HT13BN561JC Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The HT13BN561JC is a 560 pF ceramic capacitor manufactured by KEMET, rated for 50V operation with C0G/NP0 temperature coefficient characteristics. This component is designed for general-purpose applications requiring stable capacitance across a wide temperature range (-55°C to 200°C). The part is classified as obsolete, necessitating identification of functionally equivalent alternatives from active product lines to ensure design continuity and supply chain reliability.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the obsolete HT13BN561JC is based on the following electrical and mechanical compatibility criteria:

Mandatory Matching Parameters:

• Capacitance value: 560 pF (exact match required)
• Temperature coefficient: C0G/NP0 (ensures equivalent frequency and temperature stability)
• Tolerance: ±5% or tighter (maintains circuit design margins)
• Mounting type: Through Hole Axial (preserves PCB assembly compatibility)

Allowable Variations:

• Voltage rating: Substitute parts may exceed the 50V minimum requirement
• Operating temperature range: Substitute parts may have different upper or lower limits, provided the application's required temperature range is covered
• Physical dimensions: Minor variations acceptable if component fits within PCB layout constraints
• Product status: Active parts preferred over obsolete classifications

The SA101A561JARC from KYOCERA AVX meets all mandatory matching criteria while offering enhanced voltage rating (100V) and active product status.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Substitute: SA101A561JARC

The SA101A561JARC is the qualified equivalent for HT13BN561JC replacement based on the following engineering criteria:

1. Electrical Equivalence: Identical capacitance (560 pF), tolerance (±5%), and temperature coefficient (C0G/NP0) ensure circuit performance parity with the original specification.

2. Voltage Margin: The 100V rating provides a 2× safety margin over the original 50V specification, enhancing reliability in the target application.

3. Product Status: Active manufacturing status ensures long-term availability and supply chain continuity, eliminating obsolescence risk.

4. Compliance: RoHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status satisfy modern regulatory requirements for electronic components.

5. Physical Compatibility: Axial through-hole configuration with straight leads maintains PCB assembly compatibility. The smaller physical dimensions (2.54mm × 4.32mm versus 3.43mm × 6.60mm) provide layout flexibility without requiring design modification.

6. Temperature Consideration: The substitute operates to 125°C maximum, which covers standard industrial applications. Applications requiring operation above 125°C must be evaluated against the original 200°C upper limit.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can SA101A561JARC be used as a direct replacement for HT13BN561JC?

A: Yes, for applications operating within the -55°C to 125°C temperature range. The electrical specifications (capacitance, tolerance, temperature coefficient) are identical. The higher voltage rating (100V vs. 50V) is compatible with all circuits designed for 50V operation.

Q: What is the impact of the different operating temperature ranges?

A: The original HT13BN561JC operates to 200°C; the substitute SA101A561JARC operates to 125°C. If your application requires operation above 125°C, the substitute is not suitable. For standard industrial and commercial applications (-55°C to 125°C), the substitute is fully compatible.

Q: Are the physical dimensions different, and does this affect PCB layout?

A: Yes, the substitute is physically smaller (2.54mm × 4.32mm versus 3.43mm × 6.60mm). This reduction in size provides layout flexibility and may allow for improved board density. No design modification is required; the component will fit within the original footprint space.

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

A: No. A higher voltage rating does not degrade performance in circuits designed for lower voltages. The 100V rating provides additional safety margin and reliability without altering capacitance, tolerance, or temperature stability characteristics.

Q: What compliance certifications does the substitute carry?

A: The SA101A561JARC is RoHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, meeting current regulatory standards for electronic components in most markets.

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

A: The substitute is supplied in Cut Tape (CT) packaging, which is standard for active production components. The original HT13BN561JC packaging format is not specified in the available data. Both formats are compatible with standard PCB assembly processes.
