Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the K180K10C0GF53L2 is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Capacitance value must remain 18 pF
• Voltage rating must be 50V or higher
• Temperature coefficient must be C0G or NP0
• Mounting type must be Through Hole with Radial configuration
• Lead spacing must be 0.098" (2.50mm)
• RoHS3 compliance must be maintained

The K180J15C0GF53L2 qualifies as a substitute because it maintains identical capacitance, voltage rating, temperature coefficient, mounting configuration, and lead spacing. The tolerance specification differs (±5% versus ±10%), representing a tighter tolerance that is functionally compatible with applications designed for the original part.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the K180K10C0GF53L2 and K180J15C0GF53L2 maintain Active product status and full ROHS3 compliance. The K180J15C0GF53L2 substitute offers tighter tolerance specification (±5%) compared to the original part (±10%), which may provide improved circuit performance in applications requiring closer capacitance accuracy. Both components are manufactured by Vishay Beyschlag/Draloric/BC Components within the Mono-Kap™ K series, ensuring consistent quality and reliability standards. Dimensional differences are minor and do not affect lead spacing or mounting compatibility on standard PCB layouts.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Can K180J15C0GF53L2 be used as a direct replacement for K180K10C0GF53L2?

Yes. Both parts share identical capacitance (18 pF), voltage rating (50V), temperature coefficient (C0G/NP0), lead spacing (0.098"), and mounting configuration (Through Hole Radial). The substitute features improved tolerance specification (±5% versus ±10%).

What are the dimensional differences between these parts?

The K180J15C0GF53L2 is slightly larger: 0.157" L x 0.102" W (4.00mm x 2.60mm) with 0.220" maximum seated height, compared to the K180K10C0GF53L2 at 0.142" L x 0.091" W (3.60mm x 2.30mm) with 0.205" maximum seated height. Lead spacing remains identical at 0.098" (2.50mm).

Are both parts RoHS compliant?

Yes. Both K180K10C0GF53L2 and K180J15C0GF53L2 are ROHS3 Compliant and REACH Unaffected.

What is the significance of the tolerance difference?

The K180J15C0GF53L2 provides ±5% tolerance versus ±10% for the original part. This tighter tolerance may be beneficial in precision applications where capacitance accuracy is critical, while remaining fully compatible with circuits designed for the original specification.

Are these parts interchangeable on PCB layouts?

Yes. Identical lead spacing (0.098") ensures compatibility with existing PCB footprints. Minor dimensional variations do not affect mounting or electrical performance in standard through-hole applications.
