Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the 2225GC103MAT3A\SB is determined by the following criteria:

Critical Parameters (Must Match or Exceed):

• Capacitance: 10000 pF (exact match required)
• Voltage Rating: Minimum 2000V (2kV); higher ratings are acceptable
• Temperature Coefficient: X7R (required for temperature stability)
• Package / Case: 2225 (5763 Metric) (required for mechanical compatibility)
• Mounting Type: Surface Mount, MLCC (required for assembly compatibility)

Acceptable Variations:

• Tolerance: ±10% is superior to ±20% and provides tighter capacitance control
• Packaging Format: Tape & Reel (TR) is compatible with the original packaging
• Manufacturer: Alternative manufacturers are acceptable if all electrical and mechanical parameters align

Substitute Categories:

1. Upgrade Substitutes – Parts with improved tolerance (±10% vs ±20%) or higher voltage rating (3kV vs 2kV), maintaining identical capacitance and package
2. Direct Substitutes – Parts from alternative manufacturers with matching electrical specifications and package dimensions

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

2225GC103KAT1A (KYOCERA AVX Upgrade)

This part is a direct upgrade from the 2225GC103MAT3A\SB, offering improved tolerance (±10% vs ±20%) while maintaining identical voltage rating, capacitance, and package specifications. Both parts are ROHS3 compliant with MSL 1 rating and active product status. Selection of this part provides superior capacitance accuracy for applications requiring tighter tolerance control.

2225HC103KAT1A (KYOCERA AVX High-Voltage Upgrade)

This part exceeds the voltage specification of the main part (3000V vs 2000V) while maintaining identical capacitance, tolerance (±10%), and package dimensions. Both parts are ROHS3 compliant with MSL 1 rating and active product status. Selection of this part is appropriate for applications requiring higher voltage margin or future design flexibility.

CHV2225N2K0103MXT (Cal-Chip Electronics Direct Substitute)

This part from Cal-Chip Electronics matches the electrical specifications of the main part (10000 pF, ±20%, 2000V) and maintains the 2225 package footprint. Dimensional variation exists in thickness (0.118" vs 0.100") and length (0.224" vs 0.225"), which remain within acceptable mechanical tolerances for 2225 package classification. Both parts are ROHS3 compliant with MSL 1 rating and active product status. This part is suitable for direct substitution where Cal-Chip sourcing is preferred or required.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can 2225GC103KAT1A replace 2225GC103MAT3A\SB in my design?

A: Yes. Both parts have identical capacitance (10000 pF), voltage rating (2000V), temperature coefficient (X7R), and package (2225). The 2225GC103KAT1A offers improved tolerance (±10% vs ±20%), making it a direct upgrade with no design modifications required.

Q: What is the difference between 2225GC103KAT1A and 2225HC103KAT1A?

A: The primary difference is voltage rating: 2225GC103KAT1A is rated for 2000V, while 2225HC103KAT1A is rated for 3000V. Both have identical capacitance (10000 pF), tolerance (±10%), and package (2225). The higher voltage rating of 2225HC103KAT1A provides additional design margin for applications subject to voltage transients or future specification changes.

Q: Is CHV2225N2K0103MXT mechanically compatible with the original part?

A: Yes. CHV2225N2K0103MXT maintains the 2225 package classification with minor dimensional variations: length 0.224" vs 0.225" and thickness 0.118" vs 0.100". These variations remain within acceptable mechanical tolerances for 2225 package footprints and do not affect PCB assembly compatibility.

Q: Can I use a higher voltage-rated part (3kV) in place of a 2kV part?

A: Yes. Higher voltage ratings provide additional electrical margin and are electrically compatible with lower voltage designs. The 2225HC103KAT1A (3kV) can replace the 2225GC103MAT3A\SB (2kV) without design modifications, as capacitance and all other electrical parameters remain identical.

Q: Are all substitute parts ROHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. All parts listed—2225GC103MAT3A\SB, 2225GC103KAT1A, 2225HC103KAT1A, and CHV2225N2K0103MXT—are ROHS3 compliant with MSL 1 rating, meeting environmental and moisture sensitivity requirements for industrial and commercial applications.

Q: What packaging formats are available for these parts?

A: The main part (2225GC103MAT3A\SB) is supplied in standard packaging. The substitute parts 2225GC103KAT1A, 2225HC103KAT1A, and CHV2225N2K0103MXT are available in Tape & Reel (TR) format, which is standard for high-volume surface mount assembly operations.
