Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the MC22FF161D-F is permissible when the replacement component maintains the same capacitance value (160 pF), voltage rating (1 kV), dielectric material (mica), package footprint (2220/5750 Metric), and mounting type (surface mount).

The critical parameters determining substitutability are:

• Capacitance: 160 pF (exact match required)
• Voltage Rating: 1 kV (minimum requirement)
• Dielectric Type: Mica
• Package: 2220 (5750 Metric)
• Mounting Type: Surface Mount
• Operating Temperature Range: -55°C ~ 125°C

Tolerance variations are permissible when circuit design allows for the specified tolerance. The MC22FF161D-F carries a ±0.5% tolerance specification, which represents the tightest tolerance available in this product family.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the MC22FF161D-F and MC22FF161J-F maintain active product status with full production support from Cornell Dubilier Electronics. Both components are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, meeting current environmental and regulatory requirements for electronic component manufacturing and distribution.

The primary difference between these parts is tolerance specification. The MC22FF161D-F provides ±0.5% tolerance, suitable for precision RF applications where tight capacitance control is required. The MC22FF161J-F provides ±5% tolerance, suitable for general-purpose RF applications where tolerance flexibility exists within the circuit design.

Selection between these parts depends on circuit tolerance requirements and availability. Both parts are electrically and mechanically interchangeable when tolerance requirements are compatible.
