Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution for the ECJ-2VF1H683Z is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Capacitance Value: 0.068 µF (exact match required)
• Tolerance: -20%, +80% (defines acceptable capacitance variation)
• Voltage Rating: 50V (minimum rated voltage for safe operation)
• Temperature Coefficient: Y5V (F) (ensures capacitance stability within specified temperature range)
• Operating Temperature Range: -30°C ~ 85°C (functional operating limits)
• Package / Case: 0805 (2012 Metric) (physical and electrical footprint compatibility)
• Mounting Type: Surface Mount, MLCC (assembly process compatibility)
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: 1 (Unlimited) (handling and storage requirements)

All identified substitute parts meet these criteria without exception. Substitutes are sourced from active product lines, ensuring long-term availability and compliance with current regulatory standards.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both substitute parts are functionally equivalent to the ECJ-2VF1H683Z across all critical electrical and mechanical parameters. Selection between C0805C683Z5VAC7800 (KEMET) and CC0805ZRY5V9BB683 (YAGEO) should be based on the following factors:

Regulatory Compliance: Both substitute parts are ROHS3 compliant, whereas the original Panasonic part is RoHS non-compliant. For applications subject to RoHS directives, either substitute is acceptable. The KEMET part carries REACH Unaffected status; the YAGEO part also carries REACH Unaffected status.

Product Status: Both substitutes are classified as Active, ensuring continued availability and supply chain stability compared to the obsolete original part.

Packaging: KEMET supplies C0805C683Z5VAC7800 in Tape & Reel (TR) format; YAGEO supplies CC0805ZRY5V9BB683 in Tape & Reel (TR) format. Both are suitable for automated assembly processes.

Physical Thickness: The original part specifies 0.028" (0.70mm) maximum thickness. KEMET substitute specifies 0.039" (1.00mm); YAGEO substitute specifies 0.037" (0.95mm). Both exceed the original specification but remain within standard 0805 package tolerances and do not affect PCB layout compatibility.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can C0805C683Z5VAC7800 or CC0805ZRY5V9BB683 be used as direct replacements for ECJ-2VF1H683Z?

A: Yes. Both parts are electrically and mechanically equivalent across all critical parameters: capacitance (0.068 µF), tolerance (-20%, +80%), voltage rating (50V), temperature coefficient (Y5V), operating temperature range (-30°C ~ 85°C), and package (0805). They are suitable for direct PCB substitution without circuit redesign.

Q: What is the significance of the Y5V temperature coefficient?

A: Y5V designates a ceramic capacitor with a temperature coefficient that allows capacitance variation of -82% to +22% across the full operating temperature range (-30°C to 85°C). This specification is standardized and identical across all three parts, ensuring consistent circuit behavior across temperature extremes.

Q: Are there differences in physical dimensions that affect PCB layout?

A: All three parts share identical length (0.079" / 2.00mm) and width (0.049" / 1.25mm). Thickness varies slightly: original Panasonic 0.028" (0.70mm), KEMET 0.039" (1.00mm), YAGEO 0.037" (0.95mm). These variations fall within standard 0805 package tolerances and do not require PCB layout modification.

Q: Why is the original ECJ-2VF1H683Z classified as obsolete?

A: Panasonic has discontinued this part number. Substitute parts from active product lines (KEMET and YAGEO) provide equivalent functionality with improved regulatory compliance (ROHS3) and assured long-term supply availability.

Q: What is Moisture Sensitivity Level 1?

A: MSL 1 (Unlimited) indicates the component has unlimited shelf life and requires no special moisture control during storage or handling. All three parts carry this designation, simplifying inventory management and logistics.

Q: Are both substitute parts available in the same packaging format?

A: Yes. Both C0805C683Z5VAC7800 (KEMET) and CC0805ZRY5V9BB683 (YAGEO) are supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) format, compatible with standard automated pick-and-place assembly equipment.
