SA101C222MAC Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The SA101C222MAC is a 2200 pF ceramic capacitor rated at 100V with X7R temperature coefficient, manufactured by KYOCERA AVX as part of the SpinGuard® SA series. This through-hole axial component is designed for general-purpose applications requiring stable capacitance across the operating temperature range of -55°C to 125°C. The part is currently active in production with 1086 units in stock. Substitute parts are identified when equivalent electrical specifications and mechanical compatibility are maintained while offering improvements in tolerance, compliance status, or packaging availability.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the SA101C222MAC is determined by the following criteria:

• Capacitance value must be 2200 pF
• Voltage rating must be 100V or higher
• Temperature coefficient must be X7R
• Operating temperature range must encompass -55°C to 125°C
• Mounting type must be Through Hole
• Package type must be Axial
• Physical dimensions must be 0.100" Dia x 0.170" L (2.54mm x 4.32mm)
• Lead style must be Straight

The SA101C222KAA meets all substitution criteria. Tolerance differences (±20% vs ±10%) do not disqualify substitution but represent an upgrade in precision capability.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

SA101C222KAA is a direct substitute for SA101C222MAC with the following considerations:

• Both parts maintain identical electrical performance for capacitance, voltage rating, and temperature coefficient specifications
• SA101C222KAA offers improved tolerance specification (±10% vs ±20%), providing tighter capacitance accuracy
• SA101C222KAA achieves ROHS3 compliance, whereas SA101C222MAC is RoHS non-compliant
• Physical footprint and lead configuration are identical, ensuring direct board-level compatibility
• Packaging differs (Cut Tape vs Tape & Box), which may affect procurement and assembly workflows
• Higher inventory availability of SA101C222KAA (7875 units vs 1086 units) supports supply chain continuity

Selection between these parts should be based on compliance requirements, tolerance specifications needed for the application, and packaging format compatibility with assembly processes.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can SA101C222KAA replace SA101C222MAC in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical capacitance (2200 pF), voltage rating (100V), temperature coefficient (X7R), operating temperature range (-55°C to 125°C), and physical dimensions (0.100" Dia x 0.170" L). The axial through-hole configuration and straight lead style are identical, ensuring direct substitution at the board level.

Q: What is the difference in tolerance between these parts?

A: SA101C222MAC has ±20% tolerance, while SA101C222KAA has ±10% tolerance. The tighter tolerance of SA101C222KAA provides more precise capacitance values, which may be beneficial for applications with strict capacitance requirements.

Q: Does RoHS compliance affect substitution eligibility?

A: RoHS compliance status does not affect electrical or mechanical substitution eligibility. However, design and procurement decisions may require compliance with specific regulatory standards. SA101C222KAA is ROHS3 compliant, while SA101C222MAC is RoHS non-compliant.

Q: Are the packaging formats interchangeable?

A: SA101C222MAC is supplied in Tape & Box (TB) format, while SA101C222KAA is supplied in Cut Tape (CT) format. Both formats contain the same component. Packaging format selection depends on assembly equipment compatibility and procurement preferences.

Q: What are the key parameters that determine substitution compatibility?

A: Substitution compatibility is determined by capacitance value, voltage rating, temperature coefficient, operating temperature range, mounting type, package type, physical dimensions, and lead style. All these parameters must match or exceed the original part specifications.
