K182J15C0GF53L2 Ceramic Capacitor Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The K182J15C0GF53L2 is a 1800 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 currently active and ROHS3 compliant. Equivalent substitutes are necessary when primary inventory is unavailable or when design requirements permit alternative manufacturers meeting identical electrical and mechanical specifications.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the K182J15C0GF53L2 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Capacitance value: 1800 pF
• Tolerance: ±5%
• Voltage rating: 50V minimum
• Temperature coefficient: C0G or NP0
• Operating temperature range: -55°C to 125°C minimum
• Mounting type: Through Hole
• Package type: Radial

The FK28C0G1H182JN000 from TDK Corporation meets all electrical equivalence criteria. Physical dimensions and lead configurations may vary within acceptable mechanical tolerances for through-hole radial packages, provided the component fits the PCB layout and lead spacing accommodates the design.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The FK28C0G1H182JN000 is electrically equivalent to the K182J15C0GF53L2 across all critical parameters. Both components are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, meeting regulatory requirements for industrial and commercial applications.

The primary distinction is product status: the K182J15C0GF53L2 is active, while the FK28C0G1H182JN000 is designated "Not For New Designs." This status indicates TDK has discontinued the FK series for new applications. Selection between these parts depends on design phase and supply chain constraints. For active production and new designs, the K182J15C0GF53L2 is preferred. For legacy system maintenance or when K182J15C0GF53L2 inventory is exhausted, the FK28C0G1H182JN000 remains electrically suitable.

Physical differences in lead spacing (2.50mm versus 5.00mm) and lead style (straight versus kinked) require PCB layout verification before substitution.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can FK28C0G1H182JN000 replace K182J15C0GF53L2 in existing designs?

A: Electrical substitution is valid. Physical compatibility requires verification of PCB hole spacing and lead bend radius. The FK28C0G1H182JN000 has 5.00mm lead spacing versus 2.50mm for the K182J15C0GF53L2, necessitating layout confirmation.

Q: What does "Not For New Designs" mean for the FK28C0G1H182JN000?

A: This designation indicates the manufacturer has discontinued the part for new applications. Existing inventory may be available, but long-term supply is not guaranteed. New designs should specify the K182J15C0GF53L2 or equivalent active-status alternatives.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. Both K182J15C0GF53L2 and FK28C0G1H182JN000 are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, meeting environmental and regulatory standards for industrial electronics.

Q: Do the parts have identical electrical performance?

A: Yes. Capacitance (1800 pF), tolerance (±5%), voltage rating (50V), temperature coefficient (C0G/NP0), and operating temperature range (-55°C to 125°C) are identical, ensuring equivalent electrical behavior in circuit applications.

Q: What is the significance of lead spacing differences?

A: Lead spacing affects PCB hole positioning. The K182J15C0GF53L2 uses 2.50mm spacing; the FK28C0G1H182JN000 uses 5.00mm spacing. PCB layouts designed for one spacing may not accommodate the other without modification.
