Equivalent & Substitute Parts for 2225WC103MAT3A

Part Overview

The 2225WC103MAT3A is a high-voltage ceramic capacitor manufactured by KYOCERA AVX, rated at 10000 pF with a 2500V (2.5kV) voltage rating and X7R temperature coefficient. This surface-mount multilayer ceramic capacitor (MLCC) in 2225 package is designed for general-purpose applications requiring high-voltage performance. The part is currently active in production with ROHS3 compliance and unlimited moisture sensitivity rating (MSL 1). Alternative equivalent parts may be required due to inventory availability, voltage margin requirements, or tolerance specifications in specific circuit designs.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The 2225HC103KAT1A qualifies as a direct substitute for the 2225WC103MAT3A based on the following substitution criteria:

Matching Parameters:

• Capacitance: 10000 pF (identical)
• Temperature Coefficient: X7R (identical)
• Operating Temperature Range: -55°C ~ 125°C (identical)
• Package / Case: 2225 (5763 Metric) (identical)
• Mounting Type: Surface Mount, MLCC (identical)
• Physical Dimensions: 5.72mm L x 6.35mm W x 2.54mm Max Thickness (identical)
• RoHS Status: ROHS3 Compliant (identical)
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: 1 (Unlimited) (identical)

Upgrade Characteristics:

• Voltage Rating: 3000V (3kV) versus 2500V (2.5kV) — provides 20% higher voltage margin
• Tolerance: ±10% versus ±20% — provides tighter capacitance tolerance

The substitute part maintains all critical electrical and mechanical parameters while offering enhanced voltage performance and improved tolerance specifications, making it suitable for applications where the original part is unavailable or where additional voltage headroom is beneficial.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the 2225WC103MAT3A and 2225HC103KAT1A are active production parts from KYOCERA AVX with identical ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status. The substitute part 2225HC103KAT1A provides enhanced specifications through higher voltage rating (3000V versus 2500V) and improved tolerance (±10% versus ±20%), while maintaining identical physical footprint, mounting characteristics, and temperature performance. Selection between these parts should be based on circuit voltage requirements and tolerance specifications. The substitute part is suitable for direct replacement in applications where the original part specification is met or exceeded.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 2225HC103KAT1A replace the 2225WC103MAT3A in my circuit?

A: Yes. The substitute part maintains identical capacitance (10000 pF), temperature coefficient (X7R), operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 125°C), and physical package (2225). The higher voltage rating (3000V versus 2500V) and tighter tolerance (±10% versus ±20%) make it compatible with applications designed for the original part.

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

A: The primary differences are voltage rating and tolerance. The 2225HC103KAT1A is rated for 3000V with ±10% tolerance, while the 2225WC103MAT3A is rated for 2500V with ±20% tolerance. All other electrical and mechanical parameters are identical.

Q: Are the physical dimensions identical?

A: Yes. Both parts use the 2225 (5763 Metric) package with dimensions of 5.72mm L x 6.35mm W x 2.54mm maximum thickness. They are pin-compatible and require no PCB layout modifications.

Q: Do both parts have the same compliance certifications?

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

Q: Which part should I select for new designs?

A: Selection depends on your circuit's voltage requirements and tolerance specifications. If your design operates below 2500V and can tolerate ±20% capacitance variation, either part is suitable. If higher voltage margin or tighter tolerance is required, the 2225HC103KAT1A is the appropriate choice.
