SQCB7M560FATME Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The SQCB7M560FATME is a 56 pF ±1% 500V ceramic capacitor manufactured by KYOCERA AVX in the SQ series with M temperature coefficient. This surface mount MLCC (multilayer ceramic capacitor) is designed for RF, microwave, and high-frequency applications requiring high Q and low loss characteristics. The part is classified as obsolete, necessitating identification of active equivalent alternatives that maintain electrical and mechanical compatibility for continued system support and new designs.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the SQCB7M560FATME is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Capacitance: 56 pF (exact match required)
• Tolerance: ±1% (exact match required)
• Voltage Rating: 500V (exact match required)
• Package / Case: 1111 (2828 Metric) (exact match required)
• Physical Dimensions: 0.110" L x 0.110" W x 0.102" max thickness (exact match required)
• Mounting Type: Surface Mount, MLCC (exact match required)
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: 1 (Unlimited) (exact match required)

Substitute parts are grouped into two categories:

Direct Manufacturer Equivalent: AQ137M560FA1BE (KYOCERA AVX, Active status) maintains identical electrical specifications and physical form factor with M temperature coefficient and extended operating range to 175°C.

Manufacturer-Recommended Alternative: 100B560FT500XT1K (American Technical Ceramics, Active status) provides electrical equivalence with P90 temperature coefficient and operates to 125°C maximum, with additional low ESL feature specification.

Parametric Equivalent: SQCB7M560FAJME\500 (KYOCERA AVX, Active status) maintains identical electrical and physical specifications as the original part with M temperature coefficient and 175°C operating range, with RoHS non-compliance noted.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

For RoHS3 Compliant Applications: AQ137M560FA1BE is the primary substitute. This KYOCERA AVX part maintains full electrical and mechanical compatibility with identical M temperature coefficient and extended operating range to 175°C, with active product status and ROHS3 compliance certification.

For Extended Temperature Applications: Both AQ137M560FA1BE and SQCB7M560FAJME\500 support the full -55°C to 175°C operating range. SQCB7M560FAJME\500 is electrically identical but carries RoHS non-compliance status, limiting use in regulated applications.

For Low ESL Requirements: 100B560FT500XT1K from American Technical Ceramics provides the additional low ESL feature specification. This part operates to 125°C maximum with P90 temperature coefficient, suitable for applications where the reduced upper temperature limit is acceptable.

For Compliance-Sensitive Designs: AQ137M560FA1BE is the recommended selection due to ROHS3 compliance and active product status, ensuring long-term availability and regulatory alignment.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can SQCB7M560FAJME\500 be used as a direct replacement for SQCB7M560FATME?

A: SQCB7M560FAJME\500 provides electrical and mechanical equivalence with identical capacitance, tolerance, voltage rating, package, and operating temperature range. However, it carries RoHS non-compliance status, which may restrict use in applications subject to RoHS regulations.

Q: What is the difference between the M and P90 temperature coefficients?

A: Temperature coefficient defines capacitance variation across the operating temperature range. M coefficient (KYOCERA AVX parts) and P90 coefficient (American Technical Ceramics part) represent different dielectric formulations. Both are provided in the specifications; selection depends on application-specific temperature stability requirements.

Q: Is 100B560FT500XT1K suitable for applications requiring 175°C operation?

A: No. The 100B560FT500XT1K operates to 125°C maximum. For applications requiring the full -55°C to 175°C range, use AQ137M560FA1BE or SQCB7M560FAJME\500.

Q: Are all substitute parts available in the same packaging format?

A: AQ137M560FA1BE and SQCB7M560FAJME\500 are supplied in standard packaging. The 100B560FT500XT1K is specified as Tape & Reel (TR) packaging. Verify packaging requirements for your procurement process.

Q: What inventory status should influence part selection?

A: All three substitute parts are listed as active with available inventory. AQ137M560FA1BE (1034 pcs), 100B560FT500XT1K (1832 pcs), and SQCB7M560FAJME\500 (1126 pcs) are in stock. Inventory levels may change; confirm current availability with your supplier.
