Engineering Selection Recommendations

562R5GAD50 is recommended as the primary substitute for 562R5GAD50QL. This part maintains active product status with Vishay Cera-Mite, ensuring ongoing availability and manufacturing support. All electrical and mechanical parameters are identical to the main part. Packaging is specified as Bulk, suitable for production environments.

562R5GAD50RE serves as an alternative substitute with identical electrical and mechanical specifications. This part also maintains active product status. The packaging designation differs from the primary substitute but does not affect functional compatibility or performance characteristics.

Both substitute parts are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, meeting current regulatory requirements. Selection between the two substitutes should be based on packaging availability and supply chain considerations rather than technical performance, as all parameters are equivalent.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can 562R5GAD50 directly replace 562R5GAD50QL in existing designs? A: Yes. The 562R5GAD50 is a direct parametric equivalent with identical capacitance (5000 pF), voltage rating (1000V), tolerance (±20%), temperature coefficient (Z5U), and physical dimensions. Through-hole mounting and lead spacing are identical, allowing direct PCB substitution without design modification.

Q: What is the difference between 562R5GAD50 and 562R5GAD50RE? A: Both parts are parametric equivalents with identical electrical and mechanical specifications. The difference is in packaging designation (Bulk versus unspecified). From an engineering perspective, both parts perform identically in circuit applications. Selection depends on procurement and inventory management requirements.

Q: Why is the main part 562R5GAD50QL classified as obsolete? A: Obsolete status indicates the part is no longer in active production by Vishay Cera-Mite. The substitute parts 562R5GAD50 and 562R5GAD50RE maintain active status and provide equivalent functionality for new designs and replacement applications.

Q: Are there any compliance differences between the main part and substitutes? A: No. All three parts are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected. Regulatory compliance is identical across the main part and all substitutes.

Q: Can these parts be used interchangeably in high-voltage applications? A: Yes. All parts share the same 1000V (1kV) voltage rating and Z5U temperature coefficient. They are suitable for identical high-voltage applications within the specified operating temperature range of -55°C to 105°C.

Q: What is the significance of the Z5U temperature coefficient? A: Z5U indicates the capacitance change over temperature follows a specific curve, with maximum capacitance change of ±15% over the operating range. This specification is identical across all three parts, ensuring consistent performance in temperature-varying environments.
