Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution for the 2225SC103MATME is determined by strict adherence to the following electrical and mechanical parameters:

Fixed Parameters (Non-Negotiable for Substitution):

• Capacitance: 10000 pF
• Temperature Coefficient: X7R
• Package / Case: 2225 (5763 Metric)
• Mounting Type: Surface Mount, MLCC
• Operating Temperature Range: -55°C ~ 125°C
• Physical Dimensions: 0.225" L x 0.250" W (5.72mm x 6.35mm)
• Thickness (Max): 0.100" (2.54mm)

Allowed Variation Parameters:

• Voltage - Rated: May increase from 1500V to higher ratings (2000V, 3000V)
• Tolerance: May improve from ±20% to ±10%

The substitute parts listed below maintain all fixed parameters while offering enhanced voltage ratings and improved tolerance specifications, enabling direct board-level replacement without design modification.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All three parts maintain Active product status and full ROHS3 compliance with REACH Unaffected designation, ensuring long-term availability and regulatory conformance. Selection between the main part and substitutes depends on circuit voltage requirements:

• 2225SC103MATME: Select for applications with 1500V maximum operating voltage and where ±20% tolerance is acceptable.
• 2225GC103KAT1A: Select for applications requiring 2000V rated voltage with improved ±10% tolerance specification.
• 2225HC103KAT1A: Select for applications requiring 3000V rated voltage with improved ±10% tolerance specification and maximum inventory availability (114200 pcs in stock).

All parts share identical physical footprint, thermal characteristics, and moisture sensitivity rating, enabling direct substitution at the board level without layout modification.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can 2225GC103KAT1A or 2225HC103KAT1A be used as direct replacements for 2225SC103MATME?

A: Yes. Both substitute parts maintain identical capacitance (10000 pF), temperature coefficient (X7R), package dimensions (2225 / 5763 Metric), and operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 125°C). The higher voltage ratings (2000V and 3000V respectively) and improved tolerance (±10%) represent enhanced specifications that are backward-compatible with 1500V circuit designs.

Q: What is the difference between ±20% and ±10% tolerance?

A: Tolerance specifies the allowable deviation from the nominal 10000 pF capacitance value. The 2225SC103MATME allows ±20% deviation (8000 pF to 12000 pF), while 2225GC103KAT1A and 2225HC103KAT1A allow ±10% deviation (9000 pF to 11000 pF). Applications requiring tighter capacitance control should specify the ±10% tolerance parts.

Q: Are there any packaging differences between these parts?

A: The main part (2225SC103MATME) is specified with standard packaging notation. The substitute parts (2225GC103KAT1A and 2225HC103KAT1A) are supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) format. Both packaging formats are compatible with standard surface mount assembly equipment and result in identical mounted components.

Q: Which substitute part offers the best inventory position?

A: The 2225HC103KAT1A offers the highest inventory availability at 114200 pcs in stock, compared to 4565 pcs for 2225GC103KAT1A and 979 pcs for the main part 2225SC103MATME.

Q: Can these parts be used interchangeably in the same circuit?

A: Yes, provided the circuit voltage rating does not exceed the capacitor's rated voltage. A 3000V-rated capacitor (2225HC103KAT1A) operates safely in a 1500V circuit. However, using a lower-rated capacitor in a higher-voltage circuit creates reliability risk and must be avoided.
