Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility is determined by matching the following core electrical parameters: capacitance value (10000 pF), tolerance (±20%), temperature coefficient (Z5U), operating temperature range (10°C ~ 85°C), and mounting type (through-hole radial). Voltage rating may be equal or higher than the original specification. Lead spacing and physical dimensions are secondary considerations that must be verified for mechanical fit in the target application.

The substitute parts are categorized as follows:

Direct Equivalents — Identical electrical specifications and similar physical dimensions with 0.200" lead spacing (kinked or formed leads).

Upgrade Options — Higher voltage rating (100V) with identical capacitance and tolerance, suitable for applications requiring increased voltage margin.

Alternative Configurations — Same electrical specifications with different lead spacing (0.100") or lead style (straight leads), requiring mechanical compatibility verification.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All substitute parts maintain ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status, matching the regulatory requirements of the original SR215E103MAT. All parts are active products with confirmed inventory availability.

C317C103M5U5TA — Direct electrical equivalent with reduced physical footprint. Lead spacing matches the original specification. Suitable for space-constrained applications.

C322C103M1U5TA — Maintains original physical dimensions (0.200" x 0.125") with 100V voltage rating. Recommended for designs requiring increased voltage margin without PCB layout modification.

C317C103M1U5TA — 100V upgrade option with compact dimensions. Suitable for applications where voltage derating is desired.

C315C103M5U5TA and C320C103M5U5TA — Straight lead configurations with 0.100" lead spacing. Mechanical compatibility with PCB hole patterns must be verified before selection.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can I use a 100V rated capacitor in place of the 50V original? A: Yes. The C317C103M1U5TA and C322C103M1U5TA are 100V rated equivalents with identical capacitance and tolerance. Higher voltage rating does not affect circuit operation in 50V applications and provides additional safety margin.

Q: What is the difference between kinked and formed leads? A: Kinked leads (original SR215E103MAT) have a sharp bend for specific PCB hole spacing. Formed leads (KEMET substitutes) have a gentler curve. Both are through-hole compatible, but PCB hole pattern spacing must match the specified lead spacing.

Q: Can I use parts with 0.100" lead spacing instead of 0.200"? A: Only if your PCB is designed for 0.100" lead spacing. C315C103M5U5TA and C320C103M5U5TA have different hole-to-hole distances and are not interchangeable with 0.200" spaced designs without PCB modification.

Q: Are all substitute parts in stock? A: Yes. All listed substitutes are confirmed as new original stock with active product status from KEMET.

Q: Do substitute parts have the same temperature coefficient performance? A: Yes. All parts use Z5U temperature coefficient with identical operating range (10°C ~ 85°C) and ±20% tolerance.
