K331J15C0GF53H5 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The K331J15C0GF53H5 is a 330 pF ceramic capacitor rated at 50V with C0G/NP0 temperature coefficient, manufactured by Vishay Beyschlag/Draloric/BC Components in the Mono-Kap™ K series. 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 and ROHS3 compliant. Equivalent and substitute parts are identified based on matching electrical specifications and compatible mechanical parameters for direct circuit board replacement.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility is determined by matching the following critical parameters: capacitance value (330 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 that may vary within acceptable limits for board layout compatibility. All identified substitutes maintain identical electrical performance specifications while differing in physical footprint, lead configuration, or manufacturer series designation.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

For new designs, select from parts with Active product status: K331J15C0GF53L2 (Vishay, same series), 1C20C0G331J050B (Vishay alternative series), RDE5C1H331J0K1H03B (Murata, 5.00mm lead spacing), or RDE5C1H331J0P1H03B (Murata, 2.50mm lead spacing). All active substitutes maintain ROHS3 compliance and identical electrical specifications.

For legacy designs or where existing inventory must be maintained, FK18C0G1H331JN020 and FK28C0G1H331JN000 (TDK Corporation, FK series) remain available but are designated Not For New Designs. These parts are ROHS3 compliant and electrically equivalent but should not be selected for new circuit implementations.

Lead spacing selection depends on board layout requirements: 5.00mm spacing accommodates the original K331J15C0GF53H5 footprint, while 2.50mm spacing provides compact placement for space-constrained applications. Physical height variations are minor and typically do not impact PCB assembly compatibility.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can I substitute K331J15C0GF53L2 for K331J15C0GF53H5 in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both parts are from the Vishay Mono-Kap™ K series with identical electrical specifications (330 pF, ±5%, 50V, C0G/NP0). The primary difference is lead spacing (2.50mm vs. 5.00mm) and maximum seated height (5.60mm vs. 6.60mm). Board layout compatibility must be verified based on pad spacing and clearance requirements.

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

A: C0G and NP0 designations are equivalent specifications for the same temperature coefficient characteristic. Both terms describe capacitors with negligible capacitance change across the operating temperature range (-55°C to 125°C). The terminology varies by manufacturer and region but represents identical electrical performance.

Q: Are TDK FK series parts suitable for new production?

A: No. FK18C0G1H331JN020 and FK28C0G1H331JN000 are designated Not For New Designs. These parts remain available for legacy system support and repair but should not be incorporated into new circuit designs. Active alternatives from Vishay or Murata are recommended for new implementations.

Q: How do lead spacing options affect PCB design?

A: Lead spacing determines the distance between component pads on the circuit board. The original K331J15C0GF53H5 uses 5.00mm spacing. Alternatives with 2.50mm spacing (K331J15C0GF53L2, FK18C0G1H331JN020, RDE5C1H331J0P1H03B) require different pad layouts and are suitable for compact designs. Verify existing board footprints before selecting a substitute with different lead spacing.

Q: Do all substitutes meet the same compliance standards?

A: Yes. All listed substitutes are ROHS3 compliant, REACH unaffected, and classified under ECCN EAR99 with HTSUS code 8532.24.0060. Compliance certifications are identical across all parts.
