Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility is determined by strict adherence to the following parameters:

• Capacitance: Must be 1500 pF
• Tolerance: Must be ±20%
• Package / Case: Must be 2225 (5763 Metric)
• Mounting Type: Must be Surface Mount, MLCC
• Physical Dimensions: Must match 0.225" L x 0.250" W (5.72mm x 6.35mm) and 0.100" (2.54mm) maximum thickness
• Operating Temperature Range: Must support -55°C ~ 125°C
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: Must be MSL 1 (Unlimited)

Substitute parts may vary in:

• Voltage Rating: Higher voltage ratings are acceptable as they provide design margin
• Temperature Coefficient: Alternative temperature coefficients (C0G/NP0 vs. X7R) are acceptable if electrical performance requirements are met
• Product Status: Active status parts are preferred over obsolete classifications for long-term availability

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

2225GA152MAT9A (C0G/NP0 Temperature Coefficient)

This substitute offers improved temperature stability with C0G/NP0 temperature coefficient compared to the X7R main part. Both maintain identical voltage rating (2000V), capacitance (1500 pF), and package dimensions. This part is active status with ROHS3 compliance, providing superior long-term availability and regulatory alignment.

2225HC152MAT9A (3000V Voltage Rating)

This substitute provides elevated voltage rating (3000V vs. 2000V) while maintaining X7R temperature coefficient and identical capacitance. The higher voltage rating offers additional design margin for high-voltage applications. Active status and ROHS3 compliance ensure procurement continuity.

2225WC152MAT9A (2500V Voltage Rating)

This substitute provides intermediate voltage rating (2500V vs. 2000V) with X7R temperature coefficient matching the main part. The voltage increase offers design margin while preserving the original temperature coefficient characteristic. Active status and ROHS3 compliance support long-term supply chain stability.

All substitute parts maintain REACH Unaffected and EAR99 ECCN classifications, ensuring regulatory consistency with the original part.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can 2225GA152MAT9A replace 2225GC152MAT9A in all applications?

A: Both parts share identical capacitance (1500 pF), tolerance (±20%), voltage rating (2000V), package (2225), and operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 125°C). The primary difference is temperature coefficient: C0G/NP0 versus X7R. C0G/NP0 provides superior temperature stability with minimal capacitance variation across temperature. Substitution is valid where temperature coefficient requirements permit C0G/NP0 characteristics.

Q: What is the advantage of higher voltage-rated substitutes?

A: The 2225HC152MAT9A (3000V) and 2225WC152MAT9A (2500V) provide increased voltage margin above the original 2000V rating. Higher voltage ratings allow operation with greater safety margin in high-voltage circuits. Capacitance, tolerance, package, and operating temperature remain unchanged, ensuring mechanical and electrical compatibility.

Q: Are all substitute parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. All substitute parts (2225GA152MAT9A, 2225HC152MAT9A, 2225WC152MAT9A) are ROHS3 compliant. The original part (2225GC152MAT9A) does not specify RoHS status. All parts maintain REACH Unaffected classification.

Q: Do package dimensions differ between the main part and substitutes?

A: No. All parts share identical package specifications: 2225 (5763 Metric), 0.225" L x 0.250" W (5.72mm x 6.35mm), and 0.100" (2.54mm) maximum thickness. PCB layout and assembly processes require no modification.

Q: Why is the main part classified as obsolete?

A: The 2225GC152MAT9A is obsolete status. All substitute parts are active status, ensuring continued availability, manufacturing support, and compliance with current regulatory standards. Active status parts are recommended for new designs and ongoing production.

Q: Are moisture sensitivity levels identical across all parts?

A: Yes. The main part and all substitutes maintain MSL 1 (Unlimited) classification, indicating no moisture sensitivity constraints during storage, handling, or assembly.
