Equivalent & Substitute Parts for 5SS152MADCD

Part Overview

The 5SS152MADCD is a 1500 pF ceramic capacitor rated at 2000V (2kV) with Y5U temperature coefficient, manufactured by KYOCERA AVX in a radial, disc configuration for through-hole mounting. This component is classified as obsolete, making identification of functionally equivalent alternatives necessary for ongoing system support and procurement planning. The part serves general-purpose applications requiring high-voltage ceramic capacitance in compact radial packages.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the 5SS152MADCD is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Capacitance Value: Must be 1500 pF
• Tolerance: Must be ±20% or tighter
• Voltage Rating: Must be 2000V (2kV) or higher
• Temperature Coefficient: Must be Y5U (E)
• Mounting Configuration: Must be through-hole with radial, disc package
• Lead Style: Must be straight leads

The substitute part 564R20GAD15 (Vishay Cera-Mite) meets all electrical specifications. Physical dimensions differ due to manufacturing design variations between manufacturers, but both parts maintain compatibility with standard through-hole PCB layouts designed for radial ceramic capacitors.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The 564R20GAD15 is the designated manufacturer-recommended substitute for the 5SS152MADCD. Both parts share identical electrical specifications: 1500 pF capacitance, ±20% tolerance, 2000V rating, and Y5U temperature coefficient. The substitute part carries active product status and ROHS3 compliance certification, providing advantages for new procurement and regulatory adherence.

The operating temperature range of the substitute (−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 evaluate this limitation against system requirements. Physical dimensions differ between the two parts; PCB layout verification is necessary to confirm mechanical fit within existing through-hole mounting patterns.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 564R20GAD15 be used as a direct replacement for the 5SS152MADCD?

A: Yes, from an electrical standpoint. Both parts have identical capacitance (1500 pF), tolerance (±20%), voltage rating (2000V), and temperature coefficient (Y5U). Physical dimensions differ; verify that the substitute's larger body diameter (8.40mm vs. 7.00mm) and greater height (13.20mm vs. 4.00mm) fit within your PCB layout constraints.

Q: What is the significance of the Y5U temperature coefficient?

A: Y5U designates a ceramic capacitor with a temperature coefficient of −82% to +22% over the operating range. This classification indicates the capacitance will vary predictably with temperature. Both the original and substitute parts share this specification, ensuring equivalent thermal behavior.

Q: Why is the original part obsolete?

A: The 5SS152MADCD is classified as obsolete by the manufacturer. The 564R20GAD15 remains in active production, ensuring long-term availability and supply chain stability for new designs and ongoing support applications.

Q: Are there compliance differences between the two parts?

A: The substitute part (564R20GAD15) carries ROHS3 compliance certification. The original part's RoHS status is not specified in available documentation. Both parts are REACH Unaffected and carry EAR99 ECCN classification.

Q: What should I verify before implementing this substitution?

A: Confirm PCB layout accommodates the substitute's physical dimensions (0.331" diameter, 0.520" height, 0.252" lead spacing). Verify that your application's operating temperature range does not exceed −25°C to 105°C. Validate that the substitute's availability and lead time align with your procurement schedule.
