Vishay Cera-Mite 562R5GAD20VC Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Vishay Cera-Mite 562R5GAD20VC is a 2000 pF ceramic capacitor rated for 1000V (1kV) with Z5U temperature coefficient and ±20% tolerance. This component is classified as obsolete, necessitating identification of active equivalent parts for ongoing production and maintenance applications. The part is designed for general-purpose through-hole mounting in radial disc configuration.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the 562R5GAD20VC is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Capacitance value: 2000 pF (exact match required)
• Voltage rating: 1000V minimum (equal or higher acceptable)
• Temperature coefficient: Z5U (exact match required)
• Tolerance: ±20% (exact match required)
• Mounting type: Through Hole (exact match required)
• Package configuration: Radial, Disc (exact match required)
• Lead spacing: 0.252" (6.40mm) (exact match required)
• RoHS compliance: ROHS3 Compliant (maintained)

Two active substitute parts meet these criteria and are listed below.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both substitute parts are active products with ROHS3 compliance, making them suitable for replacing the obsolete 562R5GAD20VC.

The 562R5GAD20 is the direct parametric equivalent from the same manufacturer series (Vishay Cera-Mite 562R). This part maintains identical electrical specifications and physical dimensions, providing the most direct substitution path.

The S202M29Z5UN63L6R is a manufacturer-recommended alternative from the Vishay Beyschlag/Draloric/BC Components portfolio. While it maintains all critical electrical parameters, it features an extended operating temperature range (-30°C ~ 125°C versus -55°C ~ 105°C) and a marginally larger diameter (0.295" versus 0.291"). These dimensional and thermal differences require verification against specific application constraints before implementation.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 562R5GAD20 be used as a direct replacement for the 562R5GAD20VC?

A: Yes. The 562R5GAD20 is a parametric equivalent with identical capacitance, voltage rating, tolerance, temperature coefficient, mounting type, package configuration, and lead spacing. The primary difference is product status (active versus obsolete) and packaging format (bulk versus original packaging).

Q: What is the difference between the two substitute parts?

A: Both parts meet the core electrical requirements. The 562R5GAD20 is from the same Vishay Cera-Mite series with identical dimensions. The S202M29Z5UN63L6R is from a different Vishay division with a wider operating temperature range and slightly larger physical diameter (0.295" versus 0.291").

Q: Are there dimensional compatibility concerns with the S202M29Z5UN63L6R?

A: The S202M29Z5UN63L6R has a diameter of 0.295" compared to the original 0.291". Lead spacing remains identical at 0.252" (6.40mm). PCB layout and component clearance must be evaluated for the marginal increase in diameter.

Q: Do both substitutes maintain RoHS compliance?

A: Yes. Both the 562R5GAD20 and S202M29Z5UN63L6R are ROHS3 compliant, matching the compliance status of the original part.

Q: Which substitute should be selected for new designs?

A: The 562R5GAD20 is recommended for applications requiring exact dimensional and thermal range matching. The S202M29Z5UN63L6R is suitable where extended temperature operation (-30°C ~ 125°C) is beneficial and marginal dimensional variation is acceptable.
