Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution for the K472K20C0GF53L2 is determined by the following criteria:

Electrical Parameters (Must Match):

• Capacitance: 4700 pF
• Tolerance: ±10%
• Operating Temperature Range: -55°C ~ 125°C
• Lead Spacing: 0.098" (2.50mm)

Allowable Variations:

• Temperature Coefficient: C0G/NP0 can be substituted with X7R, as both provide stable performance across the operating temperature range
• Voltage Rating: 50V can be substituted with higher ratings (100V) as this provides additional safety margin without affecting circuit operation
• Physical Dimensions: Smaller package footprints are acceptable provided lead spacing remains constant

Mechanical Parameters (Must Match):

• Mounting Type: Through Hole
• Package Type: Radial
• Lead Style: Straight

The two identified substitute parts meet these criteria through alternative temperature coefficient formulations and/or higher voltage ratings.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All three parts—the main part K472K20C0GF53L2 and substitutes K472K15X7RF53L2 and K472K15X7RH53L2—are active products manufactured by Vishay Beyschlag/Draloric/BC Components within the Mono-Kap™ K series. All are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, meeting current regulatory requirements.

K472K15X7RF53L2 provides direct electrical substitution with identical 50V rating and 4700 pF capacitance. The X7R temperature coefficient offers equivalent performance across the -55°C to 125°C operating range. This part features a smaller physical footprint (4.00mm x 2.60mm versus 5.00mm x 3.20mm) while maintaining the required 2.50mm lead spacing for PCB compatibility.

K472K15X7RH53L2 provides substitution with elevated voltage rating (100V versus 50V) and X7R temperature coefficient. The increased voltage rating provides additional design margin for applications where higher transient voltages may occur. Physical dimensions and lead spacing remain compatible with the original design.

Selection between these options depends on circuit voltage requirements and available PCB space. Both substitutes maintain the same capacitance value, tolerance, and operating temperature range as the original part.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can K472K15X7RF53L2 be used as a direct replacement for K472K20C0GF53L2?

A: Yes. Both parts have identical capacitance (4700 pF), tolerance (±10%), voltage rating (50V), and lead spacing (2.50mm). The difference in temperature coefficient (X7R versus C0G/NP0) does not affect substitution compatibility, as both provide stable performance across the -55°C to 125°C operating range. The smaller physical footprint of K472K15X7RF53L2 may provide PCB layout advantages.

Q: What is the difference between the two substitute parts?

A: K472K15X7RF53L2 maintains the 50V rating of the original part, while K472K15X7RH53L2 provides a 100V rating. Both use X7R temperature coefficient and have identical capacitance and tolerance. The 100V variant is suitable for applications requiring higher voltage margin or where circuit conditions may exceed 50V.

Q: Are the physical dimensions compatible with the original PCB layout?

A: Lead spacing is identical (0.098" / 2.50mm) for all three parts, ensuring PCB footprint compatibility. The substitute parts have smaller overall dimensions (4.00mm x 2.60mm versus 5.00mm x 3.20mm), which may provide additional PCB routing flexibility without requiring layout modifications.

Q: Do all parts meet current compliance requirements?

A: Yes. All three parts are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, meeting current regulatory standards for electronic components.

Q: What is the difference between C0G/NP0 and X7R temperature coefficients?

A: Both C0G/NP0 and X7R are stable temperature coefficient classifications suitable for general purpose applications across the -55°C to 125°C range. C0G/NP0 provides slightly tighter capacitance stability, while X7R offers broader voltage and temperature performance characteristics. For the specified operating range, both are functionally equivalent.
