SA101C331KAR Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The SA101C331KAR is a 330 pF ceramic capacitor rated at 100V with X7R temperature coefficient, manufactured by KYOCERA AVX in 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 and in stock, with ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status. Substitute parts are identified when equivalent electrical specifications and mechanical compatibility are maintained across the same functional parameters.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the SA101C331KAR and A331K15X7RH5TAA are active products with full regulatory compliance. Selection between these parts is based on availability, packaging format requirements, and physical space constraints in the application.

The SA101C331KAR is supplied in Tape & Reel format with 770 units in stock. The A331K15X7RH5TAA is supplied in Cut Tape format with 4275 units in stock. Both parts maintain identical electrical performance and temperature stability across the specified operating range.

Physical dimensions differ slightly: the SA101C331KAR measures 0.100" diameter by 0.170" length, while the A331K15X7RH5TAA measures 0.098" diameter by 0.150" length. These dimensional variations are within acceptable tolerances for standard through-hole PCB assembly processes and do not affect electrical functionality.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can A331K15X7RH5TAA be used as a direct replacement for SA101C331KAR?

A: Yes. Both parts are electrically equivalent with identical capacitance (330 pF), tolerance (±10%), voltage rating (100V), and temperature coefficient (X7R). Both are through-hole axial components with straight leads and meet ROHS3 and REACH compliance requirements.

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

A: The SA101C331KAR is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) format, while the A331K15X7RH5TAA is supplied in Cut Tape (CT) format. Tape & Reel is typically used for automated assembly processes, while Cut Tape is suitable for manual or semi-automated assembly.

Q: Are there physical dimension differences?

A: Yes. The SA101C331KAR is 0.100" diameter by 0.170" length (2.54mm x 4.32mm). The A331K15X7RH5TAA is 0.098" diameter by 0.150" length (2.50mm x 3.80mm). These differences are minor and do not affect standard through-hole PCB assembly compatibility.

Q: Do both parts operate across the same temperature range?

A: Yes. Both parts are rated for -55°C to 125°C operation with X7R temperature coefficient, ensuring stable capacitance performance across this range.

Q: Are both parts RoHS and REACH compliant?

A: Yes. Both SA101C331KAR and A331K15X7RH5TAA are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected.
