Equivalent & Substitute Parts for GP222 Ceramic Capacitor

Part Overview

The GP222 is a 2200 pF ceramic capacitor rated at 1000V (1kV) with Y5P temperature coefficient, manufactured by Cornell Dubilier Electronics (CDE). This radial, disc-type capacitor is designed for general-purpose applications requiring high voltage tolerance and ±10% capacitance accuracy. The GP222 is classified as obsolete, making equivalent substitute parts necessary for ongoing procurement and system maintenance. Substitute parts must maintain identical electrical specifications (capacitance, voltage rating, tolerance) and compatible mechanical form factors (radial through-hole mounting, lead spacing, disc package).

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution for the GP222 is based on strict electrical and mechanical parameter matching. All substitute parts must satisfy the following criteria:

Electrical Requirements:

• Capacitance: 2200 pF (exact match)
• Voltage Rating: 1000V (1kV) minimum
• Tolerance: ±10% (exact match)
• Temperature Coefficient: Functionally equivalent ceramic dielectric types (Y5P, N2800, or X7R acceptable for general-purpose applications)

Mechanical Requirements:

• Mounting: Through-hole radial configuration
• Lead Spacing: 0.252" (6.40mm) for PCB footprint compatibility
• Package: Radial disc ceramic capacitor
• Lead Style: Straight leads

Compliance Requirements:

• RoHS3 Compliant
• ECCN: EAR99
• Active or obsolete product status acceptable if electrical/mechanical specifications match

The two identified substitute parts (561R1DF0D22 and 562R5TSD22) both meet these criteria with different temperature coefficient characteristics, allowing selection based on application thermal requirements.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

For Direct Replacement (Preferred):

The 562R5TSD22 (Vishay Cera-Mite) is the primary substitute for the GP222. This part maintains the closest physical dimensions (0.370" diameter vs. 0.374" original, 0.488" height vs. 0.532" original), ensuring optimal PCB layout compatibility. The X7R temperature coefficient provides superior temperature stability across the -55°C to 105°C operating range compared to the original Y5P specification. Both parts are ROHS3 compliant, carry EAR99 classification, and maintain identical electrical parameters (2200 pF, ±10%, 1000V). The 562R5TSD22 is currently in active production status with 879 units in stock.

For Extended Temperature Applications:

The 561R1DF0D22 (Vishay Cera-Mite) serves as an alternative when extended temperature performance is required. The N2800 temperature coefficient supports operation from -55°C to 105°C with low dissipation factor characteristics. Physical dimensions are slightly larger (0.461" diameter), requiring verification of PCB clearance. This part is also ROHS3 compliant and in active production with 1158 units available. The REACH Affected status requires compliance verification in regulated markets.

Compliance Considerations:

Both substitute parts maintain ROHS3 compliance and EAR99 export classification. The 561R1DF0D22 carries REACH Affected status, requiring supply chain documentation in European Union applications. The 562R5TSD22 maintains REACH Unaffected status, matching the original GP222 regulatory profile.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 562R5TSD22 be used as a direct drop-in replacement for the GP222?

A: Yes. The 562R5TSD22 maintains identical electrical specifications (2200 pF, ±10%, 1000V) and compatible mechanical form factor (radial through-hole, 0.252" lead spacing). Physical dimensions are within acceptable tolerance for standard PCB layouts. Verification of specific PCB clearance requirements is recommended for space-constrained designs.

Q: What is the difference between the Y5P, N2800, and X7R temperature coefficients?

A: Temperature coefficient designates the ceramic dielectric material and its capacitance stability across temperature ranges. Y5P (original) operates -30°C to 85°C with moderate stability. N2800 and X7R both extend to -55°C to 105°C with improved stability characteristics. X7R (562R5TSD22) provides superior temperature stability for general-purpose applications. N2800 (561R1DF0D22) emphasizes low dissipation factor performance.

Q: Are there physical size differences between the GP222 and substitute parts?

A: Yes. The 562R5TSD22 has a slightly smaller diameter (0.370" vs. 0.374") and lower seated height (0.488" vs. 0.532"), providing better PCB clearance. The 561R1DF0D22 has a larger diameter (0.461"), requiring PCB layout verification. All three parts maintain identical 0.252" lead spacing for footprint compatibility.

Q: Do the substitute parts meet the same regulatory requirements as the GP222?

A: Both substitute parts are ROHS3 compliant and carry EAR99 classification, matching the original part. The 562R5TSD22 maintains REACH Unaffected status identical to the GP222. The 561R1DF0D22 carries REACH Affected status, requiring additional compliance documentation for EU applications.

Q: What is the current availability of substitute parts?

A: The 562R5TSD22 has 879 units in stock. The 561R1DF0D22 has 1158 units in stock. Both are active production parts from Vishay Cera-Mite, ensuring long-term availability compared to the obsolete GP222.

Q: Can either substitute part handle higher voltage applications?

A: No. Both substitute parts are rated at 1000V (1kV) maximum, identical to the GP222. For applications requiring higher voltage ratings, alternative part numbers outside this substitution group must be evaluated.

Q: Is the lead spacing identical across all three parts?

A: Yes. All three parts (GP222, 561R1DF0D22, 562R5TSD22) maintain 0.252" (6.40mm) lead spacing, ensuring PCB footprint compatibility without layout modifications.
