Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the LT036D225MAT2S is determined by strict adherence to the following electrical and mechanical parameters:

Primary Substitution Criteria:

• Capacitance value: 2.2 µF (exact match required)
• Package / Case: 0603 (1608 Metric) (exact match required)
• Mounting Type: Surface Mount, MLCC (exact match required)
• Voltage Rating: 6.3V minimum (equal or higher voltage ratings are acceptable)
• Temperature Coefficient: X5R or X6S (both provide stable performance across -55°C to 85°C)
• Tolerance: ±20% or ±10% (tighter tolerance acceptable)
• RoHS Status: ROHS3 Compliant (mandatory)
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: 1 (Unlimited) (mandatory)

Substitute Categories:

Direct Equivalent (Same Electrical Specifications):

• C0603C225M9PAC7867 (KEMET): Identical 2.2 µF, 6.3V, ±20%, X5R specifications with different manufacturer

Upgrade Substitutes (Higher Voltage Rating):

• CGB3B1X5R1C225K055AC (TDK): 2.2 µF, 16V, ±10%, X5R (higher voltage, tighter tolerance)
• CGB3B1X5R1C225M055AC (TDK): 2.2 µF, 16V, ±20%, X5R (higher voltage, same tolerance)
• CGB3B3X5R1A225K055AB (TDK): 2.2 µF, 10V, ±10%, X5R (higher voltage, tighter tolerance, Cut Tape packaging)

Manufacturer Recommended Substitutes (Extended Temperature Range):

• CGB3B1X6S1A225K055AC (TDK): 2.2 µF, 10V, ±10%, X6S, -55°C ~ 105°C (extended upper temperature limit)
• CGB3B1X6S1A225M055AC (TDK): 2.2 µF, 10V, ±20%, X6S, -55°C ~ 105°C (extended upper temperature limit)
• CGB3B3X6S0J225K055AB (TDK): 2.2 µF, 6.3V, ±10%, X6S, -55°C ~ 105°C (same voltage, extended temperature range)
• CGB3B3X6S0J225M055AB (TDK): 2.2 µF, 6.3V, ±20%, X6S, -55°C ~ 105°C (same voltage, extended temperature range)

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

For Direct Replacement (No Design Changes Required): Select C0603C225M9PAC7867 (KEMET) when the original LT036D225MAT2S is unavailable. This part maintains identical electrical specifications, package format, and operating temperature range. Both components are ROHS3 compliant with MSL 1 rating, ensuring compatibility with existing assembly processes and environmental requirements.

For Designs Requiring Higher Voltage Margin: CGB3B1X5R1C225K055AC or CGB3B1X5R1C225M055AC (TDK, 16V rating) provide increased voltage headroom while maintaining the same 0603 package and X5R temperature coefficient. These parts are suitable for circuits where voltage stress margins must be increased. Note that these parts are marked as obsolete; verify availability before design implementation.

For Designs Requiring Extended Temperature Performance: CGB3B3X6S0J225K055AB or CGB3B3X6S0J225M055AB (TDK, X6S coefficient, -55°C ~ 105°C) maintain the original 6.3V rating while extending the upper operating temperature limit to 105°C. The X6S temperature coefficient provides superior stability at elevated temperatures compared to X5R. These parts require Cut Tape packaging format; verify compatibility with automated assembly equipment.

All substitute parts listed maintain ROHS3 compliance and MSL 1 moisture sensitivity rating, ensuring regulatory and manufacturing process compatibility with the original component.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can I use a substitute part with a higher voltage rating than the original 6.3V specification?

A: Yes. Higher voltage-rated capacitors (10V, 16V) are electrically compatible substitutes for the 6.3V LT036D225MAT2S. The circuit will operate normally, as the capacitor will experience lower stress. Voltage derating improves reliability and component lifespan. Verify that the substitute part maintains the same 0603 package format and capacitance value.

Q: What is the difference between X5R and X6S temperature coefficients?

A: Both X5R and X6S are stable temperature coefficients suitable for the -55°C to 85°C operating range of the original part. X5R specifies capacitance change of ±15% across -55°C to 85°C. X6S specifies capacitance change of ±15% across -55°C to 105°C, providing extended upper temperature operation. X6S substitutes are appropriate when circuits require operation above 85°C.

Q: Are Cut Tape (CT) packaged parts compatible with Tape & Reel (TR) assembly processes?

A: Cut Tape and Tape & Reel formats are different packaging presentations of the same component. Tape & Reel is continuous reel format suitable for high-speed automated pick-and-place assembly. Cut Tape is pre-cut sections suitable for manual or lower-volume assembly. Verify that your assembly equipment supports the packaging format of the substitute part before implementation.

Q: Why are some substitute parts marked as "Obsolete"?

A: Product status reflects manufacturer production status at the time of data compilation. Obsolete parts may still be available from inventory or authorized distributors but are no longer in active production. Verify current availability and lead times with component suppliers before committing to designs using obsolete parts.

Q: Can I substitute a ±10% tolerance part for the original ±20% tolerance part?

A: Yes. Tighter tolerance (±10%) is a direct upgrade from the original ±20% tolerance specification. The ±10% tolerance part will provide more precise capacitance values, which may improve circuit performance in applications sensitive to capacitance variation. No design changes are required.

Q: Are all listed substitute parts ROHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. All substitute parts listed in this document are ROHS3 compliant with MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity rating, matching the environmental and regulatory compliance of the original LT036D225MAT2S component.
