GE102K Equivalent & Substitute Parts Reference

Part Overview

The GE102K is a 1000 pF ceramic capacitor rated at 50V with Y5P temperature coefficient, manufactured by Cornell Dubilier Electronics (CDE) in radial disc configuration. This component is classified as obsolete, making equivalent substitutes necessary for ongoing production and maintenance applications. The GE102K serves general-purpose applications requiring through-hole radial ceramic capacitors with ±10% tolerance and operating temperature range of -30°C to 85°C.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the GE102K is determined by the following critical parameters: capacitance value (1000 pF), tolerance (±10%), temperature coefficient (Y5P), mounting type (through-hole radial), and physical dimensions (0.197" diameter, 2.50mm lead spacing). Voltage rating may be equal or higher than the original 50V specification. Lead style and operating temperature range extensions do not preclude substitution when other parameters align.

The substitute parts are grouped into two categories:

Upgrade Substitutes (Higher Voltage Rating): Parts with 100V rating provide enhanced voltage margin while maintaining identical capacitance, tolerance, and temperature coefficient. These are direct functional upgrades.

Similar Substitutes (Equivalent Voltage Rating): Parts with 50V rating match the original voltage specification. Variations in lead spacing, lead style, and packaging format are noted but do not affect electrical compatibility within the specified parameter set.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

For Direct Replacement (Identical Specifications): D102K20Y5PF63L2R is the primary equivalent substitute. This part maintains the original 50V voltage rating, 2.50mm lead spacing, and straight lead style. The part is manufactured by Vishay Beyschlag/Draloric/BC Components and carries active product status with ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected certification. Inventory availability is 683 pieces.

For Voltage-Upgraded Applications: D102K20Y5PH63L2R and D102K20Y5PH65L2R provide 100V rating while preserving all other electrical parameters. Both parts maintain 2.50mm lead spacing and straight leads. D102K20Y5PH63L2R has significantly higher inventory (24,678 pieces) compared to D102K20Y5PH65L2R (1,071 pieces). Both are active products with full compliance certifications.

For Alternative Lead Configurations: D102K20Y5PF63J5R and D102K20Y5PF6TL5R feature 5.00mm lead spacing. D102K20Y5PF63J5R uses formed kinked leads, while D102K20Y5PF6TL5R uses straight leads and is supplied in tape and reel packaging. These configurations are suitable for applications where lead spacing accommodation differs from the original design.

All substitute parts are ROHS3 compliant, REACH unaffected, and classified under ECCN EAR99 and HTSUS 8532.23.0060, matching the regulatory status of the original GE102K.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can D102K20Y5PH63L2R (100V) replace GE102K (50V) in all applications?

A: Yes. The 100V-rated substitute provides higher voltage margin while maintaining identical capacitance (1000 pF), tolerance (±10%), and temperature coefficient (Y5P). The higher voltage rating does not degrade performance in 50V-rated circuits.

Q: What is the difference between D102K20Y5PF63L2R and D102K20Y5PH63L2R?

A: The primary difference is voltage rating. D102K20Y5PF63L2R is rated 50V (equivalent to GE102K), while D102K20Y5PH63L2R is rated 100V. Both share identical lead spacing (2.50mm), lead style (straight), and capacitance specifications.

Q: Are D102K20Y5PF63J5R and D102K20Y5PF6TL5R compatible with GE102K in PCB layouts?

A: These parts have 5.00mm lead spacing compared to the original 2.50mm spacing. PCB layout compatibility depends on hole pattern design. If the original design accommodates 5.00mm spacing, these parts are electrically compatible. If not, layout modification is required.

Q: What does the packaging difference (Bulk vs. Tape & Reel) mean for component selection?

A: Bulk packaging (D102K20Y5PF63L2R, D102K20Y5PH63L2R, D102K20Y5PH65L2R, D102K20Y5PF63J5R) is suitable for manual assembly and small-volume production. Tape & Reel packaging (D102K20Y5PF6TL5R) is optimized for automated pick-and-place assembly systems. Selection depends on manufacturing process requirements.

Q: Do all substitute parts meet the same compliance standards as GE102K?

A: Yes. All listed substitute parts are ROHS3 compliant, REACH unaffected, and classified under identical ECCN (EAR99) and HTSUS (8532.23.0060) codes as the original GE102K.

Q: Why does GE102K show operating temperature -30°C ~ 85°C while substitutes show -30°C ~ 125°C?

A: The substitute parts from Vishay Beyschlag/Draloric/BC Components have extended upper temperature limits. This does not affect compatibility in applications operating within the original -30°C ~ 85°C range. The extended range provides additional design margin for future applications.
