Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the HT14CN332FN is determined by the following critical parameters:

Mandatory Matching Parameters:

• Capacitance value: 3300 pF
• Tolerance: ±1%
• Voltage rating: 100V (equal or higher)
• Temperature coefficient: C0G or NP0
• Mounting type: Through Hole
• Package type: Axial
• Lead style: Straight

The SA301A332FAR manufactured by KYOCERA AVX meets all mandatory substitution criteria. Both components share identical electrical specifications for capacitance, tolerance, voltage rating, and temperature coefficient. Both are axial through-hole components with straight leads, ensuring mechanical and electrical compatibility in circuit applications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The SA301A332FAR is a direct electrical substitute for the HT14CN332FN based on matching capacitance, tolerance, voltage rating, and temperature coefficient specifications. The substitute part is currently in active production status, ensuring long-term availability compared to the obsolete HT14CN332FN.

Consideration for Operating Temperature: The HT14CN332FN supports operation to 200°C, while the SA301A332FAR is rated to 125°C. Applications requiring operation above 125°C must evaluate whether the narrower temperature range of the substitute is acceptable for the specific circuit design.

Physical Dimensions: The SA301A332FAR is more compact (0.150" Dia x 0.290" L) compared to the HT14CN332FN (0.155" Dia x 0.400" L). This dimensional difference may affect board layout and mechanical fit in existing designs. Verification of available board space is necessary before substitution.

Compliance Status: The SA301A332FAR carries ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status, meeting current regulatory requirements for electronic component procurement.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can SA301A332FAR replace HT14CN332FN in all applications?

A: SA301A332FAR is electrically equivalent for applications operating within -55°C to 125°C. Applications requiring operation above 125°C require evaluation of the narrower temperature range. Physical dimensions differ; board layout compatibility must be verified.

Q: What are the key electrical parameters that must match for substitution?

A: Capacitance (3300 pF), tolerance (±1%), voltage rating (100V), and temperature coefficient (C0G/NP0) must match exactly. Both parts meet these requirements.

Q: Does the physical size difference affect circuit performance?

A: Physical size does not affect electrical performance. However, the more compact SA301A332FAR may require board layout verification to ensure proper fit in existing PCB designs.

Q: Is SA301A332FAR available for procurement?

A: Yes, SA301A332FAR is in active production status with current inventory availability, unlike the obsolete HT14CN332FN.

Q: What compliance certifications does the substitute part carry?

A: SA301A332FAR is ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, meeting current regulatory standards for electronic component procurement.

Q: Are there any lead spacing or mounting considerations?

A: Both parts are through-hole axial components with straight leads. Standard PCB mounting practices for axial capacitors apply to both components.
