K271J15C0GF53L2 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The K271J15C0GF53L2 is a 270 pF ceramic capacitor rated at 50V with C0G/NP0 temperature coefficient, manufactured by Vishay Beyschlag/Draloric/BC Components. This radial through-hole component is designed for general-purpose applications requiring stable capacitance across the operating temperature range of -55°C to 125°C. The part is currently active in production and ROHS3 compliant. Equivalent parts are necessary when the primary part is unavailable, when design revisions require alternative sourcing, or when supply chain optimization requires qualified substitutes with identical electrical and mechanical specifications.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the K271J15C0GF53L2 is determined by strict equivalence across the following parameters: capacitance value (270 pF), tolerance (±5%), voltage rating (50V), temperature coefficient (C0G/NP0), operating temperature range (-55°C to 125°C), mounting type (through hole), and package configuration (radial). Lead spacing and physical dimensions are secondary considerations; minor variations in height or body dimensions are acceptable provided the lead spacing remains compatible with the PCB layout. All substitute parts must maintain ROHS3 compliance and equivalent electrical performance across the full operating temperature range.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The FK18C0G1H271JN020 (TDK Corporation) is electrically and mechanically equivalent to the K271J15C0GF53L2 with identical lead spacing (0.098" / 2.50mm) and minimal height variation (0.217" vs 0.220"). However, TDK has designated this part as "Not For New Designs," indicating it is in end-of-life status. This part is suitable only for replacement or repair of existing assemblies where the original specification must be maintained.

The RDE5C1H271J0K1H03B (Murata Electronics) meets all electrical specifications and is actively produced. However, it features a different lead spacing of 0.197" (5.00mm) compared to the 0.098" (2.50mm) of the primary part. This lead spacing difference requires PCB layout modification and is not a direct pin-compatible substitute. Selection of the Murata part requires design revision and PCB rework.

For new designs or when direct pin compatibility is required, the K271J15C0GF53L2 remains the preferred choice. For existing production requiring substitution with pin compatibility, the FK18C0G1H271JN020 is electrically qualified despite its end-of-life status. For applications where PCB redesign is feasible, the RDE5C1H271J0K1H03B offers active production status and long-term availability.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the RDE5C1H271J0K1H03B be used as a direct replacement for the K271J15C0GF53L2?

A: No. While both parts are electrically equivalent (270 pF, ±5%, 50V, C0G/NP0), the RDE5C1H271J0K1H03B has a lead spacing of 0.197" (5.00mm) versus the K271J15C0GF53L2's 0.098" (2.50mm). Direct substitution requires PCB modification.

Q: Is the FK18C0G1H271JN020 suitable for new product designs?

A: No. TDK has classified this part as "Not For New Designs." It is suitable only for replacement of existing assemblies or repair applications where the original specification must be maintained.

Q: What are the critical parameters that determine substitution eligibility?

A: Capacitance (270 pF), tolerance (±5%), voltage rating (50V), temperature coefficient (C0G/NP0), operating temperature range (-55°C to 125°C), and lead spacing must match or be compatible with the PCB layout. Mounting type (through hole) and package configuration (radial) must remain unchanged.

Q: Are all substitute parts ROHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. Both the FK18C0G1H271JN020 and RDE5C1H271J0K1H03B are ROHS3 compliant, matching the compliance status of the K271J15C0GF53L2.

Q: What is the difference between C0G and NP0 temperature coefficients?

A: C0G and NP0 designations refer to the same temperature coefficient specification. C0G is the EIA designation, and NP0 is the IEC designation. Both indicate zero temperature coefficient performance across the operating range.
