Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the MKS4G021503C00KSSD is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Electrical Parameters:

• Capacitance value: 0.015 µF
• Tolerance: ±10%
• Voltage Rating - DC: 400V (minimum)
• Voltage Rating - AC: 200V (minimum)
• Dielectric material: Polyester, Polyethylene Terephthalate (PET), Metallized

Mechanical Parameters:

• Mounting type: Through Hole
• Package configuration: Radial
• Lead spacing: 0.394" (10.00mm)
• Termination style: PC Pins

Environmental & Compliance:

• Operating temperature range: -55°C to 125°C (minimum)
• Automotive qualification: AEC-Q200

All substitute parts must match these parameters exactly. No deviations in capacitance, voltage rating, dielectric material, lead spacing, or automotive compliance are permitted for functional interchangeability.

• Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL) 1 classification indicates unlimited shelf life without moisture control

Electrical Compatibility:

• 400V DC rating ensures operation in high-voltage DC link and filtering applications
• 200V AC rating supports dual-voltage circuit configurations
• ±10% tolerance is suitable for non-critical filtering applications where precise capacitance is not required

Mechanical Compatibility:

• Through-hole radial configuration with 10.00mm lead spacing ensures direct PCB mounting compatibility
• PC pin termination provides standard solder connection to printed circuit boards

Supply Chain Considerations:

• Active product status confirms ongoing manufacturer support and availability
• Bulk packaging accommodates production-volume requirements

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: What determines if a part can substitute for the MKS4G021503C00KSSD?

A: A substitute part must match all electrical parameters (0.015 µF capacitance, ±10% tolerance, 400V DC rating, 200V AC rating, polyester PET dielectric), mechanical specifications (through-hole radial package, 10.00mm lead spacing, PC pins), operating temperature range (-55°C to 125°C), and AEC-Q200 automotive qualification.

Q: Can I use a capacitor with higher voltage rating as a substitute?

A: Yes. A capacitor rated for 500V DC or higher can substitute for the 400V DC requirement, provided all other parameters remain identical. Higher voltage ratings do not affect circuit functionality in applications rated for 400V DC.

Q: Are lead spacing and package dimensions critical for substitution?

A: Yes. The 0.394" (10.00mm) lead spacing and radial through-hole configuration are mechanical requirements for PCB compatibility. Deviations in lead spacing or package type prevent direct board-level substitution.

Q: Does the AEC-Q200 rating affect substitution eligibility?

A: For automotive applications, AEC-Q200 qualification is mandatory. Substitute parts must carry identical automotive compliance ratings. Non-automotive-rated components are not interchangeable for automotive circuit applications.

Q: Can I substitute with a different dielectric material?

A: No. The polyester PET metallized dielectric is specified for this application. Substitution with ceramic, film, or other dielectric materials is not permitted, as dielectric properties affect circuit performance and reliability.

Q: What is the significance of the MKS 4 series designation?

A: The MKS 4 series identifies the product family and manufacturing specifications. Substitute parts must belong to the same series to ensure consistency in construction, performance characteristics, and reliability standards.
