K680K15C0GF53K2 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The K680K15C0GF53K2 is a 68 pF ceramic capacitor rated at 50V with C0G/NP0 temperature coefficient, manufactured by Vishay Beyschlag/Draloric/BC Components as part of the Mono-Kap™ K series. This radial through-hole component is classified as Active product status and is designed for general-purpose applications requiring stable capacitance across the operating temperature range of -55°C to 125°C. Substitute parts are identified when inventory constraints, lead time requirements, or specific mechanical packaging needs necessitate alternative sourcing while maintaining electrical performance within the specified parameters.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the K680K15C0GF53K2 is determined by the following critical parameters: capacitance value (68 pF), temperature coefficient (C0G/NP0), operating temperature range (-55°C to 125°C), mounting type (through hole radial), and lead spacing (2.50mm). Voltage rating may be equal or higher than the specified 50V. Tolerance may be equal or tighter than ±10%. Lead style (kinked versus straight) and height-seated dimensions represent mechanical variations that do not affect electrical substitutability. The identified substitute parts maintain all core electrical specifications while offering variations in tolerance grade, voltage rating, and physical lead configuration.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

K680K15C0GF53L2 serves as a direct electrical equivalent with identical capacitance, tolerance, voltage rating, and temperature coefficient. The primary difference is lead configuration (straight versus kinked) and reduced seated height (5.60mm versus 7.50mm), making it suitable for space-constrained applications. Both Vishay parts maintain ROHS3 compliance and Active product status.

K680J15C0GF53L2 provides upgraded tolerance performance (±5% versus ±10%) while maintaining all other electrical specifications. This part is appropriate when tighter capacitance tolerance is required. Seated height is identical to K680K15C0GF53L2 at 5.60mm.

SR151A680JAR from KYOCERA AVX offers the highest voltage rating (100V versus 50V) with ±5% tolerance and the most compact form factor (3.81mm seated height). Lead spacing is 2.54mm, representing a 0.04mm deviation from the main part. This substitute is suitable for applications requiring voltage derating margin or space optimization. All parts maintain ROHS3 compliance and Active status.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can K680K15C0GF53L2 replace K680K15C0GF53K2 directly?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical electrical specifications: 68 pF capacitance, ±10% tolerance, 50V rating, and C0G/NP0 temperature coefficient. The difference is mechanical: K680K15C0GF53L2 features straight leads and 5.60mm seated height compared to kinked leads and 7.50mm seated height on the main part. PCB layout compatibility depends on lead spacing (both 2.50mm) and hole positioning.

Q: What is the difference between K680J15C0GF53L2 and K680K15C0GF53K2?

A: K680J15C0GF53L2 provides tighter tolerance (±5% versus ±10%) and straight leads with 5.60mm seated height. Electrical performance is equivalent: 68 pF, 50V, C0G/NP0. The tolerance upgrade may be required for precision circuits where capacitance variation must be minimized.

Q: Is SR151A680JAR compatible with the original part?

A: SR151A680JAR is electrically compatible with equivalent capacitance (68 pF), temperature coefficient (C0G/NP0), and operating range (-55°C to 125°C). It offers higher voltage rating (100V) and tighter tolerance (±5%). Lead spacing is 2.54mm versus 2.50mm on the main part, a 0.04mm difference that may require PCB layout verification. Seated height is significantly lower at 3.81mm, suitable for compact designs.

Q: Are all substitute parts ROHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. K680K15C0GF53L2, K680J15C0GF53L2, and SR151A680JAR are all ROHS3 compliant with Active product status.

Q: Which substitute offers the best space efficiency?

A: SR151A680JAR provides the most compact form factor with 3.81mm seated height and 3.81mm length, compared to 7.50mm height on the main part and 5.60mm on the other Vishay substitutes. Lead spacing tolerance of 0.04mm should be verified against PCB design specifications.
