K270K15C0GF53K2 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The K270K15C0GF53K2 is a 27 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 and ±10% tolerance. The part is active and ROHS3 compliant, suitable for general-purpose applications requiring stable capacitance across the operating temperature range of -55°C to 125°C. Substitute parts are identified when equivalent electrical specifications and mechanical compatibility are maintained within the allowed parameter ranges for this product category.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution for the K270K15C0GF53K2 is determined by the following critical parameters:

Electrical Equivalence Requirements:

• Capacitance value: 27 pF (exact match required)
• Temperature coefficient: C0G/NP0 (exact match required)
• Operating temperature range: -55°C ~ 125°C (minimum requirement)
• Voltage rating: 50V or higher (equal or greater voltage rating acceptable)
• Tolerance: ±10% or tighter (equal or tighter tolerance acceptable)

Mechanical Compatibility Requirements:

• Mounting type: Through Hole (exact match required)
• Package type: Radial (exact match required)
• Lead spacing and physical dimensions must accommodate PCB layout

Compliance Requirements:

• RoHS3 compliance (maintained across all substitutes)

Substitute parts are grouped into two categories: direct equivalents with identical voltage ratings and packaging, and upgrades with higher voltage ratings or improved tolerance specifications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

K270J15C0GF5TK2 (Direct Equivalent - Same Manufacturer)

This part maintains identical electrical specifications and physical dimensions to the K270K15C0GF53K2. The tolerance is improved to ±5%, providing tighter capacitance control. Both parts are manufactured by Vishay Beyschlag/Draloric/BC Components within the Mono-Kap™ K series. The primary difference is packaging format (Cut Tape versus Bulk). Selection of this part is appropriate when tighter tolerance specifications are beneficial and packaging format is compatible with assembly processes. Both parts are ROHS3 compliant and active products.

SR151A270JAA and SR151A270JAR (Upgrade - Higher Voltage Rating)

Both KYOCERA AVX SkyCap® SR series parts provide 100V voltage rating, exceeding the 50V requirement of the original specification. Tolerance is improved to ±5%. Physical dimensions are slightly smaller (0.150" L x 0.100" W versus 0.157" L x 0.102" W), and lead spacing is 0.100" (2.54mm) versus 0.098" (2.50mm). Lead style is straight rather than kinked. These parts are suitable for applications where higher voltage margin is required or where PCB layout accommodates the different lead spacing. Both parts are ROHS3 compliant and active products. The SR151A270JAA and SR151A270JAR are functionally equivalent to each other, differing only in packaging designation.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can K270J15C0GF5TK2 be used as a direct replacement for K270K15C0GF53K2?

A: Yes. Both parts have identical capacitance (27 pF), voltage rating (50V), temperature coefficient (C0G/NP0), operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 125°C), mounting type (Through Hole), and package type (Radial). The K270J15C0GF5TK2 has improved tolerance (±5% versus ±10%). The primary difference is packaging format (Cut Tape versus Bulk). Verify that your assembly process accommodates the packaging format.

Q: What is the difference between the Vishay and KYOCERA AVX substitutes?

A: The Vishay K270J15C0GF5TK2 maintains the same voltage rating (50V) and physical dimensions as the original part. The KYOCERA AVX SR151A270JAA and SR151A270JAR provide higher voltage rating (100V) with slightly different physical dimensions and straight leads instead of kinked leads. Select based on voltage margin requirements and PCB layout constraints.

Q: Can SR151A270JAA or SR151A270JAR be used if the PCB is designed for 2.50mm lead spacing?

A: These parts have 0.100" (2.54mm) lead spacing, which differs from the 0.098" (2.50mm) spacing of the original part. PCB layout compatibility must be verified before selection. If the PCB is strictly designed for 2.50mm spacing, the K270J15C0GF5TK2 is the appropriate choice.

Q: Are all substitute parts ROHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. The K270K15C0GF53K2, K270J15C0GF5TK2, SR151A270JAA, and SR151A270JAR are all ROHS3 compliant.

Q: What does the tolerance difference mean for circuit performance?

A: The original K270K15C0GF53K2 has ±10% tolerance, meaning capacitance can range from 24.3 pF to 29.7 pF. The substitute parts with ±5% tolerance range from 25.65 pF to 28.35 pF, providing tighter control. For applications sensitive to capacitance variation, the ±5% tolerance parts offer improved performance consistency.
