Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility is determined by the following criteria:

Direct Equivalent (Same Electrical Specifications):

• Capacitance: 0.033 µF
• Voltage Rating: 50V minimum
• Tolerance: ±10%
• Temperature Coefficient: X7R
• Operating Temperature: -55°C ~ 125°C
• Mounting Type: Through Hole Axial

Upgrade Category (Enhanced Voltage Rating):

• Capacitance: 0.033 µF
• Voltage Rating: 100V (exceeds 50V requirement)
• Tolerance: ±10%
• Temperature Coefficient: X7R
• Operating Temperature: -55°C ~ 125°C
• Mounting Type: Through Hole Axial

The KEMET C410C333K5R5TA7200 qualifies as a direct equivalent with identical electrical ratings and compliance certifications. The KEMET C420C333K1R5TA7200 qualifies as an upgrade substitute with a higher voltage rating (100V vs. 50V), maintaining all other electrical parameters and certifications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

SA205C333KARC (Primary Part): Select when KYOCERA AVX SpinGuard® SA series specification is required or when the specific packaging format (Tape & Box) is mandated by procurement requirements. Product status is active with established supply.

C410C333K5R5TA7200 (Direct Equivalent): Select as a direct replacement when KYOCERA AVX supply is constrained. This KEMET AxiMax 400 Comm X7R part maintains identical electrical specifications, voltage rating, and compliance certifications. Physical dimension difference (0.170" L vs. 0.260" L) must be verified for PCB layout compatibility. Higher inventory availability (7760 units) supports procurement continuity.

C420C333K1R5TA7200 (Upgrade Substitute): Select when circuit design permits a higher voltage rating (100V vs. 50V). This upgrade provides enhanced voltage margin and is suitable for applications where increased voltage headroom is beneficial. Physical dimensions match the primary part (0.260" L). Highest inventory availability (10840 units) ensures supply security. All compliance certifications are maintained.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can C410C333K5R5TA7200 be used as a direct replacement for SA205C333KARC?

A: Yes, electrically and functionally. Both parts share identical capacitance (0.033 µF), voltage rating (50V), tolerance (±10%), temperature coefficient (X7R), and operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 125°C). However, the C410C333K5R5TA7200 has a shorter axial length (0.170" vs. 0.260"), which must be verified against PCB layout and lead spacing requirements before substitution.

Q: What is the advantage of using C420C333K1R5TA7200 over the primary part?

A: The C420C333K1R5TA7200 provides a 100V voltage rating compared to the 50V rating of SA205C333KARC, offering increased voltage margin for the same capacitance value. Physical dimensions are identical (0.260" L), and all compliance certifications remain unchanged. This upgrade is suitable for circuits where higher voltage stress tolerance is desired.

Q: Are all three parts RoHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. SA205C333KARC, C410C333K5R5TA7200, and C420C333K1R5TA7200 are all ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, meeting current environmental and regulatory requirements.

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

A: SA205C333KARC is supplied in Tape & Box (TB) format. Both KEMET substitutes (C410C333K5R5TA7200 and C420C333K1R5TA7200) are supplied in Cut Tape (CT) format. Packaging format may affect handling, storage, and automated assembly processes.

Q: Can the shorter C410C333K5R5TA7200 be used in all applications where SA205C333KARC is specified?

A: Electrical compatibility is confirmed. However, the 0.090" length difference (0.170" vs. 0.260") must be evaluated for PCB layout, lead spacing, and mechanical clearance requirements. Physical verification is necessary before design release.
