Equivalent & Substitute Parts for C328C104F3G5TA

Part Overview

The C328C104F3G5TA 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. The component is ROHS3 compliant and suitable for general-purpose applications requiring stable capacitance across the operating temperature range of -55°C to 125°C.

Substitute parts are identified when equivalent electrical performance can be maintained while accommodating different circuit requirements, such as higher voltage ratings or alternative physical dimensions, provided all critical parameters remain within acceptable tolerances.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution logic for the C328C104F3G5TA is based on the following criteria:

Mandatory Matching Parameters:

• Capacitance value: 0.1 µF (exact match required)
• Tolerance: ±1% (exact match required)
• Temperature Coefficient: C0G/NP0 (exact match required)
• Mounting Type: Through Hole Radial (exact match required)
• Lead Spacing: 0.200" (5.08mm) (exact match required for PCB compatibility)
• Operating Temperature Range: -55°C to 125°C (exact match required)

Allowable Variation Parameters:

• Voltage Rating: Substitute parts may have equal or higher voltage ratings, as higher ratings provide additional design margin without affecting circuit performance in applications rated for 25V or lower
• Physical Dimensions: Substitute parts may have different body dimensions provided lead spacing remains constant and the component fits within available board space

The C333C104F5G5TA qualifies as a substitute because it maintains all mandatory parameters while providing an elevated 50V voltage rating, making it suitable for applications requiring additional voltage headroom or replacement in circuits where the original 25V rating is insufficient.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Part Selection (C328C104F3G5TA): Use the C328C104F3G5TA when the circuit design specifies a 25V rated component and board space is constrained. This part is active, ROHS3 compliant, and maintains full compliance with REACH and EAR99 export classifications. The compact radial package (0.200" L x 0.125" W) is suitable for high-density PCB layouts.

Substitute Part Selection (C333C104F5G5TA): Use the C333C104F5G5TA when higher voltage margin is required or when the original part is unavailable. The 50V rating provides additional design safety in applications subject to voltage transients or when circuit topology may expose the capacitor to voltages exceeding the nominal 25V specification. The substitute maintains identical electrical performance and compliance status. Physical dimensions are larger (0.280" L x 0.160" W, 0.400" height), requiring verification of available board space before substitution.

Both parts are manufactured by KEMET within the same GoldMax 300 Comm C0G series, ensuring consistent quality and reliability characteristics. Lead spacing remains constant at 0.200" (5.08mm), preserving PCB footprint compatibility.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can C333C104F5G5TA be used as a direct replacement for C328C104F3G5TA?

A: Yes, the C333C104F5G5TA is electrically compatible as a substitute. Both components have identical capacitance (0.1 µF), tolerance (±1%), temperature coefficient (C0G/NP0), and lead spacing (0.200"). The substitute provides a higher 50V rating, which is acceptable in circuits designed for 25V operation. Physical dimensions differ; verify that the larger body (0.280" L x 0.160" W x 0.400" height) fits within available board space.

Q: What is the primary difference between these two parts?

A: The primary difference is voltage rating: C328C104F3G5TA is rated 25V, while C333C104F5G5TA is rated 50V. The substitute also has a larger physical package. All other electrical parameters, including capacitance, tolerance, temperature coefficient, and operating temperature range, are identical.

Q: Are there any compliance or certification differences?

A: No. Both parts are ROHS3 compliant, REACH unaffected, and classified as EAR99 for export purposes. Both maintain active product status with KEMET.

Q: Can the C328C104F3G5TA be used in place of C333C104F5G5TA?

A: No. The C328C104F3G5TA has a lower voltage rating (25V versus 50V). Using a lower-rated component in a circuit designed for the 50V substitute would violate voltage derating requirements and create reliability risk.

Q: What should be verified before substituting C333C104F5G5TA for C328C104F3G5TA?

A: Verify that the larger physical dimensions of the substitute (0.280" L x 0.160" W x 0.400" height) do not exceed available board space. Lead spacing remains identical at 0.200" (5.08mm), so PCB footprint compatibility is maintained. Confirm that the kinked lead style of the substitute is compatible with your assembly process.

Q: Are both parts suitable for the same temperature range?

A: Yes. Both components operate across -55°C to 125°C with C0G/NP0 temperature coefficient, ensuring stable capacitance throughout this range.
