Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the K222K15C0GF53L2 is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Capacitance value: 2200 pF (exact match required)
• Voltage rating: 50V minimum (equal or higher acceptable)
• Temperature coefficient: C0G/NP0 (required for stability)
• Mounting type: Through Hole radial configuration
• Lead spacing: 0.098" (2.50mm) for PCB compatibility
• Physical dimensions: 0.157" L x 0.102" W (4.00mm x 2.60mm)
• Compliance: ROHS3 and REACH status

The K222J15C0GF53L2 qualifies as a direct substitute based on identical capacitance, voltage rating, temperature coefficient, mounting configuration, and physical dimensions. The tolerance specification differs (±5% versus ±10%), representing an upgrade in capacitance accuracy while maintaining full electrical and mechanical compatibility.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both K222K15C0GF53L2 and K222J15C0GF53L2 are active production components with identical ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status. Selection between these parts depends on tolerance requirements for the application. The K222K15C0GF53L2 with ±10% tolerance is suitable for general-purpose applications where capacitance variation within this range is acceptable. The K222J15C0GF53L2 with ±5% tolerance provides improved accuracy and is appropriate for circuits requiring tighter capacitance control. Both parts are manufactured by the same supplier within the same series, ensuring consistent quality and reliability across the operating temperature range of -55°C to 125°C.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can K222J15C0GF53L2 replace K222K15C0GF53L2 in existing designs?

A: Yes. The K222J15C0GF53L2 is a direct mechanical and electrical substitute. It maintains identical capacitance value, voltage rating, temperature coefficient, physical dimensions, and lead spacing. The ±5% tolerance of the substitute represents improved accuracy compared to the ±10% tolerance of the original part.

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

A: Tolerance specifies the allowable deviation of the actual capacitance value from the nominal 2200 pF specification. The K222K15C0GF53L2 with ±10% tolerance allows capacitance between 1980 pF and 2420 pF. The K222J15C0GF53L2 with ±5% tolerance allows capacitance between 2090 pF and 2310 pF, providing a narrower and more predictable range.

Q: Are the physical dimensions identical between these parts?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical dimensions of 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). They are directly interchangeable on PCBs designed for radial through-hole mounting.

Q: Do both parts meet the same compliance standards?

A: Yes. Both K222K15C0GF53L2 and K222J15C0GF53L2 are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, meeting current regulatory requirements for electronic components.

Q: What applications are these capacitors suitable for?

A: Both parts are classified for general-purpose applications. The C0G/NP0 temperature coefficient ensures stable capacitance performance across the -55°C to 125°C operating range, making them suitable for circuits where capacitance stability is required across temperature variations.
