ECK-ATS222ME Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The ECK-ATS222ME is a 2200 pF ceramic capacitor rated for 440VAC with Y5U temperature coefficient, manufactured by Panasonic Electronic Components. This component is classified as obsolete, making equivalent substitutes necessary for ongoing production and maintenance applications. The part is designed for safety-critical applications with X1, Y2 ratings and operates across a temperature range of -25°C to 125°C in radial, disc configuration.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution for the ECK-ATS222ME is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Direct Equivalents (Upgrade Category): Parts maintaining identical capacitance (2200 pF), tolerance (±20%), voltage rating (440VAC), temperature coefficient (Y5U), and safety ratings (X1, Y2) with active product status qualify as direct upgrades. These parts are:

• VY2222M35Y5US63V7 (Vishay, Bulk packaging)
• VY2222M35Y5US6TV7 (Vishay, Cut Tape packaging)

Similar Equivalents (Functional Category): Parts matching capacitance, tolerance, temperature coefficient, and safety ratings but with reduced voltage rating (400VAC instead of 440VAC) are classified as similar equivalents suitable for applications not requiring the full 440VAC specification:

• C927U222MYWDBA7317 (KEMET, Cut Tape packaging)

All substitute parts maintain identical lead spacing (0.295"), radial disc configuration, and through-hole mounting compatibility with the original design.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

For 440VAC Applications: Select either VY2222M35Y5US63V7 or VY2222M35Y5US6TV7 (Vishay parts). Both maintain full voltage equivalence with the original ECK-ATS222ME. The choice between these two depends on packaging requirements: Bulk packaging for VY2222M35Y5US63V7 or Cut Tape for VY2222M35Y5US6TV7. Both parts are active products with ROHS3 compliance and extended operating temperature range (-40°C to 125°C).

For 400VAC Applications: C927U222MYWDBA7317 (KEMET) is suitable when the application circuit operates at or below 400VAC. This part maintains all other critical parameters including capacitance, tolerance, temperature coefficient, and safety ratings. ROHS3 compliance and active product status confirm long-term availability.

All substitute parts provide improved or equivalent temperature operating ranges compared to the obsolete original part, supporting broader environmental deployment scenarios.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can VY2222M35Y5US63V7 and VY2222M35Y5US6TV7 be used interchangeably? A: Yes. Both parts are electrically and mechanically identical. The difference is packaging format: Bulk versus Cut Tape. Selection depends on assembly process requirements and inventory management practices.

Q: Is C927U222MYWDBA7317 a direct replacement for ECK-ATS222ME? A: C927U222MYWDBA7317 is functionally equivalent for applications operating at 400VAC or below. The 40VAC voltage rating reduction must be verified against circuit requirements before substitution. All other electrical parameters remain equivalent.

Q: Do the Vishay substitutes fit the same PCB footprint? A: Yes. Both VY2222M35Y5US63V7 and VY2222M35Y5US6TV7 maintain identical lead spacing (0.295" / 7.50mm), radial disc configuration, and through-hole mounting compatibility with the original ECK-ATS222ME design.

Q: What is the difference between Y5U temperature coefficient and operating temperature range? A: Temperature coefficient Y5U specifies capacitance variation characteristics across temperature (-30% to +80% change from -25°C to +85°C). Operating temperature range defines the absolute limits for safe component operation. Substitute parts extend the lower operating limit to -40°C, providing enhanced cold-temperature performance.

Q: Are all substitute parts RoHS compliant? A: Yes. VY2222M35Y5US63V7, VY2222M35Y5US6TV7, and C927U222MYWDBA7317 are all ROHS3 compliant, meeting current environmental and regulatory requirements for electronic component manufacturing and deployment.
