2225GC223MAT1A Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The 2225GC223MAT1A is a high-voltage ceramic capacitor manufactured by KYOCERA AVX, rated at 0.022 µF with 2000V (2kV) operating voltage and X7R temperature coefficient. This surface-mount multilayer ceramic capacitor (MLCC) is designed for general-purpose applications requiring stable capacitance across the operating temperature range of -55°C to 125°C. The part is currently active in production with ROHS3 compliance and unlimited moisture sensitivity rating (MSL 1). Substitute parts are identified when equivalent capacitance and temperature characteristics are maintained while allowing for rated voltage upgrades or tolerance improvements within the same package footprint.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the 2225GC223MAT1A is determined by the following criteria:

• Capacitance Value: Must remain 0.022 µF (no deviation permitted)
• Temperature Coefficient: Must be X7R (ensures stable capacitance across -55°C to 125°C)
• Package / Case: Must be 2225 (5763 Metric) for mechanical and electrical compatibility
• Mounting Type: Must be Surface Mount, MLCC
• Voltage Rating: May be equal to or greater than 2000V (2kV); higher voltage ratings are acceptable as they provide design margin
• Tolerance: May be equal to or tighter than ±20%; improved tolerance is acceptable
• Compliance: Must maintain ROHS3 and REACH compliance status

The substitute part 2225WC223KAT1A meets all substitution criteria with an upgraded voltage rating of 2500V (2.5kV) and improved tolerance of ±10%.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the 2225GC223MAT1A and 2225WC223KAT1A are active production parts from KYOCERA AVX with full ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status. The substitute part 2225WC223KAT1A provides a direct replacement with enhanced electrical performance: the 2500V (2.5kV) voltage rating exceeds the original 2000V (2kV) specification, and the ±10% tolerance is tighter than the original ±20% tolerance. Both parts share identical package dimensions, temperature characteristics, and moisture sensitivity ratings, ensuring mechanical and thermal compatibility in existing designs. Selection between these parts depends on application voltage requirements and tolerance specifications; the substitute part is suitable for applications requiring higher voltage margin or improved capacitance accuracy.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can 2225WC223KAT1A replace 2225GC223MAT1A in all applications?

A: Yes, the 2225WC223KAT1A is a direct substitute. It maintains the same 0.022 µF capacitance, X7R temperature coefficient, and 2225 package dimensions. The higher 2500V voltage rating and tighter ±10% tolerance provide enhanced performance margins.

Q: What is the significance of the voltage rating difference?

A: The substitute part's 2500V (2.5kV) rating exceeds the original 2000V (2kV) specification. This higher rating provides additional design margin and is fully compatible with circuits designed for 2000V operation.

Q: Are the physical dimensions identical?

A: Yes. Both parts use the 2225 (5763 Metric) package with dimensions of 5.72mm L × 6.35mm W and maximum thickness of 2.54mm. They are mechanically interchangeable on PCBs designed for the 2225 footprint.

Q: Does the tolerance improvement affect circuit performance?

A: The substitute part's ±10% tolerance is tighter than the original ±20%. This provides improved capacitance accuracy, which may benefit applications with strict capacitance specifications.

Q: Are both parts compliant with environmental regulations?

A: Yes. Both 2225GC223MAT1A and 2225WC223KAT1A are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, meeting current environmental and regulatory requirements.

Q: What is the packaging difference?

A: The main part is supplied in standard packaging, while the substitute part is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) format. Both are suitable for automated assembly processes.
