SA055C104MAR Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The SA055C104MAR is a 0.1 µF ±20% 50V ceramic capacitor with X7R temperature coefficient in axial through-hole configuration, manufactured by KYOCERA AVX under the SpinGuard® SA series. This component is Active status and ROHS3 compliant. Substitute parts are identified when equivalent electrical specifications and mechanical compatibility are maintained across the allowed parameter range for axial ceramic capacitors in this category.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution validity for the SA055C104MAR is determined by strict equivalence in the following parameters:

• Capacitance: 0.1 µF (exact match required)
• Tolerance: ±20% (exact match required)
• Voltage Rating: 50V (exact match required)
• Temperature Coefficient: X7R (exact match required)
• Operating Temperature: -55°C ~ 125°C (exact match required)
• Mounting Type: Through Hole (exact match required)
• Package / Case: Axial (exact match required)
• Lead Style: Straight (exact match required)

All identified substitute parts meet these criteria. Physical dimensions and packaging format (Tape & Reel, Cut Tape, or Bulk) do not affect electrical substitutability but may impact procurement and assembly workflows.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All substitute parts maintain Active product status and full compliance with ROHS3 and REACH requirements. Selection between SA055C104MAR and its substitutes should be based on:

1. Packaging format availability: SA055C104MAR is supplied in Tape & Reel format; SA205C104MAR and C420C104M5R5TA are available in Cut Tape and Bulk formats respectively; A104M15X7RF5TAA is available in Cut Tape format.

2. Physical dimensions: While all parts are electrically equivalent, physical size varies. SA055C104MAR (2.30mm x 3.00mm) is the most compact; A104M15X7RF5TAA (2.50mm x 3.80mm) is intermediate; SA205C104MAR and C420C104M5R5TA (2.54mm x 6.60mm) are the largest. PCB layout constraints may influence selection.

3. Manufacturer availability: KYOCERA AVX parts (SA055C104MAR, SA205C104MAR) offer same-manufacturer continuity; Vishay and KEMET alternatives provide multi-source supply chain resilience.

4. Inventory status: All parts are in stock. Selection may be influenced by procurement lead times and cost considerations specific to your supply chain.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can SA205C104MAR replace SA055C104MAR in my circuit?

A: Yes. Both parts are electrically identical with 0.1 µF capacitance, ±20% tolerance, 50V rating, and X7R temperature coefficient. The primary difference is physical size (SA205C104MAR is larger) and packaging format (Cut Tape vs. Tape & Reel). Verify PCB layout accommodates the larger dimensions before substitution.

Q: What is the difference between the substitute parts?

A: All substitute parts (SA205C104MAR, A104M15X7RF5TAA, C420C104M5R5TA) are electrically equivalent to SA055C104MAR. Differences are limited to manufacturer, physical dimensions, packaging format, and series designation. Electrical performance and compliance certifications are identical.

Q: Are there any restrictions on using KEMET C420C104M5R5TA as a substitute?

A: No electrical restrictions exist. C420C104M5R5TA meets all electrical and compliance requirements. It is supplied in Bulk packaging rather than Tape & Reel or Cut Tape, which may affect assembly workflow. Physical dimensions (2.54mm x 6.60mm) are larger than the original part.

Q: Does packaging format affect electrical performance?

A: No. Tape & Reel, Cut Tape, and Bulk packaging formats do not affect component electrical characteristics. Packaging selection is determined by procurement, storage, and assembly process requirements.

Q: Can I use these substitutes in high-temperature applications?

A: Yes. All substitute parts maintain the same operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 125°C) and X7R temperature coefficient as the original SA055C104MAR, ensuring stable capacitance across the full temperature range.

Q: Are all substitute parts RoHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. SA205C104MAR, A104M15X7RF5TAA, and C420C104M5R5TA are all ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, matching the compliance status of SA055C104MAR.
