Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the MIN02-002C060A-F is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Electrical Parameters (Non-Negotiable):

• Capacitance value: 6 pF
• Tolerance: ±1 pF
• Voltage rating: 300 V minimum
• Operating temperature range: -55°C to 200°C minimum

Mechanical Parameters (Non-Negotiable):

• Mounting type: Surface Mount
• Package / Case: Nonstandard SMD
• Physical dimensions: 0.218" L x 0.400" W (5.54 mm x 10.16 mm)

Compliance Parameters:

• RoHS3 compliance required
• MSL rating: 1 (Unlimited)

The dielectric material (PTFE vs. Mica) represents a functional variation within the RF/high-frequency capacitor category. Both materials satisfy the electrical and mechanical requirements while maintaining RF performance characteristics appropriate for the application class.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The MIN02-002CC060A-F serves as a direct functional equivalent to the MIN02-002C060A-F based on electrical and mechanical parameter alignment. Both components satisfy identical capacitance, voltage, temperature, and dimensional specifications within the RF/high-frequency capacitor classification.

Primary Advantage of MIN02-002CC060A-F: The substitute part maintains active product status with confirmed inventory availability (1152 pcs), whereas the original part is discontinued. Both components carry ROHS3 compliance and unlimited moisture sensitivity rating, ensuring regulatory and environmental compatibility.

Dielectric Material Consideration: The substitution involves a change from PTFE to Mica dielectric. Both materials are established in RF applications and maintain the specified electrical performance envelope. The selection between these materials depends on application-specific requirements not provided in the parameter set. Both options satisfy the stated RF and high-frequency feature requirements.

Packaging Availability: The substitute part is available in Tape & Reel (TR) packaging, providing standard production-line handling compatibility for surface mount assembly operations.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can MIN02-002CC060A-F replace MIN02-002C060A-F in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both components share identical electrical specifications (6 pF, ±1 pF tolerance, 300 V rating), operating temperature range (-55°C to 200°C), physical dimensions (0.218" L x 0.400" W), and surface mount configuration. Mechanical and electrical compatibility is established.

Q: What is the difference between PTFE and Mica dielectric materials in this application?

A: Both PTFE and Mica are established dielectric materials for RF and high-frequency capacitors. The parameter set provided does not include application-specific performance criteria that would differentiate these materials. Both satisfy the RF/high-frequency feature classification and maintain the specified electrical performance envelope.

Q: Are there compliance differences between the two parts?

A: No. Both MIN02-002C060A-F and MIN02-002CC060A-F carry ROHS3 compliance, MSL rating of 1 (Unlimited), and REACH Unaffected status. Regulatory and environmental compliance is equivalent.

Q: What is the significance of the product status difference?

A: MIN02-002C060A-F is discontinued at DiGi Electronics, while MIN02-002CC060A-F maintains active product status with confirmed inventory. For new designs or production continuity, the active substitute part is the appropriate selection.

Q: Does packaging format affect electrical performance?

A: No. Tape & Reel (TR) packaging is a handling and logistics format for surface mount components. It does not alter electrical characteristics, performance, or compatibility with assembly equipment designed for standard SMD packages.

Q: Are both parts from the same manufacturer?

A: Yes. Both MIN02-002C060A-F and MIN02-002CC060A-F are manufactured by Cornell Dubilier Electronics (CDE) within the MIN series, ensuring design consistency and quality standards alignment.
