5SS102MBDCA Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The 5SS102MBDCA is a 1000 pF ceramic capacitor rated at 2000V (2kV) with Y5U temperature coefficient, manufactured by KYOCERA AVX. This radial, disc-type capacitor is designed for general-purpose applications requiring high voltage performance. The part is currently obsolete, making equivalent substitute parts necessary for ongoing design support and component sourcing.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution for the 5SS102MBDCA is based on the following critical electrical and mechanical parameters:

Electrical Equivalence Requirements:

• Capacitance: 1000 pF (exact match)
• Tolerance: ±20% (exact match)
• Voltage Rating: 2000V (2kV) minimum (exact match)
• Temperature Coefficient: Y5U (E) (exact match)

Mechanical Compatibility Requirements:

• Mounting Type: Through Hole (exact match)
• Package Type: Radial, Disc (exact match)
• Lead Style: Straight (exact match)

The substitute parts 564R20GAD10 and 564R20GAD10KE from Vishay Cera-Mite meet all electrical and mechanical equivalence criteria. Both parts are manufactured by Vishay and maintain identical capacitance, tolerance, voltage rating, and temperature coefficient specifications. Physical dimensions differ slightly, but both maintain radial disc configuration with straight leads suitable for through-hole mounting.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both 564R20GAD10 and 564R20GAD10KE are functionally equivalent to the 5SS102MBDCA. The substitute parts are manufactured by Vishay Cera-Mite and carry Active product status, ensuring long-term availability and supply chain stability. Both substitute parts are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, meeting current environmental and regulatory requirements.

The operating temperature range of the substitute parts (-25°C ~ 105°C) is narrower than the original part (-30°C ~ 125°C). Applications requiring operation below -25°C or above 105°C must account for this specification difference.

Physical dimensions differ between the original and substitute parts. The original 5SS102MBDCA measures 0.276" diameter with 0.295" lead spacing, while both Vishay substitutes measure 0.331" diameter with 0.252" lead spacing. PCB layout and mechanical clearance must be verified before implementation.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are 564R20GAD10 and 564R20GAD10KE electrically identical?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical electrical specifications: 1000 pF capacitance, ±20% tolerance, 2000V rating, and Y5U temperature coefficient. The difference between the two part numbers relates to packaging and distribution channels, not electrical performance.

Q: Can the Vishay substitutes be used in applications requiring -30°C operation?

A: No. The Vishay substitutes are rated for -25°C minimum operating temperature, while the original 5SS102MBDCA operates to -30°C. Applications requiring -30°C operation must use alternative components rated to that temperature.

Q: Will the physical size difference affect PCB compatibility?

A: Yes. The substitute parts have larger diameter (0.331" vs 0.276") and different lead spacing (0.252" vs 0.295"). PCB footprints must be verified and potentially redesigned to accommodate the Vishay parts. Mechanical clearance around the component must be confirmed.

Q: Are the substitute parts suitable for high-voltage applications?

A: Yes. Both 564R20GAD10 and 564R20GAD10KE maintain the 2000V (2kV) voltage rating required for high-voltage general-purpose applications. Electrical stress analysis should confirm adequate voltage margin for the specific application.

Q: What is the difference between 564R20GAD10 and 564R20GAD10KE?

A: Both parts are electrically and mechanically identical. The designation difference reflects packaging and distribution variations. Selection between the two should be based on inventory availability and supplier preference.
