SA201C153KAR Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The SA201C153KAR is a 0.015 µF 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 requiring stable capacitance across a wide temperature range (-55°C to 125°C). The part is currently active and ROHS3 compliant. Substitute parts are identified when equivalent electrical specifications and mechanical compatibility are maintained across the same capacitance value, voltage rating, tolerance, and temperature coefficient.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution for the SA201C153KAR is based on strict electrical and mechanical equivalence. The following parameters must match identically for a part to qualify as a direct substitute:

• Capacitance: 0.015 µF
• Voltage Rating: 100V
• Tolerance: ±10%
• Temperature Coefficient: X7R
• Operating Temperature Range: -55°C to 125°C
• Mounting Type: Through Hole
• Package Type: Axial
• Physical Dimensions: 0.100" Dia x 0.260" L (2.54mm x 6.60mm)
• Lead Style: Straight
• RoHS Compliance: ROHS3 Compliant

The identified substitute part C420C153K1R5TA7200 from KEMET meets all these criteria, making it electrically and mechanically interchangeable with the SA201C153KAR.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

• Inventory availability: C420C153K1R5TA7200 has 1384 pieces in stock versus 795 pieces for SA201C153KAR
• Manufacturer series: SA201C153KAR belongs to the SpinGuard® SA series; C420C153K1R5TA7200 belongs to the AxiMax 400 Comm X7R series

Both parts maintain ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status, ensuring regulatory compatibility in equivalent applications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can C420C153K1R5TA7200 be used as a direct replacement for SA201C153KAR?

A: Yes. Both parts have identical capacitance (0.015 µF), voltage rating (100V), tolerance (±10%), temperature coefficient (X7R), operating temperature range (-55°C to 125°C), and physical dimensions (0.100" Dia x 0.260" L). They are electrically and mechanically interchangeable.

Q: What is the difference between Tape & Reel and Cut Tape packaging?

A: Tape & Reel (TR) packaging supplies components on a continuous reel suitable for automated assembly equipment. Cut Tape (CT) packaging provides components on tape segments, typically for smaller quantity orders or manual assembly. Both formats contain the same component.

Q: Are there any compliance differences between these parts?

A: No. Both SA201C153KAR and C420C153K1R5TA7200 are ROHS3 compliant, REACH unaffected, and classified under ECCN EAR99 with HTSUS code 8532.24.0040.

Q: Can these parts be used interchangeably in PCB designs?

A: Yes. The identical axial package dimensions, lead style, and through-hole mounting type ensure direct PCB compatibility without design modifications.

Q: What determines if a substitute part is acceptable?

A: Substitution requires matching capacitance value, voltage rating, tolerance, temperature coefficient, operating temperature range, mounting type, package type, physical dimensions, and lead style. All these parameters are identical between SA201C153KAR and C420C153K1R5TA7200.
