SA101C472MAA Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The SA101C472MAA is a 4700 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. Equivalent and substitute parts are identified to support procurement flexibility, inventory management, and design continuity when the primary part becomes unavailable or when alternative packaging or tolerance specifications better suit application requirements.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the SA101C472MAA is determined by strict equivalence in the following parameters: capacitance value (4700 pF), voltage rating (100V), temperature coefficient (X7R), operating temperature range (-55°C to 125°C), mounting type (through hole), package type (axial), and physical dimensions (0.100" Dia x 0.170" L). All identified substitutes maintain these core electrical and mechanical specifications. Variations in packaging format (tape & reel versus cut tape) and tolerance specification (±20% versus ±10%) are permitted substitution parameters that do not affect functional compatibility in general-purpose applications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All three parts—SA101C472MAA, SA101C472KAA, and SA101C472MAR—are active products manufactured by KYOCERA AVX and maintain full ROHS3 compliance. Selection between these parts should be based on specific procurement and application requirements:

SA101C472KAA offers improved tolerance specification (±10% versus ±20%), providing tighter capacitance accuracy for applications requiring enhanced precision. This part is supplied in cut tape packaging.

SA101C472MAR maintains identical electrical specifications to the primary part (4700 pF ±20% at 100V) and differs only in packaging format, supplied as cut tape rather than tape & reel.

SA101C472MAA remains the primary specification with tape & reel packaging suitable for automated assembly processes.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can SA101C472KAA be used as a direct replacement for SA101C472MAA?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical capacitance (4700 pF), voltage rating (100V), temperature coefficient (X7R), operating temperature range (-55°C to 125°C), physical dimensions, and mounting type. The SA101C472KAA features improved tolerance (±10% versus ±20%), making it functionally compatible and suitable for applications where tighter capacitance accuracy is beneficial. Packaging differs (cut tape versus tape & reel).

Q: What is the difference between SA101C472MAR and SA101C472MAA?

A: These parts are electrically and mechanically identical. Both specify 4700 pF ±20% at 100V with X7R temperature coefficient and identical physical dimensions. The primary difference is packaging format: SA101C472MAA is supplied in tape & reel format, while SA101C472MAR is supplied in cut tape format.

Q: Does packaging format affect component performance?

A: No. Packaging format (tape & reel versus cut tape) does not affect electrical performance or mechanical compatibility. Selection should be based on assembly process requirements and inventory management practices.

Q: Are all substitute parts ROHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. SA101C472MAA, SA101C472KAA, and SA101C472MAR are all ROHS3 compliant and suitable for applications requiring environmental compliance certification.

Q: Can tolerance differences affect circuit performance?

A: Tolerance differences may affect circuit performance in applications with tight capacitance requirements. SA101C472KAA (±10% tolerance) provides superior accuracy compared to SA101C472MAA and SA101C472MAR (both ±20% tolerance). Application-specific circuit analysis determines whether improved tolerance is necessary.
