2225SC153MAT3A Ceramic Capacitor - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The 2225SC153MAT3A 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 2225SC153MAT3A is determined by the following critical parameters:

Mandatory Compatibility Criteria:

• Capacitance value: 0.015 µF (exact match required)
• Package / Case: 2225 (5563 Metric) (exact match required)
• Mounting type: Surface Mount, MLCC (exact match required)
• Temperature coefficient: X7R (exact match required)
• Operating temperature range: -55°C to 125°C (exact match required)

Allowable Variation Parameters:

• Voltage rating: Equal to or greater than 1500V
• Tolerance: ±20% or tighter (lower tolerance values are acceptable)
• RoHS and REACH compliance status

The identified substitute part 2225HC153KAT1A meets all mandatory compatibility criteria and provides enhanced voltage rating (3000V vs. 1500V) with improved tolerance specification (±10% vs. ±20%), making it suitable for applications requiring higher voltage margin or tighter capacitance tolerance.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the 2225SC153MAT3A and 2225HC153KAT1A are active production parts from KYOCERA AVX with full ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status. Selection between these parts depends on circuit voltage requirements and tolerance specifications:

• 2225SC153MAT3A is appropriate for applications with maximum circuit voltage of 1500V and where ±20% capacitance tolerance is acceptable.
• 2225HC153KAT1A is suitable for applications requiring higher voltage margin (3000V rating) or where tighter capacitance tolerance (±10%) is specified. The doubled voltage rating provides additional safety margin in high-voltage circuit designs.

Both parts share identical physical dimensions, thermal characteristics, and moisture sensitivity ratings, ensuring direct mechanical and thermal compatibility in PCB layouts and assembly processes.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can 2225HC153KAT1A replace 2225SC153MAT3A in existing designs?

A: Yes. The substitute part maintains identical capacitance (0.015 µF), package dimensions (2225), temperature coefficient (X7R), and operating temperature range (-55°C to 125°C). The higher voltage rating (3000V vs. 1500V) and tighter tolerance (±10% vs. ±20%) are compatible with applications designed for the original part.

Q: What are the physical compatibility considerations?

A: Both parts use the 2225 (5563 Metric) package with identical dimensions: 5.72mm length, 6.35mm width, and 2.54mm maximum thickness. PCB footprints, solder pad layouts, and assembly processes are directly interchangeable.

Q: Are there compliance differences between these parts?

A: Both parts are ROHS3 compliant, REACH unaffected, and carry MSL 1 (unlimited moisture sensitivity). No compliance restrictions apply to substitution.

Q: When should the higher voltage rating of 2225HC153KAT1A be selected?

A: The 3000V rating of 2225HC153KAT1A provides enhanced voltage margin for circuits operating near 1500V or where design safety factors require additional headroom. The tighter ±10% tolerance also benefits applications with strict capacitance specifications.

Q: Are packaging options different between these parts?

A: The main part 2225SC153MAT3A is specified with standard packaging. The substitute 2225HC153KAT1A is available in Cut Tape (CT) and Digi-Reel® packaging options, providing flexibility for different procurement and assembly workflows.
