Equivalent & Substitute Parts: C322C104F3G5TA

Part Overview

The C322C104F3G5TA is a 0.1 µF ceramic capacitor manufactured by KEMET, rated for 25V operation with C0G/NP0 temperature coefficient and ±1% tolerance. This radial through-hole component is part of the GoldMax 300 Comm C0G series and maintains active product status with 901 units in current inventory. The part is specified for general-purpose applications requiring stable capacitance across the operating temperature range of -55°C to 125°C. Substitute parts are identified when circuit designs require higher voltage ratings or when inventory constraints necessitate alternative sourcing while maintaining electrical and mechanical compatibility.

Key Parameters

Capacitance	0.1 µF	Must match exactly
Voltage Rating	25V	Minimum requirement; higher ratings acceptable
Tolerance	±1%	Must match or be tighter
Temperature Coefficient	C0G/NP0	Must match exactly
Operating Temperature Range	-55°C to 125°C	Must meet or exceed
Mounting Type	Through Hole Radial	Must match for PCB compatibility
Lead Spacing	0.200" (5.08mm)	Critical for PCB footprint
RoHS Status	ROHS3 Compliant	Regulatory requirement

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the C322C104F3G5TA is permissible when the following conditions are met:

Mandatory Matching Parameters:

Capacitance value: 0.1 µF (no deviation)
Temperature coefficient: C0G/NP0 (no deviation)
Tolerance: ±1% (no deviation)
Mounting type: Through-hole radial (no deviation)
Lead spacing: 0.200" (5.08mm) (no deviation)
Operating temperature range: -55°C to 125°C minimum (no deviation)

Allowable Variation Parameters:

Voltage rating: May be equal to or greater than 25V
Physical dimensions: May increase if PCB layout permits
Inventory availability: Substitute selection based on stock status

The C333C104F5G5TA qualifies as a substitute because it maintains all mandatory parameters while providing a higher voltage rating (50V) and remains within the same product series, manufacturer, and compliance framework.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Part Selection (C322C104F3G5TA): Select this part when the circuit design specifies a 25V rated capacitor and PCB layout constraints require the smaller physical envelope (0.200" L x 0.125" W, 0.260" max height). This part is ROHS3 compliant and maintains active product status with established inventory availability.

Substitute Part Selection (C333C104F5G5TA): Select this part when:

Circuit voltage stress analysis permits operation at 50V rating
PCB layout accommodates the larger physical dimensions (0.280" L x 0.160" W, 0.400" max height)
Inventory availability of the primary part is insufficient
Design margin for voltage transients is required

Both parts maintain identical electrical performance for capacitance, tolerance, temperature coefficient, and operating temperature range. Both are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected. The substitute part provides additional voltage margin while maintaining all critical electrical parameters.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can C333C104F5G5TA be used in place of C322C104F3G5TA in all applications?

A: The substitute part is electrically compatible when the PCB layout accommodates its larger physical dimensions (0.280" L x 0.160" W versus 0.200" L x 0.125" W) and increased height (0.400" versus 0.260" maximum seated height). The higher voltage rating (50V) does not create incompatibility in circuits designed for 25V operation.

Q: What is the significance of the lead style difference (Formed Leads versus Formed Leads - Kinked)?

A: Both lead styles are compatible with standard through-hole PCB mounting. The kinked lead style on the substitute part accommodates its larger body size while maintaining the same 0.200" lead spacing required for PCB footprint compatibility.

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

A: Both parts are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected. No regulatory or compliance differences exist between the main part and substitute.

Q: What should be verified before substituting C333C104F5G5TA for C322C104F3G5TA?

A: Verify that the PCB layout provides adequate clearance for the substitute part's larger body dimensions and increased height. Confirm that the circuit design does not impose physical space constraints that would prevent installation of the 0.280" L x 0.160" W x 0.400" H component.

Q: Is the ±1% tolerance maintained in the substitute part?

A: Yes. Both parts maintain ±1% capacitance tolerance, ensuring equivalent performance in applications requiring tight tolerance specifications.

Q: Do both parts operate across the same temperature range?

A: Yes. Both parts operate across -55°C to 125°C, maintaining C0G/NP0 temperature coefficient characteristics throughout this range.
