K331K10C0GF5TH5 Equivalent & Substitute Parts
Part Overview
The K331K10C0GF5TH5 is a 330 pF ceramic capacitor rated at 50V with C0G/NP0 temperature coefficient, manufactured by Vishay Beyschlag/Draloric/BC Components. This radial through-hole component is classified as Active product status and is ROHS3 compliant. Substitute parts are identified when equivalent electrical performance can be maintained within the allowed parameter tolerances for this capacitor category, particularly when packaging format or tolerance specifications differ from the original specification.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation
Substitution eligibility for the K331K10C0GF5TH5 is determined by the following criteria:
Critical Parameters (Must Match):
- Capacitance value: 330 pF
- Voltage rating: 50V minimum
- Mounting type: Through Hole
- Lead spacing: 0.197" (5.00mm)
- Operating temperature range: -55°C ~ 125°C minimum
- RoHS compliance: ROHS3 Compliant
Allowable Variations:
- Tolerance: ±10% or tighter (±5% acceptable)
- Temperature coefficient: C0G/NP0 or X7R (both acceptable for general purpose applications)
- Packaging format: Tape & Reel (TR) or Cut Tape (CT)
- Physical dimensions: Minor variations within radial package constraints
Two substitute parts meet these criteria with documented equivalency.

Engineering Selection Recommendations
K331J15C0GF5TH5: This substitute maintains C0G/NP0 temperature coefficient matching the original specification while offering improved tolerance at ±5%. All electrical parameters, voltage rating, and operating temperature range are equivalent. Packaging format differs (Cut Tape vs. Tape & Reel), which may affect procurement and assembly processes. This part is suitable for applications requiring tighter capacitance tolerance.
K331K15X7RF5TH5: This substitute maintains ±10% tolerance and voltage rating while utilizing X7R temperature coefficient instead of C0G/NP0. X7R provides broader temperature stability characteristics across the -55°C ~ 125°C operating range. Packaging format is Cut Tape. This part is suitable for general purpose applications where X7R temperature coefficient performance is acceptable.
Both substitutes maintain ROHS3 compliance, Active product status, and identical lead spacing for direct board-level compatibility.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q: Can K331J15C0GF5TH5 be used as a direct replacement for K331K10C0GF5TH5?
A: Yes. Both parts share identical capacitance (330 pF), voltage rating (50V), temperature coefficient (C0G/NP0), operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 125°C), and lead spacing (5.00mm). The K331J15C0GF5TH5 offers tighter tolerance (±5% vs. ±10%), which is a functional improvement. Packaging format differs (Cut Tape vs. Tape & Reel), requiring process adjustment.
Q: What is the difference between C0G/NP0 and X7R temperature coefficients?
A: C0G/NP0 provides stable capacitance across the operating temperature range with minimal variation. X7R provides broader temperature stability but with slightly different capacitance characteristics. Both are acceptable for general purpose applications and maintain the specified -55°C ~ 125°C operating range.
Q: Are the physical dimensions compatible with the original PCB layout?
A: Lead spacing is identical at 0.197" (5.00mm) for all three parts, ensuring direct board-level compatibility. Minor variations in body dimensions exist due to different manufacturing tolerances, but these do not affect through-hole mounting.
Q: What packaging format should I select?
A: The original part uses Tape & Reel (TR) packaging. Both substitutes use Cut Tape (CT) packaging. Selection depends on assembly process requirements and procurement volume. Tape & Reel is typically preferred for automated assembly; Cut Tape for lower-volume or manual assembly operations.
Q: Are all parts ROHS3 compliant?
A: Yes. K331K10C0GF5TH5, K331J15C0GF5TH5, and K331K15X7RF5TH5 are all ROHS3 compliant with Active product status.
