GAA14009 Equivalent & Substitute Parts Reference

Part Overview

The GAA14009 is a 1–14 pF trimmer capacitor rated for 250 V operation, manufactured by Sprague-Goodman as part of the AIRTRIM® GAA series. This component features top adjustment, air dielectric construction, and is designed for general-purpose applications requiring precision capacitance tuning. The part is classified as obsolete, making identification of equivalent and substitute components essential for design continuity and procurement planning.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the GAA14009 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Primary Equivalence Criteria:

• Capacitance Range: 1–14 pF
• Voltage Rating: 250 V
• Dielectric Material: Air
• Adjustment Type: Top
• Q @ Frequency: 5000 @ 100 MHz
• Physical Dimensions: 0.303" Dia (7.62 mm), Height 0.500" (12.70 mm) maximum
• Operating Temperature Range: –65°C to 125°C
• RoHS Compliance: Yes

Parametric Equivalent Parts (GAA14002, GAA14006, GAA14007) meet all primary equivalence criteria and are direct functional replacements within the AIRTRIM® GAA series. These parts differ only in packaging configuration (Bulk) and inventory status.

Similar Part (5485, manufactured by Knowles Johanson Manufacturing) is classified as a similar component but lacks documented specification alignment across critical parameters including capacitance range, voltage rating, dielectric material, adjustment type, and dimensional data. This part is listed as active status but cannot be confirmed as a direct substitute without complete parametric documentation.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Parametric Equivalent Selection (GAA14002, GAA14006, GAA14007):

Parts GAA14002, GAA14006, and GAA14007 are direct parametric equivalents to GAA14009. All four components share identical electrical specifications (1–14 pF capacitance, 250 V rating, 5000 Q @ 100 MHz), mechanical dimensions (0.303" diameter, 0.500" maximum height), and environmental operating range (–65°C to 125°C). All are RoHS compliant with MSL 1 classification. The only documented difference is packaging configuration (Bulk for the substitute parts versus user-defined for GAA14009). These parts are suitable for direct substitution in applications where the GAA14009 is specified.

Similar Part Consideration (5485):

Part 5485 from Knowles Johanson Manufacturing is listed as a similar component but lacks complete parametric documentation. Critical specifications including capacitance range, voltage rating, dielectric material, adjustment type, dimensional data, and operating temperature range are not provided. This part is classified as active status, which differs from the obsolete status of GAA14009 and the equivalent parts. Without full parametric alignment confirmation, 5485 cannot be designated as a direct substitute.

Compliance and Regulatory Status:

All parametric equivalent parts (GAA14002, GAA14006, GAA14007) maintain RoHS compliance and MSL 1 classification, ensuring compatibility with modern manufacturing and environmental standards. The obsolete status of these parts reflects market discontinuation rather than technical inadequacy.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can GAA14002, GAA14006, or GAA14007 be used as direct replacements for GAA14009?

A: Yes. These three parts are parametric equivalents with identical electrical and mechanical specifications. All share the same capacitance range (1–14 pF), voltage rating (250 V), dielectric material (air), adjustment type (top), Q factor (5000 @ 100 MHz), physical dimensions, operating temperature range, and RoHS compliance status. The only difference is packaging configuration.

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

A: All three parts are parametrically identical. They differ only in packaging designation (all listed as Bulk) and inventory availability. Selection among these three should be based on procurement availability and lead time requirements.

Q: Is part 5485 a suitable substitute for GAA14009?

A: Part 5485 cannot be confirmed as a direct substitute. While classified as a similar component, it lacks documented specifications for capacitance range, voltage rating, dielectric material, adjustment type, dimensions, and operating temperature. Complete parametric documentation would be required to establish substitution eligibility.

Q: Why is GAA14009 classified as obsolete?

A: Obsolete status indicates the part has been discontinued by the manufacturer. However, equivalent parts within the AIRTRIM® GAA series (GAA14002, GAA14006, GAA14007) remain available and provide identical functionality.

Q: Are there any packaging considerations when substituting these parts?

A: GAA14009 is specified with user-defined mounting, while GAA14002, GAA14006, and GAA14007 are supplied in Bulk packaging. Verify that bulk packaging is compatible with your assembly process and handling requirements.

Q: Do all equivalent parts maintain RoHS compliance?

A: Yes. GAA14009, GAA14002, GAA14006, and GAA14007 are all RoHS compliant with MSL 1 (unlimited moisture sensitivity level), suitable for applications requiring environmental and regulatory compliance.
