K680K10C0GF53L2 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The K680K10C0GF53L2 is a 68 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 ROHS3 compliant and currently active in production. Substitute parts are identified when equivalent electrical specifications and mechanical compatibility allow direct replacement in circuit designs.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the K680K10C0GF53L2 is determined by the following critical parameters: capacitance value (68 pF), voltage rating (50V minimum), temperature coefficient (C0G/NP0), lead spacing (0.098" / 2.50mm), and mounting type (through-hole radial). Tolerance variations and physical dimensions (length, width, height) are secondary considerations that do not prevent functional substitution when primary electrical parameters match.

The identified substitute parts maintain identical capacitance, voltage rating, temperature coefficient, lead spacing, and mounting configuration. Variations in tolerance and package dimensions are within acceptable substitution criteria for this component category.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both K680K15C0GF53L2 and K680J15C0GF53L2 are valid substitutes for the K680K10C0GF53L2 based on matching electrical specifications and compliance certifications. All three parts are ROHS3 compliant, REACH unaffected, and maintain identical capacitance, voltage rating, temperature coefficient, and lead spacing.

K680K15C0GF53L2 provides direct electrical equivalence with identical tolerance (±10%) and is suitable for applications where the original part specifications are required. K680J15C0GF53L2 offers improved tolerance performance (±5%) while maintaining all other electrical and mechanical compatibility parameters, making it applicable for circuits requiring tighter capacitance accuracy.

Physical dimension differences between the original part and substitutes (length, width, and height variations) must be evaluated against specific PCB layout constraints and available board space.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can K680K15C0GF53L2 replace K680K10C0GF53L2 directly?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical capacitance (68 pF), voltage rating (50V), temperature coefficient (C0G/NP0), lead spacing (2.50mm), and mounting type (through-hole radial). The tolerance specification (±10%) is identical. Physical dimensions are slightly larger but do not affect electrical compatibility.

Q: What is the difference between K680K15C0GF53L2 and K680J15C0GF53L2?

A: The primary difference is tolerance: K680K15C0GF53L2 has ±10% tolerance while K680J15C0GF53L2 has ±5% tolerance. All other electrical parameters, voltage rating, temperature coefficient, and lead spacing are identical. Both have the same physical dimensions (4.00mm x 2.60mm).

Q: Are there any compatibility issues with PCB layout when using substitute parts?

A: The substitute parts have larger physical dimensions than the original K680K10C0GF53L2. K680K15C0GF53L2 and K680J15C0GF53L2 measure 0.157" L x 0.102" W (4.00mm x 2.60mm) compared to the original 0.142" L x 0.091" W (3.60mm x 2.30mm). Lead spacing remains constant at 0.098" (2.50mm) for all parts. Verify available PCB space before substitution.

Q: Do all substitute parts meet the same compliance standards?

A: Yes. K680K10C0GF53L2, K680K15C0GF53L2, and K680J15C0GF53L2 are all ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, with identical ECCN (EAR99) and HTSUS (8532.24.0060) classifications.

Q: Which substitute should be selected for improved circuit performance?

A: K680J15C0GF53L2 with ±5% tolerance provides tighter capacitance accuracy compared to the ±10% tolerance of the original part and K680K15C0GF53L2. Selection depends on circuit requirements for capacitance precision and available board space for the slightly larger package dimensions.
