Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the MIN02-002C060A-TF is determined by the following critical parameters:

Electrical Parameters: Capacitance value (6 pF), tolerance (±1 pF), and rated voltage (300 V) must be maintained. The operating temperature range (-55°C to 200°C) establishes the thermal envelope for acceptable alternatives.

Mechanical Parameters: The nonstandard SMD package dimensions (0.218" L x 0.400" W / 5.54 mm x 10.16 mm) and surface mount mounting type are fixed requirements for PCB compatibility.

Functional Parameters: RF and high-frequency application designation indicates the component must support these performance characteristics.

Compliance Parameters: ROHS3 compliance and MSL 1 rating are mandatory for regulatory and manufacturing process compatibility.

The identified substitute part MIN02-002CC060A-TF satisfies all critical electrical, mechanical, and compliance parameters. The primary distinction is the dielectric material change from PTFE to mica, which remains acceptable within the specified electrical and thermal operating envelope.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The MIN02-002CC060A-TF is a direct substitute for the obsolete MIN02-002C060A-TF based on the following engineering criteria:

Electrical Compatibility: Both parts maintain identical capacitance (6 pF), tolerance (±1 pF), and voltage rating (300 V). The operating temperature range is identical (-55°C to 200°C), ensuring thermal compatibility in all specified applications.

Mechanical Compatibility: Both components share the same nonstandard SMD package dimensions and surface mount configuration, enabling direct PCB footprint compatibility without layout modifications.

Regulatory Compliance: Both parts are ROHS3 compliant with MSL 1 rating, satisfying manufacturing and environmental requirements.

Product Status Advantage: The substitute part MIN02-002CC060A-TF is classified as active, ensuring long-term availability and supply chain continuity compared to the obsolete main part.

Packaging Consideration: The substitute is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) format, which is standard for automated assembly processes and provides improved handling compared to bulk packaging.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can MIN02-002CC060A-TF directly replace MIN02-002C060A-TF on existing PCBs?

A: Yes. Both components have identical package dimensions (0.218" L x 0.400" W / 5.54 mm x 10.16 mm) and surface mount configuration. No PCB layout modifications are required.

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

A: Both dielectric materials are suitable for RF and high-frequency applications. The electrical specifications (capacitance, tolerance, voltage rating, and temperature range) are identical for both parts, ensuring functional equivalence within the specified operating envelope.

Q: Are there any compliance or certification differences between the two parts?

A: No. Both parts are ROHS3 compliant with MSL 1 rating. Compliance certifications are identical.

Q: Why is the substitute part listed as active while the main part is obsolete?

A: The MIN02-002CC060A-TF is actively manufactured and stocked, providing reliable long-term availability. The MIN02-002C060A-TF has been discontinued by the manufacturer.

Q: Does the packaging format (Tape & Reel vs. Bulk) affect electrical performance?

A: No. Packaging format affects only handling, storage, and assembly processes. Electrical and mechanical performance are identical regardless of packaging format.

Q: Are both parts suitable for high-frequency RF circuits?

A: Yes. Both components are designated for RF and high-frequency applications and maintain the same performance characteristics across the specified operating temperature range.
