Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the HT13CN103KC is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Mandatory Matching Parameters:

• Capacitance value: 10000 pF
• Voltage rating: 100V minimum
• Temperature coefficient: C0G/NP0
• Operating temperature range: -55°C to 200°C minimum
• Mounting type: Through Hole
• Package configuration: Axial
• Lead style: Straight

The ACA39D103KWS qualifies as a substitute part because it maintains identical electrical specifications (capacitance, voltage, temperature coefficient, and operating range) and mechanical compatibility (through-hole axial mounting with straight leads). Both components are manufactured by KEMET and share the same industrial-grade C0G/NP0 dielectric formulation.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The ACA39D103KWS serves as the direct electrical equivalent for the obsolete HT13CN103KC. Both components satisfy identical electrical performance requirements across all critical parameters: capacitance, voltage rating, temperature coefficient, and operating temperature range.

Product Status Consideration: The HT13CN103KC is classified as obsolete, while the ACA39D103KWS maintains active product status with KEMET. This status difference supports transition to the ACA39D103KWS for new designs and ongoing procurement.

Compliance Alignment: Both parts carry identical ECCN classification (EAR99), ensuring equivalent export control treatment. The ACA39D103KWS includes REACH Unaffected status documentation.

Physical Form Factor: The substitute part exhibits a larger physical envelope (0.150" square x 0.400" length versus 0.135" diameter x 0.260" length). PCB layout and mechanical clearance must accommodate this dimensional difference during component placement.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the ACA39D103KWS replace the HT13CN103KC in existing designs?

A: Yes, from an electrical standpoint. Both components deliver identical capacitance (10000 pF), voltage rating (100V), temperature coefficient (C0G/NP0), and operating temperature range (-55°C to 200°C). Physical board layout must be verified to accommodate the larger form factor of the ACA39D103KWS.

Q: What is the primary difference between these two parts?

A: The main difference is product status and physical dimensions. The HT13CN103KC is obsolete; the ACA39D103KWS is active. The substitute part is physically larger (0.150" square x 0.400" length versus 0.135" diameter x 0.260" length), requiring PCB layout verification.

Q: Are there any electrical performance differences?

A: No. Both parts are manufactured by KEMET using identical C0G/NP0 dielectric technology and share the same electrical specifications across all rated parameters.

Q: Does the larger size of the ACA39D103KWS affect circuit performance?

A: Physical size does not affect electrical performance. However, the increased dimensions require verification of available PCB space and mechanical clearance in the target application.

Q: Are export controls identical for both parts?

A: Yes. Both the HT13CN103KC and ACA39D103KWS carry EAR99 classification, ensuring equivalent export control treatment.
