Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution for the GAA14001 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Primary Equivalence Criteria:

• Capacitance range: 1–14pF
• Voltage rating: 250V
• Adjustment type: Top
• Dielectric material: Air
• Physical dimensions: 0.303" diameter, 0.500" maximum height
• Operating temperature range: –65°C to +125°C
• Q factor: 5000 @ 100MHz

Substitute Classification:

Parametric Equivalents (Full Specification Match): GAA14002, GAA14006, GAA14007 are direct parametric equivalents manufactured by Sprague-Goodman within the AIRTRIM® GAA series. All parameters match the GAA14001 specification exactly. These parts differ only in packaging configuration (Bulk vs. standard packaging for GAA14001).

Direct Manufacturer Equivalent (Partial Data): Part number 5402 manufactured by Knowles Johanson Manufacturing is listed as a direct manufacturer equivalent. However, detailed electrical and mechanical specifications are not provided in the available data. This part is classified as Active product status, unlike the obsolete GAA14001.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

For Direct Replacement (Same Series):

GAA14002, GAA14006, and GAA14007 are fully qualified substitutes for GAA14001. All three parts maintain identical electrical specifications, physical dimensions, and environmental ratings. Selection among these three parts may be based on packaging availability and inventory status. All three are RoHS compliant and carry MSL 1 rating, suitable for unlimited shelf life storage.

For Cross-Manufacturer Substitution:

Part 5402 from Knowles Johanson Manufacturing is designated as a direct manufacturer equivalent. However, complete specification data is not available in the provided documentation. This part carries Active product status, indicating ongoing manufacturing support. Use of 5402 requires verification of capacitance range, voltage rating, adjustment type, and physical dimensions against application requirements prior to implementation.

Compliance Considerations:

All Sprague-Goodman AIRTRIM® GAA series substitutes (GAA14002, GAA14006, GAA14007) maintain RoHS compliance status consistent with GAA14001. MSL 1 rating applies uniformly across all parts, eliminating moisture sensitivity concerns for storage and handling.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can GAA14002, GAA14006, and GAA14007 be used interchangeably with GAA14001?

A: Yes. These three parts are parametric equivalents with identical capacitance range (1–14pF), voltage rating (250V), adjustment type (Top), dielectric material (Air), physical dimensions (0.303" diameter, 0.500" height), operating temperature range (–65°C to +125°C), and Q factor (5000 @ 100MHz). The only difference is packaging configuration. All are suitable for direct substitution in applications designed for GAA14001.

Q: What is the difference between GAA14001 and GAA14002 packaging?

A: GAA14001 is specified with user-defined packaging, while GAA14002 is supplied in Bulk packaging. Both parts are electrically and mechanically identical. Packaging selection depends on assembly process requirements and inventory management practices.

Q: Is part 5402 a suitable replacement for GAA14001?

A: Part 5402 is listed as a direct manufacturer equivalent. However, detailed electrical and mechanical specifications for 5402 are not provided in available documentation. Confirmation of capacitance range, voltage rating, adjustment type, physical dimensions, and operating temperature range is required before implementation. The part carries Active product status, indicating current manufacturing availability.

Q: Are all substitute parts RoHS compliant?

A: All Sprague-Goodman AIRTRIM® GAA series substitutes (GAA14002, GAA14006, GAA14007) are RoHS compliant, matching the compliance status of GAA14001. RoHS compliance status for part 5402 is not specified in available data.

Q: What is the MSL rating for these trimmer capacitors?

A: All listed parts carry MSL 1 (Unlimited) rating, indicating no moisture sensitivity restrictions. These parts may be stored indefinitely without desiccant packaging or time-limited shelf life constraints.

Q: Can these parts be used in high-frequency applications?

A: Yes. All parts maintain a Q factor of 5000 @ 100MHz, indicating suitability for RF and high-frequency circuit applications requiring low loss and stable tuning characteristics.

Q: What is the operating temperature range for these trimmer capacitors?

A: All Sprague-Goodman AIRTRIM® GAA series parts operate across –65°C to +125°C, supporting applications in industrial, automotive, and aerospace environments with extended temperature requirements.
