HT06BN153KN Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The HT06BN153KN is a 0.015 µF ceramic capacitor manufactured by KEMET, rated for 50V operation with C0G/NP0 temperature coefficient and high-temperature capability (-55°C to 200°C). This component is classified as obsolete, necessitating identification of active equivalent parts for ongoing procurement and design continuity. The radial through-hole configuration and industrial-grade specifications position this capacitor for general-purpose applications requiring stable capacitance across extended temperature ranges.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the obsolete HT06BN153KN is based on the following electrical and mechanical parameters:

Primary Matching Criteria:

• Capacitance value: 0.015 µF (exact match required)
• Temperature coefficient: C0G/NP0 (exact match required)
• Mounting type: Through-hole radial (exact match required)
• Lead spacing: 0.200" (5.08mm) (exact match required)

Acceptable Variation Parameters:

• Voltage rating: Substitute must equal or exceed 50V
• Tolerance: Substitute may be equal to or tighter than ±10%
• Operating temperature range: Substitute must support application requirements
• Physical dimensions: Minor variations acceptable if lead spacing and mounting type remain constant

The substitute part C330C153J1G5TA meets all primary matching criteria while offering enhanced specifications in voltage rating (100V) and tolerance (±5%), making it a direct functional replacement for the obsolete HT06BN153KN.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Recommendation: C330C153J1G5TA

The C330C153J1G5TA is the direct functional equivalent for the obsolete HT06BN153KN. Selection rationale:

• Electrical Equivalence: Identical capacitance (0.015 µF) and temperature coefficient (C0G/NP0) ensure circuit performance parity
• Enhanced Specifications: Higher voltage rating (100V vs. 50V) and tighter tolerance (±5% vs. ±10%) provide improved design margin
• Active Product Status: Currently manufactured by KEMET with confirmed inventory availability (965 pcs), ensuring procurement continuity
• Compliance: ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, meeting current regulatory requirements
• Physical Compatibility: Identical lead spacing (0.200") and through-hole radial configuration support direct PCB substitution

Temperature Range Consideration:

The substitute part operates to 125°C maximum, compared to the original part's 200°C maximum. Applications requiring sustained operation above 125°C require evaluation of alternative parts or thermal management modifications.

Lead Style Difference:

The substitute features formed leads versus straight leads on the original. This difference affects insertion into PCB holes and may require minor assembly process adjustment but does not impact electrical function.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can C330C153J1G5TA be used as a direct replacement for HT06BN153KN in existing designs?

A: Yes, for applications operating at or below 125°C. The substitute maintains identical capacitance, tolerance coefficient, and lead spacing. Verify that your application does not require sustained operation above 125°C, as the original part rated to 200°C.

Q: What is the difference between straight leads and formed leads?

A: Straight leads are pre-cut to length and inserted vertically into PCB holes. Formed leads are pre-bent for insertion and may require different handling during assembly. Both configurations result in identical electrical performance and final PCB mounting.

Q: Does the higher voltage rating (100V vs. 50V) affect circuit operation?

A: No. A capacitor with higher voltage rating operates identically at lower voltages. The 100V rating provides additional safety margin and is acceptable for any circuit designed for 50V operation.

Q: Is the ±5% tolerance of the substitute better than the ±10% tolerance of the original?

A: Yes. Tighter tolerance means the capacitance value remains closer to the nominal 0.015 µF specification. This is beneficial for precision circuits but does not prevent substitution in applications designed for ±10% tolerance.

Q: Are there other KEMET substitutes available for this part?

A: The provided data identifies C330C153J1G5TA as the primary substitute. Additional alternatives may exist within KEMET's product line; consult the manufacturer's current catalog for extended options.

Q: What is the lead spacing requirement, and why does it matter?

A: Lead spacing of 0.200" (5.08mm) is the distance between the two radial leads. This dimension must match the PCB footprint hole pattern. The substitute maintains this specification, ensuring mechanical compatibility.

Q: Can this capacitor be used in high-temperature applications above 125°C?

A: The substitute part is rated to 125°C maximum. For applications requiring 200°C operation, alternative parts with extended temperature ratings must be sourced. Consult KEMET's high-temperature ceramic capacitor portfolio.
