C325C104F3G5TA Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The C325C104F3G5TA is a 0.1 µF ceramic capacitor manufactured by KEMET, rated for 25V 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. The part is ROHS3 compliant and features low ESL characteristics suitable for general-purpose applications across the -55°C to 125°C operating temperature range. Identifying equivalent substitute parts becomes necessary when managing inventory constraints, lead time requirements, or when higher voltage ratings are required for circuit design flexibility.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the C325C104F3G5TA are identified based on strict electrical and mechanical parameter alignment. The primary substitution criterion is capacitance value, which must remain at 0.1 µF. The tolerance specification of ±1% is maintained across all equivalent parts to preserve circuit precision requirements.

The temperature coefficient classification C0G/NP0 is non-negotiable for applications requiring stable capacitance across temperature variations. All substitute candidates maintain this specification.

Voltage rating substitution follows the principle that a higher-rated component can replace a lower-rated component in the same circuit, provided all other parameters remain compatible. The C325C104F3G5TA operates at 25V; substitutes rated at 50V or higher are electrically valid.

Mounting type, lead spacing (0.200"), and through-hole radial package configuration must remain consistent to ensure PCB compatibility without redesign. Operating temperature range of -55°C to 125°C is maintained across all substitutes.

Regulatory compliance (ROHS3, REACH Unaffected, EAR99 ECCN) is verified for all substitute parts to ensure they meet the same standards as the original component.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The C333C104F5G5TA serves as a direct electrical substitute for the C325C104F3G5TA. Both components are manufactured by KEMET within the same GoldMax 300 Comm C0G product series and maintain identical capacitance, tolerance, temperature coefficient, and operating temperature specifications.

The primary difference is the voltage rating: the substitute is rated for 50V compared to the original 25V rating. This higher voltage rating does not create incompatibility; circuits designed for 25V operation function correctly with 50V-rated capacitors. The substitute maintains the same lead spacing (0.200"), mounting type (through-hole radial), and lead style (formed leads - kinked), ensuring PCB compatibility without layout modifications.

Both parts are ROHS3 compliant, REACH unaffected, and classified under EAR99 ECCN, meeting identical regulatory requirements. Both maintain active product status with current manufacturing availability.

The C333C104F5G5TA is suitable for direct replacement in applications where the original C325C104F3G5TA is specified, with the added benefit of higher voltage margin for circuit protection.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the C333C104F5G5TA replace the C325C104F3G5TA in existing designs?

A: Yes. The substitute maintains identical capacitance (0.1 µF), tolerance (±1%), temperature coefficient (C0G/NP0), operating temperature range (-55°C to 125°C), lead spacing (0.200"), and mounting configuration. The higher 50V rating does not create functional incompatibility with 25V circuits.

Q: What is the physical size difference between these parts?

A: The C325C104F3G5TA measures 0.200" L x 0.125" W with 0.300" maximum seated height. The C333C104F5G5TA measures 0.280" L x 0.160" W with 0.400" maximum seated height. Both share identical 0.200" lead spacing, but the substitute is physically larger. PCB layout must accommodate the increased body dimensions.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. Both the C325C104F3G5TA and C333C104F5G5TA are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, meeting identical regulatory standards.

Q: Why would I choose the substitute over the original part?

A: The C333C104F5G5TA provides higher voltage margin (50V vs. 25V), which can improve circuit reliability in applications with voltage transients or design margin requirements. It is also available with 1232 pieces in current inventory compared to 1098 pieces for the original part.

Q: Do these parts have the same lead style?

A: Yes. Both components feature formed leads with kinked style, ensuring consistent insertion and soldering characteristics on through-hole PCBs.

Q: What is the temperature stability specification for both parts?

A: Both parts use C0G/NP0 temperature coefficient classification and operate across -55°C to 125°C. This ensures minimal capacitance variation across the full operating temperature range, suitable for precision applications.
