Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution for the K271M15X7RH53L2 is determined by maintaining the following critical parameters:

• Capacitance value: 270 pF (exact match required)
• Voltage rating: 100V (minimum requirement)
• Temperature coefficient: X7R (required for temperature stability)
• Mounting type: Through Hole Radial (physical compatibility)
• Lead spacing: 0.098" (2.50mm) (PCB footprint compatibility)
• RoHS and REACH compliance status (regulatory requirement)

The K271K15X7RH53L2 qualifies as a substitute part because it maintains all critical electrical and mechanical parameters while offering improved capacitance tolerance (±10% versus ±20%), providing tighter specification control for applications requiring higher precision.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the K271M15X7RH53L2 and K271K15X7RH53L2 are active production parts with identical RoHS3 and REACH compliance status. Selection between these parts depends on application tolerance requirements:

• Use K271M15X7RH53L2 when ±20% tolerance meets circuit specifications and cost optimization is prioritized.
• Use K271K15X7RH53L2 when tighter capacitance tolerance (±10%) is required for circuit performance or when higher inventory availability is advantageous.

Both parts are physically and electrically interchangeable within the specified parameters, with identical PCB footprint compatibility and thermal performance across the -55°C to 125°C operating range.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can K271K15X7RH53L2 be used as a direct replacement for K271M15X7RH53L2?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical capacitance (270 pF), voltage rating (100V), temperature coefficient (X7R), physical dimensions, lead spacing, and compliance certifications. The K271K15X7RH53L2 offers improved tolerance specification (±10% versus ±20%).

Q: What is the difference between these two parts?

A: The primary difference is capacitance tolerance. K271M15X7RH53L2 has ±20% tolerance, while K271K15X7RH53L2 has ±10% tolerance. All other electrical and mechanical specifications are identical.

Q: Are the PCB footprints identical?

A: Yes. Both parts have identical radial through-hole configuration with 0.098" (2.50mm) lead spacing, 0.157" L x 0.102" W body dimensions, and 0.220" (5.60mm) maximum seated height.

Q: Do both parts meet RoHS and REACH requirements?

A: Yes. Both K271M15X7RH53L2 and K271K15X7RH53L2 are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected.

Q: Which part should be selected for new designs?

A: For new designs, K271K15X7RH53L2 is recommended due to tighter tolerance specification and higher production availability, provided the application does not have cost constraints that require the ±20% tolerance part.
