M15G101K2-F Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The M15G101K2-F is a 100 pF ceramic capacitor rated at 200V with C0G/NP0 temperature coefficient, manufactured by Cornell Dubilier Electronics (CDE) in the M15 series. This component is classified as obsolete, though 923 pieces remain in stock as new original inventory. The part is designed for general-purpose applications requiring stable capacitance across the operating temperature range of -55°C to 125°C.

Due to the obsolete status of the M15G101K2-F, identification of equivalent and substitute parts is necessary for ongoing production support, design updates, and long-term component availability assurance. Active alternative products from current manufacturers provide equivalent electrical performance with improved availability and compliance certifications.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Direct Equivalent Selection:

The KYOCERA AVX SkyCap® SR series parts (SR072A101KAA, SR072A101KARTR1, SR072A101KAT, SR152A101KAA, SR152A101KAR, SR152A101KAT) provide direct electrical equivalence to the M15G101K2-F with active product status. These components maintain 100 pF capacitance, ±10% tolerance, 200V rating, and C0G/NP0 temperature coefficient across the full -55°C to 125°C operating range. All parts are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected. Selection among these variants depends on packaging requirements (bulk versus tape & reel) and lead configuration (straight versus kinked formed leads).

The Vishay Beyschlag K101K15C0GK53L2 offers equivalent electrical specifications with active product status and ROHS3 compliance. Minor dimensional variations exist in lead spacing (0.098" versus 0.100") and height (0.220" versus 0.270"), which may require PCB layout verification for existing designs.

Upgrade Option Selection:

The KEMET GoldMax 300 Comm C0G series (C315C101FAG5TA, C315C101GAG5TA, C315C101J2G5TA) provides enhanced specifications suitable for applications where improved tolerance or higher voltage margins are beneficial. The C315C101FAG5TA and C315C101GAG5TA offer 250V ratings with tighter tolerances (±1% and ±2% respectively), while the C315C101J2G5TA maintains the 200V rating with ±5% tolerance. All upgrade options feature low ESL characteristics and are ROHS3 compliant with active product status.

Compliance and Availability:

All substitute and upgrade parts maintain ROHS3 compliance, meeting regulatory requirements for restricted substances. Active product status across all recommended alternatives ensures long-term availability and supply chain stability compared to the obsolete M15G101K2-F.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the K101K15C0GK53L2 be used as a direct replacement for the M15G101K2-F?

A: The K101K15C0GK53L2 provides electrical equivalence with identical capacitance (100 pF), tolerance (±10%), voltage (200V), and temperature coefficient (C0G/NP0). However, the lead spacing differs slightly (0.098" versus 0.100") and the seated height is lower (0.220" versus 0.270"). PCB layout compatibility must be verified before substitution.

Q: What is the difference between the SR072A101KAA and SR152A101KAA variants?

A: Both parts are KYOCERA AVX SkyCap® SR series with identical electrical specifications. The primary difference is the seated height: SR072A101KAA has a maximum height of 0.100" (2.54mm), while SR152A101KAA has a maximum height of 0.150" (3.81mm). Selection depends on available vertical clearance in the PCB assembly.

Q: Are the KEMET C315C101 series parts suitable replacements for the M15G101K2-F?

A: The KEMET C315C101 series parts are suitable as upgrades when enhanced specifications are acceptable. The C315C101J2G5TA maintains the 200V rating with ±5% tolerance, while the C315C101FAG5TA and C315C101GAG5TA offer 250V ratings with tighter tolerances (±1% and ±2%). All maintain the 100 pF capacitance and C0G/NP0 temperature coefficient. The 0.183" seated height differs from the original 0.270", requiring PCB layout verification.

Q: What does the packaging designation "Tape & Reel (TR)" mean for the SR072A101KARTR1?

A: Tape & Reel packaging indicates the component is supplied on continuous tape wound on a reel, suitable for automated assembly equipment. This differs from bulk packaging, which supplies loose components. Selection depends on manufacturing process requirements and assembly equipment compatibility.

Q: Are all substitute parts ROHS3 compliant?

A: Yes, all substitute and upgrade parts listed are ROHS3 compliant, meeting regulatory requirements for restricted substances in electrical and electronic equipment.

Q: Can I use a 250V rated capacitor in place of a 200V rated capacitor?

A: Yes, a higher voltage rating is electrically compatible with circuits designed for lower voltage ratings. The KEMET C315C101FAG5TA and C315C101GAG5TA (250V) can be used in applications originally specified for 200V, as they provide additional voltage margin and improved safety.

Q: What is the significance of the C0G/NP0 temperature coefficient?

A: C0G/NP0 indicates minimal capacitance change across the operating temperature range (-55°C to 125°C), making these components suitable for applications requiring stable capacitance performance. This specification is maintained across all substitute and upgrade options.
