Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the HT06BW103KN is determined by the following critical parameters:

Mandatory Matching Parameters:

• Capacitance: 10000 pF (exact match required)
• Tolerance: ±10% (exact match required)
• Temperature Coefficient: X7R (exact match required)
• Mounting Type: Through Hole (exact match required)
• Package / Case: Radial (exact match required)
• Lead Style: Straight (exact match required)

Allowable Variation Parameters:

• Voltage - Rated: Equal to or greater than 50V
• Operating Temperature Range: Must encompass or equal -55°C ~ 200°C
• Physical dimensions: May vary within component class constraints
• Product Status: Active status preferred for long-term availability

The substitute part 05HV10B103KN meets all mandatory matching parameters and exceeds the voltage rating requirement (500V vs. 50V), making it a valid electrical substitute. The higher voltage rating provides additional design margin without compromising the specified electrical characteristics.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The 05HV10B103KN is the qualified substitute for the obsolete HT06BW103KN based on the following engineering criteria:

Electrical Equivalence: Both parts share identical capacitance (10000 pF), tolerance (±10%), temperature coefficient (X7R), and operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 200°C). The substitute's 500V rating exceeds the original 50V specification, providing enhanced voltage margin without altering circuit performance.

Mechanical Compatibility: Both components feature radial through-hole mounting with straight leads, enabling direct PCB footprint compatibility. The substitute exhibits smaller physical dimensions (0.200" x 0.100" vs. 0.300" x 0.150"), which may provide layout advantages in space-constrained applications.

Product Status and Compliance: The substitute part is active in production, ensuring long-term availability and supply chain stability. The 05HV10B103KN carries ROHS3 compliance and REACH affected status, meeting current environmental and regulatory requirements.

Series Continuity: Both parts belong to KEMET's industrial-grade ceramic capacitor families designed for high-temperature operation, maintaining design consistency and performance reliability.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 05HV10B103KN directly replace the HT06BW103KN in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both parts are electrically identical in capacitance, tolerance, temperature coefficient, and operating temperature range. The substitute's higher voltage rating (500V vs. 50V) is compatible with circuits designed for 50V operation. Physical dimensions differ, but both maintain radial through-hole mounting with straight leads suitable for standard PCB layouts.

Q: What is the significance of the voltage rating difference?

A: The 05HV10B103KN's 500V rating provides additional design margin compared to the original 50V specification. This higher rating does not alter the capacitor's electrical behavior at 50V operation and may reduce stress in applications with voltage transients or margin requirements.

Q: Are there any PCB layout considerations when substituting these parts?

A: The substitute part is physically smaller (0.200" x 0.100" vs. 0.300" x 0.150") with reduced lead spacing (0.170" vs. 0.200"). Existing PCB layouts designed for the HT06BW103KN will accommodate the smaller substitute without modification. The reduced footprint may allow component repositioning if layout optimization is desired.

Q: What compliance certifications apply to the substitute part?

A: The 05HV10B103KN is ROHS3 compliant and REACH affected, meeting current environmental regulations. The original HT06BW103KN compliance status was not specified in available documentation.

Q: Is the substitute part available in the same packaging format?

A: The substitute is supplied in bulk packaging, whereas the original part packaging format was not specified. Both parts are radial through-hole components suitable for standard manufacturing processes.
