2225SC223MAT3A Ceramic Capacitor - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The 2225SC223MAT3A is a high-voltage ceramic capacitor manufactured by KYOCERA AVX, rated at 0.022 µF capacitance with 1500V (1.5kV) voltage rating and 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 temperature range. The part is currently active in production with ROHS3 compliance and unlimited moisture sensitivity rating (MSL 1). Substitute parts are identified when equivalent electrical performance and mechanical compatibility are required, or when design specifications allow for enhanced ratings.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the 2225SC223MAT3A is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Capacitance Value: Must be 0.022 µF (exact match required)
• Package / Case: Must be 2225 (5763 Metric) for mechanical and electrical 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 tolerance value) than ±20%
• Compliance: Must maintain ROHS3 and REACH compliance status

The identified substitute part 2225WC223KAT1A meets all mechanical and electrical compatibility criteria while providing an enhanced voltage rating of 2500V (2.5kV) and improved tolerance of ±10%.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the 2225SC223MAT3A and 2225WC223KAT1A are active production parts from KYOCERA AVX with full ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status. The substitute part 2225WC223KAT1A provides identical mechanical compatibility and electrical performance at the specified capacitance value while offering enhanced voltage rating (2500V versus 1500V) and tighter tolerance (±10% versus ±20%). Selection between these parts depends on circuit voltage requirements and tolerance specifications. The main part is suitable for applications with 1500V maximum voltage stress and ±20% tolerance acceptance. The substitute part is appropriate for designs requiring higher voltage margin or tighter capacitance tolerance within the same physical footprint and thermal operating range.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can 2225WC223KAT1A replace 2225SC223MAT3A in all applications?

A: Yes, provided the circuit design accommodates the higher voltage rating (2500V). The substitute part maintains identical capacitance (0.022 µF), package dimensions (2225), temperature coefficient (X7R), and operating temperature range (-55°C to 125°C). The tighter tolerance (±10%) is a performance enhancement.

Q: What is the significance of the voltage rating difference?

A: The substitute part is rated for 2500V versus the main part's 1500V. This provides additional design margin in high-voltage applications. Both parts are mechanically and electrically compatible within the 2225 package footprint.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these parts?

A: The main part is specified with standard packaging, while the substitute part is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) format. Both use identical 2225 (5763 Metric) case dimensions and are surface-mount compatible.

Q: Do both parts meet the same compliance standards?

A: Yes. Both 2225SC223MAT3A and 2225WC223KAT1A are ROHS3 compliant, REACH unaffected, and classified as EAR99 for export control purposes.

Q: What does the X7R temperature coefficient indicate?

A: X7R indicates a temperature coefficient of ±15% across the -55°C to 125°C operating range. Both parts maintain this specification, ensuring stable capacitance performance across the full temperature spectrum.
