5WH103MOCAL Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The 5WH103MOCAL is a 10000 pF ceramic capacitor rated at 50V with Y5P temperature coefficient, manufactured by KYOCERA AVX. This radial, disc-type component is designed for general-purpose applications with through-hole mounting. The part is currently obsolete, necessitating identification of functionally equivalent alternatives that maintain the same capacitance value, voltage rating, and mechanical compatibility while meeting current availability and compliance requirements.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the 5WH103MOCAL is determined by the following mandatory parameters:

• Capacitance: Must be 10000 pF (no deviation)
• Voltage Rating: Minimum 50V (equal or higher voltage rating is acceptable)
• Mounting Type: Through Hole required
• Package Type: Radial, Disc configuration required
• Lead Spacing: 0.197" (5.00mm) required for PCB compatibility
• Lead Style: Formed Leads - Kinked required

Temperature coefficient and tolerance variations are permitted within the substitute parts, as these parameters do not affect mechanical fit or basic electrical function in general-purpose applications. Substitute parts are grouped by their active product status and compliance certifications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All substitute parts listed maintain the mandatory electrical and mechanical parameters required for direct replacement of the 5WH103MOCAL. Selection should be based on the following criteria:

AR215F103K4R (KYOCERA AVX SkyCap® AR series) is the manufacturer-recommended substitute. This part maintains KYOCERA AVX sourcing continuity and carries AEC-Q200 automotive qualification. The X8R temperature coefficient provides superior temperature stability across -55°C to 150°C. Lead spacing of 0.200" (5.08mm) represents a minor deviation from the original 0.197" specification but remains within standard PCB tolerance for radial component placement.

D103K39Y5PF6TJ5R (Vishay Beyschlag/Draloric/BC Components) provides exact temperature coefficient matching (Y5P) with improved tolerance (±10% versus ±20%). Lead spacing and package configuration are identical to the original part. This option is suitable for applications requiring Y5P temperature coefficient characteristics.

D103K43Y5PH6TJ5R (Vishay Beyschlag/Draloric/BC Components) offers the same Y5P temperature coefficient with elevated voltage rating (100V versus 50V). The higher voltage rating provides additional design margin for circuits subject to transient overvoltage conditions.

D103M29Z5UF6TJ5R and D103M29Z5UH6TJ5R (Vishay Beyschlag/Draloric/BC Components) employ Z5U temperature coefficient with ±20% tolerance matching the original part. The 50V and 100V variants respectively provide alternative sourcing options with identical mechanical compatibility.

All substitute parts are active products with ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status, ensuring long-term availability and regulatory compliance.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can AR215F103K4R be used as a direct replacement despite the 0.200" lead spacing versus 0.197" original specification?

A: Yes. The 0.003" (0.08mm) difference falls within standard PCB manufacturing tolerances for radial component hole spacing. This minor variation does not affect mechanical fit or electrical performance in standard through-hole applications.

Q: What is the difference between Y5P and X8R temperature coefficients?

A: Y5P (B) specifies capacitance change of ±15% over -30°C to 85°C. X8R specifies ±15% change over -55°C to 150°C, providing wider temperature stability. X8R is suitable for applications requiring extended temperature range operation.

Q: Are Z5U variants (D103M29Z5UF6TJ5R, D103M29Z5UH6TJ5R) suitable replacements?

A: Yes. Z5U temperature coefficient specifies ±20% capacitance change over -30°C to 125°C. These parts maintain identical capacitance, voltage rating options, tolerance, and mechanical configuration. Selection depends on application temperature requirements.

Q: What is the significance of the voltage rating upgrade from 50V to 100V?

A: Higher voltage rating (100V variants: D103K43Y5PH6TJ5R, D103M29Z5UH6TJ5R) provides increased design margin for circuits subject to transient overvoltage or ripple voltage conditions. The 100V rating does not affect normal operation in 50V circuits but offers additional protection against voltage spikes.

Q: Are all substitute parts available in the same packaging formats as the original?

A: Packaging formats vary. AR215F103K4R is supplied in Bulk. D103K39Y5PF6TJ5R, D103M29Z5UF6TJ5R, and D103M29Z5UH6TJ5R are supplied in Tape & Reel (TR). D103K43Y5PH6TJ5R is supplied in Cut Tape (CT). Packaging selection should align with assembly process requirements and order quantities.

Q: Which substitute offers the best long-term availability?

A: All substitute parts carry Active product status. AR215F103K4R (KYOCERA AVX) and D103K39Y5PF6TJ5R (Vishay) represent the primary sourcing options with highest inventory levels (1344 Pcs and 2700 Pcs respectively).
