K270J15C0GF53H5 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The K270J15C0GF53H5 is a 27 pF ceramic capacitor manufactured by Vishay Beyschlag/Draloric/BC Components in the Mono-Kap™ K series. This radial through-hole capacitor operates at 50V with C0G/NP0 temperature coefficient and ±5% tolerance, designed for general-purpose applications across the -55°C to 125°C temperature range. The part maintains Active product status and is ROHS3 compliant. Equivalent and substitute parts are necessary when the primary part becomes unavailable, when design revisions require alternative lead spacing or package dimensions, or when sourcing from multiple manufacturers is required for supply chain resilience.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution for the K270J15C0GF53H5 is determined by strict equivalence in electrical parameters and mechanical compatibility. All substitute parts must match the following criteria:

Capacitance: 27 pF (exact match required)
Tolerance: ±5% (exact match required)
Voltage Rating: 50V (exact match required)
Temperature Coefficient: C0G/NP0 (exact match required)
Operating Temperature: -55°C ~ 125°C (exact match required)
Mounting Type: Through Hole Radial (exact match required)
RoHS Compliance: ROHS3 Compliant (exact match required)

Lead spacing and physical dimensions may vary within the radial through-hole package category, provided the component fits the PCB layout. The substitute parts are grouped by manufacturer and series, with inventory availability noted for procurement planning.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

For new designs, prioritize Active product status parts: RDE5C1H270J0K1H03B and RDE5C1H270J0P1H03B from Murata Electronics, or the original K270J15C0GF53H5 from Vishay Beyschlag/Draloric/BC Components. All candidates are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected.

When lead spacing is critical to PCB layout, select based on the following:

0.197" (5.00mm) lead spacing: K270J15C0GF53H5, FK28C0G1H270JN000, or RDE5C1H270J0K1H03B
0.098" (2.50mm) lead spacing: FK18C0G1H270JN020 or RDE5C1H270J0P1H03B

TDK parts FK18C0G1H270JN020 and FK28C0G1H270JN000 carry "Not For New Designs" status and should be used only for legacy system maintenance or when existing inventory must be consumed.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can FK18C0G1H270JN020 replace K270J15C0GF53H5 directly on the PCB?

A: Electrical substitution is valid. However, FK18C0G1H270JN020 has 0.098" (2.50mm) lead spacing versus the original 0.197" (5.00mm). PCB layout compatibility must be verified before substitution.

Q: What is the difference between RDE5C1H270J0K1H03B and RDE5C1H270J0P1H03B?

A: Both are Murata RDE series parts with identical electrical specifications. The primary difference is lead spacing: RDE5C1H270J0K1H03B has 0.197" (5.00mm) spacing, while RDE5C1H270J0P1H03B has 0.098" (2.50mm) spacing. Select based on PCB hole pattern requirements.

Q: Why are TDK FK series parts marked "Not For New Designs"?

A: This designation indicates the manufacturer has discontinued these parts for new applications. They remain available for legacy system support but should not be specified in new product designs.

Q: Are all substitute parts ROHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. All parts listed—K270J15C0GF53H5, FK18C0G1H270JN020, FK28C0G1H270JN000, RDE5C1H270J0K1H03B, and RDE5C1H270J0P1H03B—are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected.

Q: Which substitute offers the best long-term availability?

A: RDE5C1H270J0K1H03B and RDE5C1H270J0P1H03B from Murata Electronics carry Active product status with current inventory of 1860 and 1414 units respectively, indicating ongoing production support.
