MC22FD501F-F Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The MC22FD501F-F is a 500 pF mica capacitor manufactured by Cornell Dubilier Electronics (CDE), rated for 500 V operation in a 2220 (5750 Metric) surface mount package. This component is classified as Active and is ROHS3 Compliant. Mica capacitors in this specification are used in RF applications requiring high Q factor and low loss characteristics across the operating temperature range of -55°C to 125°C.

Substitute parts are identified when equivalent electrical performance can be maintained within the allowed parameter tolerances for the application, while maintaining identical mechanical compatibility and environmental compliance.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the MC22FD501F-F is determined by strict adherence to the following parameters:

Critical Parameters (Must Match Exactly):

• Capacitance: 500 pF
• Voltage Rating: 500 V
• Dielectric Material: Mica
• Package / Case: 2220 (5750 Metric)
• Mounting Type: Surface Mount
• Operating Temperature Range: -55°C ~ 125°C

Allowable Variation Parameter:

• Tolerance: The MC22FD501F-F specifies ±1% tolerance. Substitute parts with relaxed tolerance (±5%) are acceptable when circuit design permits wider capacitance variation.

The MC22FD501J-F meets all critical parameters and is classified as a direct substitute with the single distinction of ±5% tolerance instead of ±1%.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

MC22FD501F-F (±1% Tolerance): Select this part when circuit design requires tight capacitance tolerance control. Both the main part and substitute maintain Active product status and full ROHS3 compliance. Inventory availability is 824 pieces.

MC22FD501J-F (±5% Tolerance): Select this substitute when circuit design tolerates ±5% capacitance variation. This part is functionally equivalent in all electrical and mechanical parameters. Both parts are manufactured by the same supplier (CDE) within the same MC series. Inventory availability is 1193 pieces. The relaxed tolerance specification does not affect RF performance, high Q factor, or low loss characteristics. Both parts maintain identical MSL rating (1 - Unlimited) and environmental compliance certifications.

Selection between these parts depends solely on the tolerance requirement specified in the circuit design. No performance degradation occurs when substituting the ±5% tolerance variant in applications that permit this tolerance range.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can MC22FD501J-F replace MC22FD501F-F in all applications?

A: MC22FD501J-F can replace MC22FD501F-F only when the circuit design permits ±5% capacitance tolerance. If the design requires ±1% tolerance, substitution is not acceptable. Both parts are electrically and mechanically identical except for tolerance specification.

Q: Are there any physical differences between these parts?

A: No. Both parts share identical dimensions (0.224" L x 0.197" W / 5.70mm x 5.00mm), height (0.079" / 2.00mm), and 2220 (5750 Metric) package specification. PCB footprints are identical.

Q: Do both parts meet the same environmental and regulatory standards?

A: Yes. Both MC22FD501F-F and MC22FD501J-F are ROHS3 Compliant, REACH Unaffected, and classified as MSL 1 (Unlimited moisture sensitivity level). Both carry identical ECCN (EAR99) and HTSUS (8532.29.0020) classifications.

Q: What is the operating temperature range for both parts?

A: Both parts operate across -55°C to 125°C. This range is identical for MC22FD501F-F and MC22FD501J-F.

Q: Are both parts currently available?

A: Yes. Both parts maintain Active product status. MC22FD501F-F has 824 pieces in stock; MC22FD501J-F has 1193 pieces in stock.

Q: What applications are these mica capacitors designed for?

A: Both parts are specified for RF applications requiring high Q factor and low loss performance. The mica dielectric material provides stable capacitance across the full operating temperature range.
