KYOCERA AVX 2225SC103MAT9A Ceramic Capacitor - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The KYOCERA AVX 2225SC103MAT9A is a high-voltage ceramic capacitor with 10000 pF capacitance and 1500V rated voltage in X7R temperature coefficient. This surface-mount multilayer ceramic capacitor (MLCC) is designed for general-purpose applications requiring stable performance across the -55°C to 125°C operating range. The part is Active status and ROHS3 compliant. Substitute parts are identified to provide alternative voltage ratings while maintaining identical capacitance, package dimensions, and core electrical characteristics.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the 2225SC103MAT9A are qualified based on the following criteria:

• Identical Capacitance: All substitutes maintain 10000 pF capacitance value
• Same Package Geometry: All substitutes use 2225 (5763 Metric) package with identical physical dimensions (5.72mm x 6.35mm x 2.54mm max thickness)
• Identical Temperature Coefficient: All substitutes maintain X7R temperature coefficient for stable performance across the operating temperature range
• Same Mounting Technology: All substitutes are surface-mount MLCCs compatible with identical PCB assembly processes
• Compliance Alignment: All substitutes maintain ROHS3 compliance, MSL 1 rating, and REACH unaffected status

The substitute parts differ in rated voltage and tolerance specifications, allowing selection based on application voltage requirements and tolerance needs.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All three parts maintain Active product status and full compliance with ROHS3 and REACH requirements. Selection between the main part and substitutes depends on circuit voltage requirements:

• 2225SC103MAT9A: Use when circuit voltage does not exceed 1500V and ±20% tolerance is acceptable
• 2225GC103KAT1A: Use when circuit voltage reaches 2000V; provides improved tolerance at ±10%
• 2225HC103KAT1A: Use when circuit voltage reaches 3000V; provides improved tolerance at ±10% with highest voltage margin

All parts are electrically and mechanically interchangeable within their respective voltage ratings due to identical capacitance, package geometry, temperature coefficient, and mounting technology.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can I use 2225HC103KAT1A in place of 2225SC103MAT9A? A: Yes. The 2225HC103KAT1A is a direct substitute with identical capacitance (10000 pF), package (2225), temperature coefficient (X7R), and mounting type. It provides higher voltage rating (3000V vs 1500V) and tighter tolerance (±10% vs ±20%), making it suitable for any application designed for the original part.

Q: What is the difference between these substitute parts? A: The three parts differ in rated voltage and tolerance. The 2225SC103MAT9A is rated for 1500V with ±20% tolerance. The 2225GC103KAT1A is rated for 2000V with ±10% tolerance. The 2225HC103KAT1A is rated for 3000V with ±10% tolerance. All other electrical and mechanical parameters are identical.

Q: Are the physical dimensions identical across all three parts? A: Yes. All three 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). They are mechanically interchangeable on PCBs.

Q: Do all parts have the same moisture sensitivity level? A: Yes. All three parts have MSL 1 (Unlimited), indicating no moisture sensitivity restrictions for storage or handling.

Q: Are all parts ROHS3 compliant? A: Yes. All three parts are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, meeting environmental and regulatory requirements.

Q: Can I use a lower voltage-rated part as a substitute? A: No. Substitution must use equal or higher voltage ratings. Using a lower voltage-rated part creates electrical stress and reliability risk.
