Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the 224MABA01KGL is determined by strict adherence to the following electrical and mechanical parameters:

Primary Substitution Criteria:

• Capacitance value: 0.22 µF (exact match required)
• Tolerance: ±10% (exact match required)
• Voltage Rating - DC: minimum 800V
• Dielectric Material: Polypropylene (PP), Metallized
• Mounting Type: Through Hole
• Package / Case: Radial
• Lead Spacing: 0.886" (22.50mm)
• Termination: PC Pins

Substitution Categories:

Category 1: Parametric Equivalents — Parts with identical electrical specifications and physical dimensions. These components are direct replacements with no circuit redesign required.

Category 2: Functional Substitutes — Parts with higher voltage ratings or enhanced temperature ranges that maintain all primary electrical parameters. These components provide enhanced performance margins while maintaining circuit compatibility.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

For Direct Replacement (Identical Specifications):

The Nichicon MABA013220KGL and MABA013220KGS components provide parametric equivalence to the 224MABA01KGL. Both parts maintain identical electrical ratings (0.22 µF, ±10%, 800V DC, 400V AC), operating temperature range (-40°C ~ 100°C), and physical dimensions. Both manufacturers' parts are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected. The primary distinction between these Nichicon alternatives is the termination variant designation (KGL versus KGS). Both are classified as active products with current manufacturing status, ensuring long-term availability.

For Enhanced Performance Margin:

The KEMET R474N32205001K and R474N322050A1K components provide functional substitution with elevated voltage ratings (1000V DC, 440V AC) and extended operating temperature range (-40°C ~ 110°C). These parts maintain the 0.22 µF capacitance and ±10% tolerance specification. Physical dimensions differ slightly in width (0.433" versus 0.394") and seated height (0.791" versus 0.728"), requiring verification of available board space. Lead spacing remains constant at 0.886" (22.50mm). The KEMET R474N series carries AEC-Q200 automotive qualification. The R474N322050A1K variant includes X1 rating classification, while R474N32205001K includes X2 rating classification. Both are active products with ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status.

Product Status Consideration:

The obsolete status of the 224MABA01KGL necessitates transition to active alternatives. All identified substitute parts maintain current manufacturing status, ensuring supply chain continuity and technical support availability.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Nichicon MABA013220KGL or MABA013220KGS be used as direct replacements for the 224MABA01KGL?

A: Yes. Both Nichicon parts are parametric equivalents with identical capacitance (0.22 µF), tolerance (±10%), voltage ratings (800V DC, 400V AC), operating temperature range (-40°C ~ 100°C), and physical dimensions (1.043" L x 0.394" W, 0.886" lead spacing). No circuit modifications are required.

Q: What is the difference between the KEMET R474N32205001K and R474N322050A1K?

A: Both parts are electrically identical with 0.22 µF capacitance, ±10% tolerance, and 1000V DC rating. The primary difference is the rating classification: R474N32205001K carries X2 rating, while R474N322050A1K carries X1 rating. Both are AEC-Q200 qualified. Physical dimensions are identical between the two variants.

Q: Can KEMET R474N series parts be used in place of the 224MABA01KGL?

A: The KEMET R474N series components are functionally compatible substitutes with higher voltage ratings (1000V DC versus 800V DC) and extended temperature range (-40°C ~ 110°C versus -40°C ~ 100°C). Physical dimensions differ slightly: width is 0.433" (versus 0.394") and seated height is 0.791" (versus 0.728"). Lead spacing remains compatible at 0.886" (22.50mm). Verify available board space before selection.

Q: Are all substitute parts RoHS and REACH compliant?
