Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the HT13BW104KN is determined by the following critical parameters:

Electrical Parameters (Must Match):

• Capacitance: 0.1 µF
• Tolerance: ±10%
• Voltage Rating: 50V
• Temperature Coefficient: X7R
• Operating Temperature Range: -55°C to 200°C

Mechanical Parameters (Must Match):

• Mounting Type: Through Hole
• Package Type: Axial
• Lead Style: Straight

The ARA25B104KWS meets all electrical and mechanical substitution criteria. Both parts share identical capacitance, tolerance, voltage rating, temperature coefficient, and operating temperature specifications. Both are axial through-hole components with straight leads, ensuring mechanical and electrical compatibility in circuit applications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The ARA25B104KWS is a functional equivalent to the HT13BW104KN based on matching electrical specifications and mechanical compatibility. Both components share identical capacitance, tolerance, voltage rating, temperature coefficient, and operating temperature range.

Product Status Consideration: The HT13BW104KN is obsolete, while the ARA25B104KWS is active. The active status of the substitute part ensures ongoing availability for new production and replacement applications.

Compliance Difference: The HT13BW104KN is RoHS3 compliant, while the ARA25B104KWS is RoHS non-compliant. Applications subject to RoHS3 regulatory requirements must account for this compliance difference when implementing the substitute part.

Physical Dimensions: Minor dimensional variations exist between the two parts. The HT13BW104KN measures 0.135" diameter by 0.260" length, while the ARA25B104KWS measures 0.100" square by 0.270" length. Both dimensions remain compatible with standard through-hole PCB layouts designed for axial ceramic capacitors.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the ARA25B104KWS directly replace the HT13BW104KN in existing circuit designs?

A: Yes. Both parts meet identical electrical specifications (0.1 µF, ±10%, 50V, X7R, -55°C to 200°C) and share the same mounting type (through-hole axial). Physical dimensions are similar and compatible with standard PCB layouts for axial components.

Q: What is the primary reason for substitution?

A: The HT13BW104KN is obsolete. The ARA25B104KWS is an active product with equivalent electrical and mechanical characteristics, ensuring supply chain continuity.

Q: Are there compliance implications when using the ARA25B104KWS as a substitute?

A: Yes. The HT13BW104KN is RoHS3 compliant, while the ARA25B104KWS is RoHS non-compliant. Applications requiring RoHS3 certification must evaluate this difference against regulatory requirements.

Q: Do the physical dimension differences affect PCB compatibility?

A: No. Both components are axial through-hole capacitors with straight leads. The minor dimensional variations (0.135" vs 0.100" body width, 0.260" vs 0.270" length) remain within standard tolerances for axial component PCB footprints.

Q: What parameters must match for substitution eligibility?

A: Capacitance (0.1 µF), tolerance (±10%), voltage rating (50V), temperature coefficient (X7R), operating temperature range (-55°C to 200°C), mounting type (through-hole), package type (axial), and lead style (straight) must all match between the original and substitute part.
