C327C104F5G5TA Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The C327C104F5G5TA is a 0.1 µF ceramic capacitor manufactured by KEMET, rated for 50V 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 component 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 and substitute parts is necessary for supply chain continuity, inventory optimization, and design flexibility when the primary part becomes unavailable or when alternative packaging configurations are required.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the C327C104F5G5TA is determined by strict equivalence across electrical and mechanical parameters. The following criteria establish valid substitutes:

Electrical Parameters (Non-Negotiable):

• Capacitance value: 0.1 µF
• Voltage rating: 50V minimum
• Tolerance: ±1%
• Temperature coefficient: C0G/NP0
• Operating temperature range: -55°C to 125°C minimum

Mechanical Parameters (Required for Direct Substitution):

• Mounting type: Through Hole Radial
• Lead spacing: 0.200" (5.08mm)
• Lead style: Formed Leads - Kinked
• Manufacturer: KEMET (same manufacturer ensures consistency)

Compliance Parameters:

• RoHS3 compliance
• REACH unaffected status

The C333C104F5G5TA qualifies as a substitute part because it maintains identical electrical specifications and compliance certifications. The physical size difference (0.280" L x 0.160" W versus 0.200" L x 0.125" W) and height variation (0.400" versus 0.320" seated height) represent the only dimensional distinctions. These dimensional differences are acceptable substitutions provided PCB layout accommodates the larger envelope and lead spacing remains at 0.200" (5.08mm).

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Selection Criteria:

The C327C104F5G5TA remains the preferred component when PCB layout constraints require the smaller 0.200" L x 0.125" W envelope and 0.320" maximum seated height. Both the main part and substitute maintain identical electrical performance, temperature stability, and regulatory compliance.

Substitute Selection Conditions:

The C333C104F5G5TA serves as a valid substitute when:

• PCB layout accommodates the larger 0.280" L x 0.160" W physical dimensions
• Vertical clearance permits the 0.400" maximum seated height
• Lead spacing requirement of 0.200" (5.08mm) is satisfied
• Inventory availability of the primary part is insufficient

Compliance Assurance:

Both components maintain ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status, ensuring regulatory requirements are met regardless of which part is selected. Both components are manufactured by KEMET within the active GoldMax 300 Comm C0G series, providing consistent quality and reliability standards.

Inventory Considerations:

Current inventory shows 1022 pieces of C327C104F5G5TA and 1232 pieces of C333C104F5G5TA available as new original stock, providing supply flexibility for production planning.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can C333C104F5G5TA replace C327C104F5G5TA in any application?

A: Electrical and thermal performance are identical. Substitution is valid only when PCB layout accommodates the larger physical dimensions (0.280" L x 0.160" W versus 0.200" L x 0.125" W) and increased seated height (0.400" versus 0.320"). Lead spacing remains identical at 0.200" (5.08mm), so footprint compatibility depends on available board space.

Q: Are there any performance differences between these parts?

A: No. Both components share identical capacitance (0.1 µF), voltage rating (50V), tolerance (±1%), temperature coefficient (C0G/NP0), and operating temperature range (-55°C to 125°C). Low ESL characteristics are equivalent. Electrical behavior in circuit applications is identical.

Q: Do both parts meet the same regulatory requirements?

A: Yes. Both C327C104F5G5TA and C333C104F5G5TA are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected. Regulatory compliance is equivalent for both components.

Q: What is the primary difference between these parts?

A: Physical dimensions and height are the only differences. The C333C104F5G5TA is larger in all physical dimensions. The C327C104F5G5TA is the more compact option. Both use identical lead spacing (0.200" / 5.08mm) and formed kinked lead style.

Q: Which part should I specify for new designs?

A: Specify C327C104F5G5TA for space-constrained applications requiring the smaller 0.200" L x 0.125" W envelope. Specify C333C104F5G5TA only if PCB layout specifically accommodates the larger dimensions or if supply constraints require the substitute.

Q: Are these parts interchangeable on existing PCBs?

A: Direct PCB interchangeability requires that the existing footprint accommodates the C333C104F5G5TA's larger dimensions (0.280" L x 0.160" W) and increased height (0.400"). If the original PCB was designed for the C327C104F5G5TA's compact size, physical interference may occur. Verify PCB layout clearances before substitution.

Q: What is the lead spacing for both parts?

A: Both components maintain identical lead spacing of 0.200" (5.08mm). This parameter is consistent across both parts and does not affect substitution decisions based on spacing alone.

Q: Are both parts currently in production?

A: Yes. Both C327C104F5G5TA and C333C104F5G5TA maintain active product status within the KEMET GoldMax 300 Comm C0G series, ensuring continued availability and consistent manufacturing standards.
