Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the LD031C152KAB4A is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Capacitance value: 1500 pF
• Tolerance: ±10%
• Voltage rating: 100V
• Temperature coefficient: X7R
• Operating temperature range: -55°C to 125°C
• Package / Case: 0603 (1608 Metric)
• Mounting type: Surface Mount, MLCC
• Physical dimensions: 0.063" L x 0.032" W (1.60mm x 0.81mm)
• Thickness: 0.035" (0.90mm) maximum
• Moisture sensitivity level: 1 (Unlimited)

The identified substitute part LD031C152KAB2A maintains complete electrical and mechanical equivalence. The only difference between the main part and substitute is the packaging format: the main part uses standard packaging while the substitute is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) format. This packaging difference does not affect component performance, electrical characteristics, or physical compatibility in circuit applications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both LD031C152KAB4A and LD031C152KAB2A are active production parts from KYOCERA AVX with identical electrical performance and mechanical compatibility. Selection between these parts should be based on packaging requirements and inventory availability:

The LD031C152KAB4A is suitable for applications where standard packaging is specified or preferred. With 811 pieces in stock, it provides immediate availability for moderate volume requirements.

The LD031C152KAB2A in Tape & Reel format is appropriate for high-volume automated assembly operations where reel-based component feeding is standard. The significantly higher inventory level of 6000 pieces supports larger production runs and provides extended supply continuity.

Both parts carry identical RoHS non-compliant and REACH Affected designations, with the same ECCN (EAR99) and HTSUS (8532.24.0020) classifications. No compliance or regulatory differences exist between the two options.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can LD031C152KAB2A be used as a direct replacement for LD031C152KAB4A?

A: Yes. Both parts are electrically and mechanically identical. The only difference is packaging format. LD031C152KAB2A is supplied in Tape & Reel format while LD031C152KAB4A uses standard packaging. This does not affect circuit performance or physical fit.

Q: What does the X7R temperature coefficient mean?

A: X7R indicates the capacitance change over temperature follows a specific standard. For this part, capacitance remains stable across the -55°C to 125°C operating range, making it suitable for applications requiring consistent performance across wide temperature variations.

Q: Are there any differences in moisture sensitivity between these parts?

A: No. Both parts have Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 (Unlimited), indicating they do not require special moisture control during storage or handling.

Q: Which part should I select for automated assembly?

A: LD031C152KAB2A in Tape & Reel format is designed for automated pick-and-place assembly systems. Standard packaging of LD031C152KAB4A is suitable for manual assembly or lower-volume operations.

Q: Do both parts meet the same compliance standards?

A: Yes. Both parts carry identical RoHS non-compliant and REACH Affected designations. They share the same ECCN and HTSUS classifications.
