximum thickness versus 3.30mm allows for improved PCB layout flexibility and reduced overall assembly height

Both parts maintain identical capacitance, temperature coefficient, package format, and operating temperature range. The substitute part is mechanically and electrically compatible with existing designs specified for the 2220GC103MAT9A.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 2220HC103KAT1A directly replace the 2220GC103MAT9A in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical capacitance (10000 pF), temperature coefficient (X7R), package format (2220), and operating temperature range (-55°C to 125°C). The substitute part is a direct mechanical and electrical replacement with enhanced voltage rating and improved tolerance.

Q: What is the significance of the voltage rating difference between these parts?

A: The 2220HC103KAT1A is rated for 3000V (3kV) versus 2000V (2kV) on the main part. This 50% voltage increase provides additional safety margin in high-voltage circuit applications. Circuits designed for 2000V operation will function identically with the 3000V-rated substitute.

Q: Does the tolerance difference affect circuit performance?

A: The 2220HC103KAT1A offers ±10% tolerance compared to ±20% on the 2220GC103MAT9A. This tighter tolerance specification provides more precise capacitance values, beneficial for applications where exact capacitance is critical. Circuits tolerant of ±20% variation will operate without performance change.

Q: Are there physical compatibility concerns with the reduced thickness of the substitute part?

A: The 2220HC103KAT1A has a maximum thickness of 2.79mm versus 3.30mm on the main part. This 0.51mm reduction is within standard PCB assembly tolerances and does not create mechanical compatibility issues. The footprint and mounting interface remain identical.

Q: Do both parts meet the same compliance and environmental standards?

A: Yes. Both the 2220GC103MAT9A and 2220HC103KAT1A are ROHS3 compliant, REACH unaffected, and carry MSL 1 (unlimited moisture sensitivity) rating. Both are classified under ECCN EAR99 and HTSUS 8532.24.0020.
