SA205C473KAM Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The SA205C473KAM is a 0.047 µF ceramic capacitor rated at 50V 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 operating temperature range of -55°C to 125°C. The part is currently active in production with 741 pieces available in stock. Substitute parts are identified when equivalent electrical specifications and mechanical compatibility are maintained while offering alternative packaging configurations or improved compliance status.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the SA205C473KAM is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Capacitance value: 0.047 µF (exact match required)
• Tolerance: ±10% (exact match required)
• Voltage rating: 50V (exact match required)
• Temperature coefficient: X7R (exact match required)
• Operating temperature range: -55°C to 125°C (exact match required)
• Mounting type: Through Hole (exact match required)
• Package type: Axial (exact match required)
• Lead style: Straight (exact match required)
• Manufacturer: KYOCERA AVX (same manufacturer, same series)

The SA105C473KAA meets all electrical and mechanical substitution criteria. Differences in physical dimensions (lead length) and packaging format (Cut Tape versus Tape & Reel) do not affect functional equivalence in circuit applications. The substitute part offers improved RoHS compliance status.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the SA205C473KAM and SA105C473KAA are active production parts from KYOCERA AVX with identical electrical specifications. Selection between these parts should be based on the following factors:

The SA205C473KAM is suitable for applications where Tape & Reel packaging is required for automated assembly processes and where RoHS non-compliance is acceptable for the application.

The SA105C473KAA is suitable for applications requiring ROHS3 compliance and where Cut Tape packaging is compatible with assembly operations. This substitute offers superior regulatory compliance status and significantly higher inventory availability.

Both parts carry the same ECCN (EAR99) and HTSUS (8532.24.0040) classifications and are REACH Unaffected.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can SA105C473KAA be used as a direct replacement for SA205C473KAM in circuit design?

A: Yes. Both parts have identical electrical specifications: 0.047 µF capacitance, ±10% tolerance, 50V rating, and X7R temperature coefficient. The circuit performance is functionally equivalent.

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

A: Tape & Reel (TR) packaging is supplied on continuous tape wound on reels, suitable for high-volume automated assembly. Cut Tape (CT) packaging is supplied as individual tape segments, suitable for lower-volume or manual assembly operations. Both formats contain the same component.

Q: Does the shorter lead length of SA105C473KAA affect compatibility?

A: Lead length differences (0.260" versus 0.170") do not affect electrical performance or circuit compatibility. Both parts maintain the same 0.100" diameter and straight lead style. PCB layout and through-hole spacing remain compatible.

Q: Why is RoHS compliance different between these parts?

A: SA105C473KAA is ROHS3 compliant, while SA205C473KAM is RoHS non-compliant. Applications subject to RoHS regulations should specify the SA105C473KAA substitute.

Q: Are there any temperature or voltage derating considerations when substituting?

A: No. Both parts operate identically across the -55°C to 125°C temperature range at 50V rated voltage. No derating adjustments are required.
