2225GC103MATBE Ceramic Capacitor Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The 2225GC103MATBE is a 10000 pF (10 nF) high-voltage ceramic capacitor manufactured by KYOCERA AVX, rated for 2000V (2kV) operation with X7R temperature coefficient characteristics. This surface-mount multilayer ceramic capacitor (MLCC) in 2225 package format is designed for general-purpose applications requiring stable capacitance across the -55°C to 125°C operating temperature range. The part is ROHS3 compliant and carries MSL 1 (unlimited moisture sensitivity level) rating. Equivalent and substitute parts are identified based on matching or exceeding the core electrical specifications: capacitance value, voltage rating, temperature coefficient, and physical package dimensions.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the 2225GC103MATBE are categorized based on the following substitution criteria:

Upgrade Substitutes maintain identical capacitance (10000 pF), temperature coefficient (X7R), package format (2225), and operating temperature range, while improving tolerance specification or voltage rating:

• 2225GC103KAT1A: Same voltage rating (2kV) with tighter tolerance (±10% vs. ±20%)
• 2225HC103KAT1A: Higher voltage rating (3kV vs. 2kV) with tighter tolerance (±10%)

Direct Equivalent provides identical electrical specifications from an alternative manufacturer:

• CHV2225N2K0103MXT: Matches capacitance, voltage rating (2kV), tolerance (±20%), and temperature coefficient (X7R) from Cal-Chip Electronics, Inc.

All substitute parts share the same 2225 package footprint, surface-mount MLCC mounting type, X7R temperature stability, and compliance certifications (ROHS3, REACH Unaffected, EAR99).

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

2225GC103KAT1A (KYOCERA AVX) is suitable for applications where tighter capacitance tolerance (±10%) is required while maintaining the original 2kV voltage specification. This upgrade substitute reduces tolerance drift and improves circuit performance predictability. All compliance certifications remain equivalent to the main part.

2225HC103KAT1A (KYOCERA AVX) is appropriate for designs requiring higher voltage margin or operating in elevated voltage stress conditions. The 3kV rating provides 50% additional voltage headroom over the 2kV specification while maintaining identical capacitance and tighter tolerance. This part is suitable for applications where design robustness or long-term reliability under voltage stress is prioritized.

CHV2225N2K0103MXT (Cal-Chip Electronics, Inc.) provides direct electrical equivalence with identical capacitance, voltage rating, and tolerance specifications. This alternative manufacturer source is suitable for supply chain diversification or when Cal-Chip inventory availability is preferred. Physical dimensions are nominally equivalent with minor variations in length (5.70mm vs. 5.72mm) and thickness (3.00mm vs. 2.54mm). All regulatory compliance certifications match the original part.

All substitute parts maintain ROHS3 compliance, REACH unaffected status, and EAR99 export classification, ensuring regulatory compatibility with the original design.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can 2225GC103KAT1A be used as a direct replacement for 2225GC103MATBE?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical capacitance (10000 pF), voltage rating (2kV), temperature coefficient (X7R), package format (2225), and operating temperature range (-55°C to 125°C). The 2225GC103KAT1A offers improved tolerance (±10% vs. ±20%), making it a compatible upgrade substitute.

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

A: The 2225HC103KAT1A provides a higher voltage rating (3kV vs. 2kV) while maintaining the same capacitance value and package footprint. This higher voltage rating offers increased design margin and is suitable for applications requiring enhanced voltage stress tolerance or operating in higher voltage environments.

Q: Are there physical footprint differences between these parts?

A: The 2225GC103MATBE, 2225GC103KAT1A, and 2225HC103KAT1A share identical package dimensions (0.225" L × 0.250" W, 5.72mm × 6.35mm) and thickness (0.100", 2.54mm). The CHV2225N2K0103MXT has nominally equivalent length (5.70mm vs. 5.72mm) and slightly greater thickness (3.00mm vs. 2.54mm), which may require PCB layout verification in space-constrained applications.

Q: Can I use CHV2225N2K0103MXT as a substitute?

A: Yes. The CHV2225N2K0103MXT provides direct electrical equivalence with matching capacitance (10000 pF), voltage rating (2kV), tolerance (±20%), and temperature coefficient (X7R). It is suitable for supply chain diversification. Verify PCB layout clearance due to the slightly increased thickness (3.00mm vs. 2.54mm).

Q: Do all substitute parts have the same compliance certifications?

A: Yes. All substitute parts are ROHS3 compliant, REACH unaffected, and classified as EAR99 for export purposes, matching the regulatory profile of the original 2225GC103MATBE.

Q: Which substitute should I choose for improved tolerance?

A: Both 2225GC103KAT1A and 2225HC103KAT1A offer ±10% tolerance compared to the original ±20%. Select 2225GC103KAT1A for same-voltage operation with tighter tolerance, or 2225HC103KAT1A if higher voltage rating is also beneficial for your application.
