Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the MIN02-002C100A-TF is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Mandatory Matching Parameters:

• Capacitance value: 10 pF
• Capacitance tolerance: ±1 pF
• Voltage rating: 300 V minimum
• Mounting type: Surface Mount
• Package dimensions: 0.218" L × 0.400" W (5.54 mm × 10.16 mm)
• Operating temperature range: -55°C to 200°C minimum
• Application suitability: RF and high-frequency operation

Acceptable Variation:

• Dielectric material: Alternative dielectric materials (Mica, ceramic, or other) are acceptable provided all electrical and mechanical parameters remain equivalent
• Packaging format: Tape & Reel or alternative packaging formats are acceptable
• Product status: Active or obsolete status does not affect substitution eligibility

The MIN02-002CC100A-TF meets all mandatory matching parameters and qualifies as a direct substitute despite dielectric material difference (Mica versus PTFE).

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The MIN02-002CC100A-TF qualifies as a direct functional substitute for the MIN02-002C100A-TF based on complete electrical and mechanical parameter equivalence. Selection between these parts should be based on the following factors:

Product Status Consideration: The MIN02-002CC100A-TF carries Active product status, ensuring continued availability and manufacturing support. The obsolete status of the main part necessitates transition to the substitute for long-term supply chain reliability.

Compliance Alignment: Both parts maintain ROHS3 compliance and identical moisture sensitivity ratings, ensuring regulatory and environmental compatibility in existing applications.

Packaging Availability: The substitute part is available in Tape & Reel format, which is standard for high-volume production environments and automated assembly processes.

Dielectric Material Difference: While the substitute employs Mica dielectric instead of PTFE, both materials deliver equivalent electrical performance at the specified capacitance, voltage, and frequency parameters. This substitution does not introduce performance degradation for RF and high-frequency circuit applications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can MIN02-002CC100A-TF replace MIN02-002C100A-TF in existing designs?

A: Yes. The substitute part meets all electrical specifications (10 pF capacitance, ±1 pF tolerance, 300 V rating) and mechanical requirements (surface mount, identical package dimensions, -55°C to 200°C operating range). Direct substitution is supported without circuit redesign.

Q: What is the significance of the dielectric material difference?

A: The main part uses PTFE dielectric while the substitute uses Mica. Both materials provide stable capacitance performance across the operating temperature range and frequency spectrum required for RF and high-frequency applications. The electrical performance remains equivalent at the specified parameters.

Q: Why is the main part listed as obsolete?

A: Obsolete status indicates the part is no longer manufactured. The MIN02-002CC100A-TF, with Active status, represents the current production equivalent and ensures ongoing supply availability.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these parts?

A: The main part uses standard packaging while the substitute is supplied in Tape & Reel format. Both maintain identical physical dimensions (0.218" L × 0.400" W) and nonstandard SMD package configuration, ensuring mechanical compatibility in PCB assembly.

Q: Do both parts meet the same compliance standards?

A: Yes. Both parts are ROHS3 compliant with MSL rating of 1 (Unlimited), ensuring equivalent environmental and regulatory compliance for applications requiring these certifications.
