2225SC102MAT1A Ceramic Capacitor - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The 2225SC102MAT1A is a high-voltage ceramic capacitor manufactured by KYOCERA AVX with a capacitance of 1000 pF and rated voltage of 1500V (1.5kV). This surface-mount multilayer ceramic capacitor (MLCC) features X7R temperature coefficient characteristics and is designed for general-purpose applications requiring stable capacitance across the operating temperature range of -55°C to 125°C. The part maintains Active product status and is ROHS3 compliant with unlimited moisture sensitivity level (MSL 1). Substitute parts are identified when equivalent electrical performance and mechanical compatibility are required due to inventory constraints, design optimization, or application-specific voltage margin requirements.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the 2225SC102MAT1A is permissible when the following conditions are met:

Mandatory Matching Parameters:

• Capacitance value: 1000 pF (exact match required)
• Temperature coefficient: X7R (ensures equivalent temperature stability)
• Package / Case: 2225 (5763 Metric) (ensures mechanical and footprint compatibility)
• Mounting type: Surface Mount, MLCC (ensures assembly compatibility)
• Physical dimensions: 0.225" L x 0.250" W (5.72mm x 6.35mm) (ensures PCB fit)
• Thickness (Max): 0.100" (2.54mm) (ensures clearance compatibility)
• Operating temperature range: -55°C to 125°C (ensures functional equivalence)
• RoHS Status: ROHS3 Compliant (ensures regulatory compliance)
• MSL Rating: 1 (Unlimited) (ensures handling compatibility)

Allowable Variation Parameters:

• Voltage rating: May be equal to or greater than 1500V (higher voltage rating provides design margin)
• Tolerance: May be tighter (±10% or better) than ±20% (improved accuracy is acceptable)
• Packaging format: May differ (bulk, tape & reel) without affecting electrical or mechanical function

The substitute part 2225GC102KAT1A meets all mandatory matching criteria while providing an upgraded voltage rating of 2000V (2kV) and improved tolerance of ±10%.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The 2225GC102KAT1A qualifies as a direct substitute for the 2225SC102MAT1A based on the following engineering criteria:

Electrical Compatibility: Both parts share identical capacitance (1000 pF), temperature coefficient (X7R), and operating temperature range (-55°C to 125°C). The substitute part's ±10% tolerance is superior to the main part's ±20% tolerance, providing improved circuit accuracy without introducing incompatibility.

Mechanical Compatibility: Both parts utilize the identical 2225 (5763 Metric) package with matching physical dimensions (0.225" L x 0.250" W / 5.72mm x 6.35mm) and maximum thickness (0.100" / 2.54mm). Surface-mount assembly compatibility is preserved.

Voltage Margin: The substitute part's 2000V (2kV) rating exceeds the main part's 1500V (1.5kV) rating, providing additional design margin without introducing any electrical or mechanical constraints.

Regulatory Compliance: Both parts maintain ROHS3 compliance and identical MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity ratings, ensuring equivalent handling and environmental compliance.

Product Status: Both parts maintain Active product status with established supply chains and manufacturing continuity.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 2225GC102KAT1A be used as a direct replacement for the 2225SC102MAT1A in existing designs?

A: Yes. The substitute part maintains identical capacitance, package dimensions, mounting type, and temperature characteristics. The higher voltage rating and improved tolerance introduce no compatibility issues and provide design margin benefits.

Q: What is the significance of the voltage rating difference between 1500V and 2000V?

A: The substitute part's higher voltage rating (2000V) indicates it can safely operate at higher electric field stresses. In applications designed for 1500V operation, the 2000V-rated part provides additional safety margin without affecting circuit performance or introducing derating concerns.

Q: Are the physical dimensions identical between both parts?

A: Yes. Both parts use the 2225 (5763 Metric) package with identical dimensions of 0.225" L x 0.250" W (5.72mm x 6.35mm) and maximum thickness of 0.100" (2.54mm). PCB footprints and assembly processes remain unchanged.

Q: Does the ±10% tolerance of the substitute part affect circuit design?

A: No. The substitute part's ±10% tolerance is tighter than the main part's ±20% tolerance, meaning it provides improved capacitance accuracy. This represents an enhancement rather than a constraint for circuit design.

Q: Are both parts ROHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. Both the 2225SC102MAT1A and 2225GC102KAT1A maintain ROHS3 compliance and identical MSL 1 (Unlimited) ratings, ensuring equivalent environmental and handling compliance.

Q: What packaging formats are available for the substitute part?

A: The 2225GC102KAT1A is available in Tape & Reel (TR) packaging format. Verify packaging requirements for your specific procurement and assembly process.
