Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the 222PPB162K are identified through strict parametric matching across all critical electrical and mechanical specifications. The substitution logic is based on the following key parameters that must remain constant:

Electrical Parameters (Non-Negotiable):

• Capacitance value: 2200 pF
• Tolerance: ±10%
• Voltage rating - DC: 1600V (1.6kV)
• Voltage rating - AC: 650V
• Dielectric material: Polypropylene (PP), Metallized

Mechanical Parameters (Non-Negotiable):

• Mounting type: Through Hole
• Package type: Radial
• Lead spacing: 0.591" (15.00mm)
• Physical dimensions: 0.709" L x 0.197" W (18.00mm x 5.00mm)
• Height - Seated (Max): 0.433" (11.00mm)
• Termination: PC Pins

Environmental Parameters (Non-Negotiable):

• Operating temperature range: -55°C to +105°C
• Moisture sensitivity level: MSL 1 or equivalent

Parts meeting all these criteria are classified as direct parametric equivalents and may be substituted without circuit redesign or performance degradation.
