K180K15C0GF53L2 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The K180K15C0GF53L2 is an 18 pF ceramic capacitor manufactured by Vishay Beyschlag/Draloric/BC Components in the Mono-Kap™ K series. This radial through-hole component operates at 50V with C0G/NP0 temperature coefficient characteristics, suitable for general-purpose applications requiring stable capacitance across the -55°C to 125°C operating range. The part is ROHS3 compliant and currently in active production status with 909 units in stock.

Substitute parts are identified when equivalent electrical specifications and mechanical compatibility are maintained within the allowed parameter tolerances for this product category.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the K180K15C0GF53L2 is determined by the following criteria:

• Capacitance value must be 18 pF
• Voltage rating must be 50V or higher
• Temperature coefficient must be C0G or NP0
• Operating temperature range must encompass -55°C to 125°C
• Mounting type must be through-hole radial configuration
• Lead spacing must be 0.098" (2.50mm)
• RoHS compliance status must be maintained

The K180J15C0GF53L2 qualifies as a direct substitute based on these parameters. The tolerance specification differs (±5% versus ±10%), which represents a tighter tolerance specification and does not restrict substitution eligibility.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the K180K15C0GF53L2 and K180J15C0GF53L2 are active production components manufactured by Vishay Beyschlag/Draloric/BC Components. Both maintain ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status, meeting current regulatory requirements for electronic component procurement.

The K180J15C0GF53L2 provides a tighter tolerance specification (±5%) compared to the K180K15C0GF53L2 (±10%), while maintaining identical electrical and mechanical characteristics. Selection between these parts depends on circuit tolerance requirements and application specifications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can K180J15C0GF53L2 replace K180K15C0GF53L2 in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical capacitance (18 pF), voltage rating (50V), temperature coefficient (C0G/NP0), operating temperature range (-55°C to 125°C), and mechanical dimensions. The K180J15C0GF53L2 features a tighter tolerance specification, which does not restrict substitution.

Q: What is the difference between ±10% and ±5% tolerance?

A: Tolerance specifies the allowable deviation from the nominal capacitance value. K180K15C0GF53L2 allows deviation between 16.2 pF and 19.8 pF. K180J15C0GF53L2 allows deviation between 17.1 pF and 18.9 pF. The ±5% specification provides tighter capacitance control.

Q: Are the physical dimensions identical?

A: Yes. Both parts are packaged in radial configuration with identical dimensions: 0.157" L x 0.102" W (4.00mm x 2.60mm), maximum seated height of 0.220" (5.60mm), and lead spacing of 0.098" (2.50mm).

Q: Do both parts meet current compliance requirements?

A: Yes. Both K180K15C0GF53L2 and K180J15C0GF53L2 are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, meeting current regulatory standards for electronic component procurement.
