Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility is determined by the following criteria:

Primary Compatibility Requirements:

• Identical capacitance value: 1500 pF
• Identical tolerance: ±20%
• Identical package / case: 2225 (5763 Metric)
• Identical physical dimensions: 0.225" L x 0.250" W (5.72mm x 6.35mm)
• Identical thickness: 0.100" (2.54mm) maximum
• Identical operating temperature range: -55°C ~ 125°C
• Identical mounting type: Surface Mount, MLCC
• Identical moisture sensitivity level: 1 (Unlimited)

Secondary Compatibility Criteria:

• Voltage rating equal to or greater than 2000V (2kV)
• Temperature coefficient: X7R or C0G/NP0 (both acceptable for general purpose applications)

Substitute parts are grouped into two categories based on voltage rating and temperature coefficient characteristics while maintaining all primary compatibility requirements.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Direct Replacement (Same Voltage Rating, Different Temperature Coefficient):

The 2225GA152MAT1A and 2225GA152MAT3A are direct functional replacements for the 2225GC152MAT1A. Both maintain the 2000V (2kV) voltage rating and identical package specifications. The primary difference is the temperature coefficient: C0G/NP0 instead of X7R. Both parts are active products with ROHS3 compliance, providing superior availability compared to the obsolete main part. The C0G/NP0 temperature coefficient offers improved capacitance stability across the operating temperature range, making these parts suitable for applications requiring tighter capacitance tolerance performance.

Higher Voltage Rating Alternatives:

The 2225HC152MAT1A (3000V / 3kV) and 2225WC152MAT9A (2500V / 2.5kV) are suitable substitutes for applications where higher voltage margin is required. Both maintain X7R temperature coefficient matching the original part. These parts are active products with ROHS3 compliance and provide enhanced voltage headroom for circuit protection. Selection between these options depends on specific circuit voltage requirements and design margin specifications.

Compliance and Availability:

All substitute parts are ROHS3 compliant and carry active product status, ensuring long-term availability and supply chain stability. The original 2225GC152MAT1A obsolete status necessitates transition to one of these active alternatives.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can I use 2225GA152MAT1A or 2225GA152MAT3A as direct replacements for 2225GC152MAT1A?

A: Yes. Both parts maintain identical capacitance (1500 pF), tolerance (±20%), voltage rating (2000V), package (2225), and physical dimensions. The temperature coefficient differs (C0G/NP0 vs. X7R), but both are acceptable for general purpose applications. The C0G/NP0 coefficient provides superior capacitance stability across temperature.

Q: What is the difference between 2225GA152MAT1A and 2225GA152MAT3A?

A: Both parts are electrically and mechanically identical. The difference is in the manufacturing code suffix (MAT1A vs. MAT3A), which may indicate different manufacturing batches or process revisions. Functionally, they are interchangeable.

Q: Can I use 2225HC152MAT1A (3kV) instead of 2225GC152MAT1A (2kV)?

A: Yes. The 2225HC152MAT1A is a suitable substitute with higher voltage rating (3000V vs. 2000V). All other parameters—capacitance, tolerance, package, dimensions, and temperature coefficient—are identical. Higher voltage rating provides additional circuit protection margin.

Q: Can I use 2225WC152MAT9A (2.5kV) instead of 2225GC152MAT1A (2kV)?

A: Yes. The 2225WC152MAT9A is a suitable substitute with intermediate voltage rating (2500V vs. 2000V). All other parameters—capacitance, tolerance, package, dimensions, and temperature coefficient—are identical. This part offers moderate voltage margin enhancement.

Q: Are all substitute parts ROHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. All substitute parts listed carry ROHS3 compliance certification. The original 2225GC152MAT1A does not specify RoHS status.

Q: What is the difference between X7R and C0G/NP0 temperature coefficients?

A: X7R provides ±15% capacitance change across the -55°C to 125°C operating range. C0G/NP0 provides superior stability with minimal capacitance change across temperature. For general purpose applications, both are acceptable. C0G/NP0 is preferred when tighter capacitance tolerance across temperature is required.

Q: Are the physical dimensions identical across all parts?

A: Yes. All parts use the 2225 (5763 Metric) package with identical dimensions: 0.225" L x 0.250" W (5.72mm x 6.35mm) and 0.100" (2.54mm) maximum thickness. All parts are surface mount MLCCs with identical moisture sensitivity level (1 / Unlimited).
