Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the MIN02-002C6R8D-F is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Mandatory Matching Parameters:

• Capacitance value: 6.8 pF
• Voltage rating: 300 V minimum
• Mounting type: Surface mount
• Physical dimensions: 0.218" L x 0.400" W (5.54mm x 10.16mm)
• Operating temperature range: -55°C to 200°C minimum
• Tolerance: ±0.5pF or tighter
• RF/High-frequency application suitability

The substitute part MIN02-002CC6R8D-F meets all mandatory parameters while utilizing Mica as the dielectric material instead of PTFE. Both materials are suitable for RF and high-frequency applications and maintain equivalent electrical performance within the specified operating conditions. The substitute part is currently in active production status, providing improved supply availability compared to the obsolete main part.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The MIN02-002CC6R8D-F is a direct functional equivalent for the obsolete MIN02-002C6R8D-F based on the following engineering criteria:

Electrical Equivalence: Both parts deliver identical capacitance (6.8 pF), voltage rating (300 V), and operating temperature range (-55°C to 200°C). The tolerance specifications are equivalent: the main part specifies ±0.5pF absolute tolerance, while the substitute specifies ±0.5% relative tolerance, which at 6.8 pF equals approximately ±0.034pF, representing tighter tolerance performance.

Physical Compatibility: Identical package dimensions (0.218" L x 0.400" W) and nonstandard SMD mounting configuration ensure direct PCB footprint compatibility without layout modifications.

Regulatory Compliance: Both parts maintain ROHS3 compliance and unlimited moisture sensitivity level (MSL 1), satisfying environmental and reliability requirements for production and field deployment.

Supply Status: The substitute part is in active production with 1798 units in stock, compared to 766 units of the obsolete main part. Selection of the active part ensures long-term supply continuity and reduces obsolescence risk.

Dielectric Material Consideration: While the main part uses PTFE dielectric and the substitute uses Mica, both materials are established for RF and high-frequency applications. The material difference does not affect the specified electrical parameters or operating conditions for this application category.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can MIN02-002CC6R8D-F replace MIN02-002C6R8D-F in existing designs?

A: Yes. The substitute part meets all mandatory electrical and physical parameters: identical 6.8 pF capacitance, 300 V voltage rating, -55°C to 200°C operating range, and matching nonstandard SMD package dimensions. No PCB modifications are required.

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

A: Both PTFE and Mica are suitable for RF and high-frequency applications. The substitute part uses Mica dielectric instead of PTFE. Both materials maintain stable capacitance across the specified operating temperature range and voltage conditions. The electrical performance within the stated parameters is equivalent.

Q: Are the tolerance specifications equivalent between the two parts?

A: Yes. The main part specifies ±0.5pF absolute tolerance. The substitute specifies ±0.5% relative tolerance, which at 6.8 pF equals approximately ±0.034pF. The substitute tolerance is tighter and therefore equivalent or superior for circuit design purposes.

Q: Does the substitute part meet the same compliance requirements?

A: Yes. Both parts are ROHS3 compliant, REACH unaffected, and classified as MSL 1 (unlimited moisture sensitivity). Regulatory and environmental requirements are identical.

Q: Why is the main part classified as obsolete?

A: The MIN02-002C6R8D-F is listed as obsolete by the manufacturer. The MIN02-002CC6R8D-F is the active production equivalent, ensuring continued availability and supply chain stability.

Q: Can these parts be used interchangeably in high-frequency RF circuits?

A: Yes. Both parts are rated for RF and high-frequency applications and maintain equivalent electrical performance across the specified operating conditions. Physical dimensions and mounting configuration are identical, supporting direct substitution.
