2225GC103MAT1C Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The 2225GC103MAT1C is a 10000 pF ceramic capacitor rated for 2000V (2kV) with X7R temperature coefficient, manufactured by KYOCERA AVX in 2225 (5763 Metric) surface mount package. This high-voltage MLCC is designed for general-purpose applications requiring stable capacitance across the operating temperature range of -55°C to 125°C. The part is ROHS3 compliant with MSL 1 rating, indicating unlimited moisture sensitivity protection. 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 2225GC103MAT1C is determined by the following critical parameters:

Mandatory Matching Parameters:

• Capacitance: 10000 pF (exact match required)
• Package / Case: 2225 (5763 Metric) (exact match required)
• Temperature Coefficient: X7R (exact match required)
• Operating Temperature Range: -55°C to 125°C (exact match required)
• Mounting Type: Surface Mount, MLCC (exact match required)

Allowable Variation Parameters:

• Voltage Rating: Equal to or greater than 2000V
• Tolerance: ±20% or tighter (±10% acceptable)
• RoHS Status: ROHS3 Compliant (maintained across all substitutes)
• MSL Rating: 1 (Unlimited) (maintained across all substitutes)

Substitute parts are classified into two categories: Upgrade substitutes (improved tolerance or higher voltage rating) and Direct substitutes (equivalent electrical and mechanical specifications from alternative manufacturers).

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

2225GC103KAT1A (KYOCERA AVX Upgrade - Same Voltage): This substitute offers improved tolerance (±10% versus ±20%), providing tighter capacitance control while maintaining identical voltage rating and package specifications. Selection is appropriate when enhanced tolerance performance is required without increasing voltage margin. Product status is Active with full ROHS3 compliance and MSL 1 rating.

2225HC103KAT1A (KYOCERA AVX Upgrade - Higher Voltage): This substitute provides 3000V (3kV) rating with ±10% tolerance, offering both improved tolerance and increased voltage margin. Selection is appropriate for applications requiring higher voltage headroom or when design specifications call for elevated voltage ratings. Mechanical compatibility is maintained with identical package dimensions and thickness. Product status is Active with full ROHS3 compliance and MSL 1 rating.

CHV2225N2K0103MXT (Cal-Chip Electronics Direct Substitute): This substitute from Cal-Chip Electronics maintains equivalent electrical specifications (10000 pF, ±20%, 2000V, X7R) and identical package classification (2225). Dimensional variations exist: length is 0.224" (5.70mm) versus 0.225" (5.72mm), and thickness is 0.118" (3.00mm) versus 0.100" (2.54mm). Selection is appropriate when alternative manufacturer sourcing is required. Product status is Active with full ROHS3 compliance and MSL 1 rating. Verify PCB layout clearance for increased thickness before implementation.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can 2225GC103KAT1A be used as a direct replacement for 2225GC103MAT1C?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical capacitance (10000 pF), voltage rating (2000V), temperature coefficient (X7R), operating temperature range (-55°C to 125°C), and package dimensions (2225 / 5763 Metric). The 2225GC103KAT1A offers improved tolerance (±10% versus ±20%), making it a compatible upgrade substitute.

Q: What is the advantage of using 2225HC103KAT1A over the main part?

A: The 2225HC103KAT1A provides two improvements: higher voltage rating (3000V versus 2000V) and tighter tolerance (±10% versus ±20%). This substitute is suitable for applications requiring increased voltage margin or enhanced capacitance stability. Package and thermal specifications remain identical.

Q: Can CHV2225N2K0103MXT be used in space-constrained applications?

A: No. The CHV2225N2K0103MXT has increased thickness (0.118" / 3.00mm versus 0.100" / 2.54mm). Verify PCB layout and component clearance before selection. Length dimension is also slightly reduced (0.224" / 5.70mm versus 0.225" / 5.72mm). This substitute is suitable only when PCB layout accommodates the increased thickness.

Q: Are all substitute parts ROHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. All substitute parts listed (2225GC103KAT1A, 2225HC103KAT1A, and CHV2225N2K0103MXT) maintain ROHS3 compliance and MSL 1 (Unlimited) rating, matching the main part specifications.

Q: What is the difference between tolerance ratings ±20% and ±10%?

A: Tolerance defines the allowable capacitance variation from the nominal value. ±20% tolerance allows capacitance to range from 8000 pF to 12000 pF. ±10% tolerance restricts the range to 9000 pF to 11000 pF, providing tighter capacitance control. Selection depends on circuit requirements for capacitance precision.

Q: Can substitute parts be mixed in the same assembly?

A: Yes, provided circuit design accommodates the tolerance and voltage rating variations. However, for consistency and simplified inventory management, using a single part number across an assembly is recommended.
