Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the C0603Y332K5RAC7867 are identified based on strict electrical and mechanical parameter matching. The substitution logic requires:

Mandatory Matching Parameters:

• Capacitance value: 3300 pF
• Tolerance: ±10%
• Voltage rating: 50V
• Temperature coefficient: X7R
• Operating temperature range: -55°C to 125°C
• Package designation: 0603 (1608 Metric)
• Mounting type: Surface Mount, MLCC
• RoHS compliance: ROHS3 Compliant
• Moisture sensitivity: MSL 1

Allowed Variations:

• Internal construction features (floating electrode with or without soft termination)
• Application classification (boardflex-sensitive vs. general purpose)
• Series designation within KEMET product lines
• Inventory availability

The C0603S332K5RAC7867 qualifies as a direct substitute because it maintains identical electrical specifications, package dimensions, and regulatory compliance while differing only in construction features and application classification.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the C0603Y332K5RAC7867 and C0603S332K5RAC7867 are active KEMET products with identical electrical performance specifications and regulatory compliance certifications. Selection between these parts is determined by application-specific requirements:

Select C0603Y332K5RAC7867 when:

• Application requires soft termination construction for enhanced mechanical stress relief
• Boardflex-sensitive circuit design is specified
• Original design validation requires the FF (Floating Electrode, Soft Termination) series

Select C0603S332K5RAC7867 when:

• General purpose application classification is acceptable
• Inventory availability or supply chain considerations favor the FE (Floating Electrode) series
• Cost optimization is a secondary consideration
• Soft termination feature is not a design requirement

Both parts maintain ROHS3 compliance, unlimited moisture sensitivity rating (MSL 1), and identical thermal performance across the -55°C to 125°C operating range. Electrical performance, package footprint, and regulatory status are functionally equivalent.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can C0603S332K5RAC7867 be used as a direct replacement for C0603Y332K5RAC7867 in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical capacitance (3300 pF), tolerance (±10%), voltage rating (50V), temperature coefficient (X7R), operating temperature range (-55°C to 125°C), and 0603 package dimensions. The primary difference is construction features: the C0603Y includes soft termination, while the C0603S does not. For applications where soft termination is not a critical design requirement, the C0603S provides functional equivalence.

Q: What is the difference between the FF and FE series designations?

A: FF denotes Floating Electrode with Soft Termination construction, optimized for boardflex-sensitive applications. FE denotes Floating Electrode without soft termination, suitable for general purpose applications. Both provide equivalent electrical performance and regulatory compliance.

Q: Are there any thermal performance differences between these parts?

A: No. Both parts maintain identical X7R temperature coefficient characteristics and operate across the same temperature range (-55°C to 125°C). Capacitance stability across temperature is equivalent.

Q: Do both parts meet the same regulatory requirements?

A: Yes. Both C0603Y332K5RAC7867 and C0603S332K5RAC7867 are ROHS3 compliant, REACH unaffected, classified as EAR99, and share the same HTSUS code (8532.24.0020). Moisture sensitivity level is MSL 1 (unlimited) for both parts.

Q: Can these parts be used interchangeably on the same PCB assembly?

A: Yes. Both parts have identical 0603 (1608 Metric) package dimensions: 0.063" L x 0.031" W (1.60mm x 0.80mm) with maximum thickness of 0.034" (0.87mm). PCB footprints and reflow profiles are compatible.

Q: Which part should be selected for new designs?

A: Selection depends on application requirements. If boardflex sensitivity or soft termination is specified, use C0603Y332K5RAC7867. For general purpose applications without these requirements, C0603S332K5RAC7867 is acceptable. Both are active products with equivalent long-term availability.
