SA101C102MARC Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The SA101C102MARC is a 1000 pF ceramic capacitor rated at 100V with X7R temperature coefficient, manufactured by KYOCERA AVX in the SpinGuard® SA series. This axial through-hole component is designed for general-purpose applications and is currently active in production. Substitute parts are identified when equivalent electrical specifications and mechanical compatibility are maintained across the allowed parameter range.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility is determined by strict equivalence in the following parameters:

• Capacitance value: 1000 pF (exact match required)
• Voltage rating: 100V (exact match required)
• Temperature coefficient: X7R (exact match required)
• Operating temperature range: -55°C to 125°C (exact match required)
• Mounting type: Through Hole (exact match required)
• Package / Case: Axial (exact match required)
• Physical dimensions: 0.100" Dia x 0.170" L (exact match required)
• Lead style: Straight (exact match required)
• RoHS compliance: ROHS3 Compliant (exact match required)

Tolerance variation (±20% to ±10%) is permitted within the substitute group, as tighter tolerance represents improved specification. Both identified substitutes meet all mandatory equivalence criteria.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All three parts maintain active production status and ROHS3 compliance. The SA101C102MARC and SA101C102KAR are both KYOCERA AVX components within the same SpinGuard® SA series, with SA101C102KAR offering improved tolerance specification (±10% versus ±20%). The C410C102K1R5TA7200 is a KEMET alternative from the AxiMax 400 Comm X7R series, providing equivalent electrical and mechanical specifications with ±10% tolerance. Selection between these parts depends on procurement availability, packaging requirements (Tape & Box versus Cut Tape), and manufacturer preference within your supply chain.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can SA101C102KAR replace SA101C102MARC in existing designs?

A: Yes. SA101C102KAR is electrically and mechanically equivalent with identical capacitance, voltage rating, temperature coefficient, operating range, and physical dimensions. The tighter tolerance (±10% versus ±20%) represents an upgrade in specification accuracy.

Q: What is the difference between the KYOCERA AVX and KEMET substitutes?

A: Both SA101C102KAR and C410C102K1R5TA7200 meet all electrical and mechanical equivalence requirements. The primary differences are manufacturer (KYOCERA AVX versus KEMET), series designation (SpinGuard® SA versus AxiMax 400 Comm X7R), and packaging format (Cut Tape). Electrical performance and physical compatibility are identical.

Q: Does packaging format affect component compatibility?

A: Packaging format (Tape & Box versus Cut Tape) affects handling and storage but does not impact electrical or mechanical compatibility. Component selection should consider your assembly process requirements and inventory management practices.

Q: Are all three parts suitable for the same circuit applications?

A: Yes. All three parts share identical capacitance, voltage rating, temperature coefficient, and operating temperature range. They are functionally interchangeable in general-purpose applications within the specified electrical and thermal parameters.

Q: What tolerance should I specify for new designs?

A: Tolerance selection depends on circuit requirements. The ±20% tolerance of SA101C102MARC is suitable for general-purpose applications. The ±10% tolerance of SA101C102KAR and C410C102K1R5TA7200 provides improved accuracy for applications requiring tighter capacitance specification.
