GAA14006 Trimmer Capacitor Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The GAA14006 is a 1–14 pF air dielectric trimmer capacitor rated for 250 V operation, manufactured by Sprague-Goodman as part of the AIRTRIM® GAA series. This component is classified as obsolete, making identification of equivalent and substitute parts essential for design continuity and procurement planning. The GAA14006 features top-adjustment tuning, general-purpose application capability, and RoHS compliance. Locating functionally equivalent alternatives ensures uninterrupted supply chain access for legacy circuit designs and maintenance applications.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the GAA14006 are classified into two categories based on the completeness of parametric alignment:

Parametric Equivalents: Parts that match all critical electrical and mechanical parameters of the GAA14006, enabling direct functional replacement without circuit redesign. These parts satisfy identical specifications across capacitance range, voltage rating, dielectric material, adjustment type, physical dimensions, temperature range, and performance characteristics.

Similar Parts: Components that share the same functional category (trimmer capacitor) and general application domain but lack complete parametric documentation. These parts may serve as alternatives in applications where full parameter matching is not available or where design flexibility permits parameter variation.

The following parameters determine substitution eligibility:

• Capacitance Range: 1–14 pF
• Voltage – Rated: 250 V
• Dielectric Material: Air
• Adjustment Type: Top
• Size / Dimension: 0.303" Dia (7.62 mm)
• Height – Seated (Max): 0.500" (12.70 mm)
• Operating Temperature Range: –65°C to 125°C
• Q @ Frequency: 5000 @ 100 MHz

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Parametric Equivalents (GAA14002, GAA14007): These parts are direct functional replacements for the GAA14006. All electrical parameters, mechanical dimensions, temperature operating range, and performance characteristics are identical. Both GAA14002 and GAA14007 carry obsolete product status consistent with the GAA14006, and both maintain RoHS compliance and MSL 1 rating. Selection between GAA14002 and GAA14007 may be based on inventory availability or procurement lead time, as no parametric differentiation exists.

Similar Part (8093): The 8093 manufactured by Knowles Johanson Manufacturing is classified as a trimmer capacitor with active product status. Complete parametric documentation is not provided for this component. The 8093 shares the same HTSUS commodity code (8532.30.0090) and ECCN classification (EAR99) as the GAA14006, indicating functional category alignment. Use of the 8093 as a substitute requires engineering evaluation against specific circuit requirements, as parametric confirmation cannot be established from available data.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can GAA14002 or GAA14007 be used as direct replacements for GAA14006 in existing designs?

A: Yes. GAA14002 and GAA14007 are parametric equivalents with identical capacitance range (1–14 pF), voltage rating (250 V), dielectric material (air), adjustment type (top), physical dimensions (0.303" diameter, 0.500" maximum height), operating temperature range (–65°C to 125°C), and Q factor (5000 @ 100 MHz). No circuit redesign or board layout modification is required.

Q: What is the difference between GAA14002, GAA14007, and GAA14006?

A: From the provided parametric data, no electrical or mechanical differences exist between these three parts. All three are AIRTRIM® GAA series components with identical specifications. Differences, if any, are not documented in available technical parameters and would require manufacturer consultation.

Q: Is the 8093 a suitable substitute for GAA14006?

A: The 8093 is a trimmer capacitor manufactured by Knowles Johanson Manufacturing with active product status. Complete parametric documentation for the 8093 is not available. Substitution feasibility cannot be confirmed without detailed specification comparison. Engineering evaluation is required before design implementation.

Q: Are all substitute parts RoHS compliant?

A: GAA14002 and GAA14007 are confirmed RoHS compliant. RoHS compliance status for the 8093 is not documented in available data.

Q: What is the inventory status of these parts?

A: GAA14006: 752 pcs in stock; GAA14002: 1183 pcs in stock; GAA14007: 1045 pcs in stock; 8093: 1151 pcs in stock. All parts are listed as new original stock.

Q: Can these parts be used interchangeably in PCB assembly?

A: GAA14002 and GAA14007 share identical physical dimensions with GAA14006 (0.303" diameter, 0.500" maximum seated height), enabling direct PCB footprint compatibility. The 8093 physical dimensions are not specified; footprint compatibility cannot be confirmed without dimensional data.
