Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the C0603C102K2RAC is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Capacitance Value: 1000 pF (exact match required)
• Tolerance: ±10% (exact match required)
• Voltage Rating: 200V (exact match required)
• Temperature Coefficient: X7R (exact match required)
• Operating Temperature Range: -55°C ~ 125°C (exact match required)
• Package Type: 0603 (1608 Metric) surface mount (exact match required)
• Physical Dimensions: 0.063" L x 0.031" W (1.60mm x 0.80mm) (exact match required)
• RoHS Compliance: ROHS3 Compliant (exact match required)
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: 1 (Unlimited) (exact match required)

The substitute part C0603C102K2RAC7867 meets all critical electrical and mechanical parameters, enabling direct functional replacement in applications previously designed for the obsolete C0603C102K2RAC.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can C0603C102K2RAC7867 be used as a direct replacement for C0603C102K2RAC?

A: Yes. Both parts are electrically and mechanically equivalent. They share identical capacitance (1000 pF), voltage rating (200V), temperature coefficient (X7R), operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 125°C), and 0603 package dimensions. No circuit modifications are required.

Q: What is the primary reason for substitution?

A: The original C0603C102K2RAC is classified as obsolete. The C0603C102K2RAC7867 is an active product with equivalent specifications, ensuring continued availability for production and design support.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these parts?

A: Yes. The original part is supplied in bulk packaging, while the substitute is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) format. Tape & Reel packaging is standard for automated surface mount assembly processes and does not affect component performance.

Q: Do both parts meet the same compliance standards?

A: Yes. Both the C0603C102K2RAC and C0603C102K2RAC7867 are ROHS3 compliant and carry MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity rating, confirming equivalent environmental and regulatory compliance.

Q: Are there dimensional differences that could affect PCB layout?

A: The substitute part has a maximum thickness of 0.034" (0.87mm) compared to the original 0.035" (0.90mm). This difference is within acceptable tolerance and does not affect PCB design or component placement.

Q: What applications are supported by the substitute part?

A: The C0603C102K2RAC7867 is rated for bypass and decoupling applications. It is suitable for any application previously designed with the C0603C102K2RAC, including general-purpose ceramic capacitor functions.
