Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both C1206C103J2REC7210 and C1206C103J2RAC7800 are Active products manufactured by KEMET with full ROHS3 compliance and identical electrical and mechanical specifications. Selection between these parts is based on availability and supply chain requirements rather than technical performance differences.

The C1206C103J2RAC7800 substitute maintains equivalent functionality for all specified applications including ESD protection, bypass, and decoupling circuits. Both parts support the same operating temperature range (-55°C to 125°C), voltage rating (200V), and capacitance value (10000 pF) with identical tolerance (±5%) and X7R temperature coefficient stability.

Compliance certifications are equivalent: both parts are ROHS3 compliant, REACH unaffected, and classified under ECCN EAR99 with HTSUS code 8532.24.0020. Moisture sensitivity rating (MSL 1) indicates unlimited shelf life under standard storage conditions for both parts.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can C1206C103J2RAC7800 be used as a direct replacement for C1206C103J2REC7210?

A: Yes. Both parts are identical in all critical electrical parameters (capacitance, tolerance, voltage rating, temperature coefficient), mechanical specifications (package, dimensions, thickness), and compliance certifications (RoHS3, MSL 1). Direct substitution is supported without circuit redesign or board layout modification.

Q: Are there differences in application suitability between these parts?

A: No. Both parts support equivalent applications. The main part is specified for ESD protection, while the substitute is specified for bypass and decoupling applications. All three functions are compatible with the identical electrical and thermal characteristics of both parts.

Q: What is the significance of the different part number suffixes (REC7210 vs RAC7800)?

A: The suffixes indicate different internal manufacturing codes or packaging lot designations within KEMET's product line. These do not affect electrical performance, mechanical compatibility, or compliance status. Both parts share the same base product number (C1206C) and are functionally equivalent.

Q: Are both parts available in the same packaging format?

A: Yes. Both C1206C103J2REC7210 and C1206C103J2RAC7800 are supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) format, suitable for automated assembly processes. Physical dimensions and mounting characteristics are identical.

Q: What is the moisture sensitivity rating, and does it affect storage or handling?

A: Both parts carry MSL 1 (Unlimited), indicating no moisture sensitivity restrictions. These parts can be stored and handled under standard industrial conditions without special desiccant packaging or bake-out procedures prior to soldering.

Q: Are there any compliance or regulatory differences between these parts?

A: No. Both parts are ROHS3 compliant, REACH unaffected, and classified identically under ECCN EAR99 and HTSUS 8532.24.0020. Regulatory and environmental compliance is equivalent.
