2225SC153MAT1A Ceramic Capacitor - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The 2225SC153MAT1A is a high-voltage ceramic capacitor manufactured by KYOCERA AVX, rated at 0.015 µF capacitance with 1500V (1.5kV) voltage rating and X7R temperature coefficient. This surface-mount multilayer ceramic capacitor (MLCC) in 2225 package is designed for general-purpose applications requiring stable performance across the -55°C to 125°C operating temperature range. The part is currently active in production with ROHS3 compliance and unlimited moisture sensitivity rating (MSL 1). Substitute parts are identified to provide alternative sourcing options or enhanced electrical performance characteristics while maintaining mechanical and thermal compatibility.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the 2225SC153MAT1A is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Capacitance Value: Must be 0.015 µF (exact match required)
• Package / Case: Must be 2225 (5763 Metric) for mechanical and thermal compatibility
• Mounting Type: Must be Surface Mount, MLCC
• Temperature Coefficient: Must be X7R for thermal stability equivalence
• Operating Temperature Range: Must support -55°C to 125°C minimum
• Voltage Rating: May be equal to or greater than 1500V; higher ratings provide design margin
• Tolerance: May be tighter (lower) than ±20%; wider tolerances are not acceptable
• Compliance: Must maintain ROHS3 and REACH compliance status

The identified substitute part 2225HC153KAT1A meets all mechanical and thermal requirements while providing enhanced electrical performance through higher voltage rating and improved tolerance specification.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the 2225SC153MAT1A and 2225HC153KAT1A are active production parts from KYOCERA AVX with full ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status. The substitute part 2225HC153KAT1A provides identical mechanical fit and thermal performance while offering two key advantages: doubled voltage rating (3000V versus 1500V) and improved capacitance tolerance (±10% versus ±20%). These enhancements provide greater design margin and tighter performance specification without any compromise to package compatibility or operating temperature range. Selection between these parts depends on circuit voltage requirements and tolerance specifications of the application.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can 2225HC153KAT1A be used as a direct replacement for 2225SC153MAT1A?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical capacitance value (0.015 µF), package (2225), temperature coefficient (X7R), operating temperature range (-55°C to 125°C), and physical dimensions. The substitute part is mechanically and thermally compatible with no PCB layout modifications required.

Q: What are the key differences between these two parts?

A: The primary differences are voltage rating (1500V versus 3000V) and capacitance tolerance (±20% versus ±10%). The substitute part provides higher voltage rating and tighter tolerance specification.

Q: Does the higher voltage rating of 2225HC153KAT1A affect circuit performance?

A: No. A capacitor rated for higher voltage than required operates identically at lower voltages. The higher rating provides additional design margin and reliability headroom.

Q: Are both parts available in the same packaging options?

A: The main part is available in standard packaging. The substitute part is available in Cut Tape (CT) and Digi-Reel® packaging. Verify packaging availability for your procurement requirements.

Q: Do both parts meet the same compliance standards?

A: Yes. Both parts are ROHS3 compliant, REACH unaffected, and carry identical moisture sensitivity level (MSL 1 - Unlimited).

Q: Which part should be selected for new designs?

A: Selection depends on circuit voltage requirements and tolerance specifications. If the application requires 1500V rating and ±20% tolerance is acceptable, either part is suitable. If tighter tolerance or higher voltage margin is desired, the 2225HC153KAT1A is the preferred choice.
