Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the KGK58CR73H102KV2B be used as a direct replacement for the CAS26C102KARFC?

A: Yes. Both components meet identical electrical, mechanical, and compliance specifications. No design changes are required for substitution.

Q: Are there any differences in physical dimensions between these parts?

A: No. Both components use the 2211 (5728 Metric) package with identical dimensions of 0.224" L x 0.110" W (5.70mm x 2.80mm) and maximum thickness of 0.110" (2.80mm).

Q: Do both parts meet the same safety ratings?

A: Yes. Both the CAS26C102KARFC and KGK58CR73H102KV2B carry X1 and Y2 safety ratings, making them suitable for identical safety-critical applications.

Q: What is the significance of the X7R temperature coefficient?

A: X7R indicates a temperature coefficient of ±15% over the operating range of -55°C to 125°C. This specification is identical for both parts and ensures stable capacitance performance across the full operating temperature range.

Q: Are moisture sensitivity considerations the same for both parts?

A: Yes. Both components have Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 (Unlimited), indicating no special moisture handling or baking requirements during assembly.

Q: Can these parts be used interchangeably in production?

A: Yes. Both parts are supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) packaging and are compatible with standard surface mount assembly equipment. No process modifications are required when switching between manufacturers.

Q: What is the tolerance specification, and does it apply to both parts?

A: Both parts have ±10% capacitance tolerance. This means the actual capacitance value will fall within the range of 900 pF to 1100 pF at 25°C.
