HT13BB104KN Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The HT13BB104KN is a 0.1 µF ceramic capacitor manufactured by KEMET, rated for 50V operation with X7R temperature coefficient characteristics. This component is designed for high-temperature applications with an operating range of -55°C to 200°C. The part is classified as obsolete, making identification of suitable substitute components essential for ongoing design support and procurement planning. The axial through-hole mounting configuration and industrial-grade specifications position this capacitor for general-purpose applications requiring stable capacitance across temperature variations.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the HT13BB104KN is determined by the following critical parameters:

Mandatory Matching Parameters:

• Capacitance value: 0.1 µF (exact match required)
• Tolerance: ±10% (exact match required)
• Temperature Coefficient: X7R (exact match required)
• Operating Temperature Range: -55°C to 200°C (exact match required)
• Mounting Type: Through Hole (exact match required)
• Package Type: Axial (exact match required)
• Lead Style: Straight (exact match required)

Allowable Variation Parameters:

• Voltage Rating: May be equal to or greater than 50V
• Physical dimensions: May vary within industry-standard axial package tolerances
• Product Status: Active status preferred for ongoing availability
• Packaging format: May differ (Bulk vs. other formats)

The substitute part ARA39D104KGS meets all mandatory matching criteria while providing an elevated voltage rating of 100V, which is compatible with 50V circuit requirements through derating principles.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The ARA39D104KGS is the qualified substitute for the obsolete HT13BB104KN based on the following engineering criteria:

Electrical Compatibility: The substitute maintains identical capacitance (0.1 µF), tolerance (±10%), and temperature coefficient (X7R) specifications. The elevated voltage rating of 100V provides enhanced safety margin in 50V applications and is electrically compatible through standard derating practices.

Thermal Performance: Both components operate across the identical temperature range of -55°C to 200°C with X7R characteristics, ensuring equivalent capacitance stability across the full operating envelope.

Product Status and Availability: The ARA39D104KGS holds Active product status with 1030 pieces in stock inventory, providing reliable procurement continuity compared to the obsolete HT13BB104KN.

Compliance and Certifications: The substitute part carries ROHS3 compliance and REACH Affected status, meeting current regulatory requirements for industrial and commercial applications.

Physical Considerations: The substitute exhibits larger physical dimensions (0.150" Square x 0.400" L versus 0.135" Dia x 0.260" L). PCB layout verification is required to confirm adequate board space for the larger axial package footprint.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the ARA39D104KGS directly replace the HT13BB104KN in existing designs?

A: Electrical substitution is valid. The ARA39D104KGS matches all critical electrical parameters (capacitance, tolerance, temperature coefficient, operating range). Physical board layout must be verified due to increased component dimensions (0.150" Square x 0.400" L versus 0.135" Dia x 0.260" L).

Q: Why is the substitute part rated for 100V when the original is 50V?

A: Higher voltage ratings are acceptable substitutes in lower-voltage applications. The 100V rating provides additional safety margin and does not affect circuit performance in 50V designs. This is standard engineering practice for component substitution.

Q: Are there any compliance differences between the two parts?

A: The ARA39D104KGS provides explicit ROHS3 compliance and REACH Affected status documentation. Both parts share identical ECCN (EAR99) and HTSUS (8532.24.0060) classifications.

Q: What is the impact of the larger physical size?

A: The substitute is larger in both diameter and length. PCB layout review is mandatory to confirm clearance around the component location, lead routing, and adjacent component spacing.

Q: Is the ARA39D104KGS available in the same packaging format?

A: The substitute is supplied in Bulk packaging, whereas the original HT13BB104KN packaging format is not specified. Confirm packaging requirements with procurement for your specific application needs.

Q: Do both parts have identical moisture sensitivity?

A: Both components are classified as Not Applicable for Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL), indicating no special moisture handling requirements during storage or assembly.
