KYOCERA AVX 2225GC103MATME Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The KYOCERA AVX 2225GC103MATME is a high-voltage ceramic capacitor rated at 10000 pF with 2000V (2kV) operating voltage and X7R temperature coefficient. This surface-mount multilayer ceramic capacitor (MLCC) in 2225 package form factor 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 rating. Equivalent and substitute parts are identified based on matching or exceeding electrical specifications while maintaining mechanical compatibility with the 2225 (5763 Metric) package footprint.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the 2225GC103MATME is determined by the following criteria:

Primary Matching Parameters:

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

Allowable Variation Parameters:

• Tolerance: ±20% or tighter (±10% is acceptable as an upgrade)
• Voltage Rating: 2000V or higher (higher voltage ratings are acceptable as upgrades)
• RoHS Status: ROHS3 Compliant (all substitutes must maintain compliance)
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: 1 (Unlimited) (all substitutes must maintain MSL 1)

Substitutes are classified as either direct equivalents (matching all parameters including tolerance and voltage) or upgrades (improved tolerance or voltage rating while maintaining all other specifications).

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

2225GC103KAT1A (KYOCERA AVX Upgrade) This part provides improved tolerance (±10% versus ±20%) while maintaining identical voltage rating, package, and thermal characteristics. Selection is appropriate when tighter capacitance tolerance is required for circuit performance. All compliance certifications (ROHS3, MSL 1) are maintained.

2225HC103KAT1A (KYOCERA AVX Upgrade) This part provides both improved tolerance (±10%) and elevated voltage rating (3000V versus 2000V). Selection is appropriate for applications requiring higher voltage margin or when circuit design specifications call for 3kV-rated components. All compliance certifications are maintained. The higher voltage rating does not affect PCB footprint or thermal performance.

CHV2225N2K0103MXT (Cal-Chip Electronics Direct Equivalent) This part matches the original specification exactly: 10000 pF capacitance, ±20% tolerance, 2000V voltage rating, and X7R temperature coefficient. Manufacturer is Cal-Chip Electronics, Inc. rather than KYOCERA AVX. All compliance certifications (ROHS3, MSL 1) are maintained. Selection is appropriate when KYOCERA AVX parts are unavailable and direct specification matching is required.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can 2225GC103KAT1A replace 2225GC103MATME in any application? A: Yes. The 2225GC103KAT1A is a direct upgrade with identical electrical and mechanical specifications except for improved tolerance (±10% versus ±20%). It occupies the same PCB footprint and operates within the same temperature range.

Q: What is the advantage of 2225HC103KAT1A over the original part? A: The 2225HC103KAT1A provides two improvements: tighter tolerance (±10% versus ±20%) and higher voltage rating (3000V versus 2000V). The higher voltage rating provides additional safety margin in high-voltage applications. Physical dimensions and thermal characteristics remain identical.

Q: Can CHV2225N2K0103MXT be used as a direct replacement? A: Yes. The CHV2225N2K0103MXT matches all electrical specifications of the original part (10000 pF, ±20%, 2000V, X7R). The only difference is the manufacturer (Cal-Chip Electronics instead of KYOCERA AVX). PCB footprint compatibility is maintained.

Q: Are there any dimensional differences between these parts? A: The 2225GC103MATME, 2225GC103KAT1A, and 2225HC103KAT1A share identical package dimensions (0.225" L x 0.250" W, 5.72mm x 6.35mm). The CHV2225N2K0103MXT has slightly different dimensions (0.224" L x 0.250" W, 5.70mm x 6.35mm length and 0.118" thickness versus 0.100" thickness), but remains compatible with 2225 package footprints.

Q: Do all substitute parts maintain the same compliance certifications? A: Yes. All substitute parts are ROHS3 compliant and carry MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity rating, matching the original part's compliance status.

Q: Which substitute should be selected for cost optimization? A: Selection should be based on application requirements and availability. The CHV2225N2K0103MXT provides direct specification matching from an alternative manufacturer. The KYOCERA AVX upgrades (2225GC103KAT1A and 2225HC103KAT1A) offer improved tolerance or voltage rating at potentially different cost points.
