Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the TMK063B7152MP-F is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Mandatory Matching Parameters:

• Capacitance value: 1500 pF
• Voltage rating: 25V (equal or higher)
• Temperature coefficient: X7R
• Package / Case: 0201 (0603 Metric)
• Mounting type: Surface Mount, MLCC
• Operating temperature range: -55°C ~ 125°C minimum

Allowable Variation:

• Tolerance: Substitute parts may feature tighter tolerance specifications (±10% or better) while maintaining functional compatibility with circuits designed for ±20% tolerance

The TMK063B7152KP-F qualifies as a direct substitute based on identical capacitance, voltage rating, temperature coefficient, package dimensions, and operating temperature range. The improved tolerance specification (±10% versus ±20%) represents an upgrade that enhances circuit performance without introducing incompatibility.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The TMK063B7152KP-F serves as the direct substitute for TMK063B7152MP-F in all applications requiring a 1500 pF, 25V X7R ceramic capacitor in 0201 package format. Both components share identical electrical and mechanical specifications with the exception of capacitance tolerance.

Selection Basis:

The substitute part maintains full compatibility with circuit designs originally specified for the main part number. The tighter tolerance specification (±10%) of the substitute represents an enhancement that does not introduce incompatibility. Both components carry ROHS3 compliance and MSL 1 rating, confirming equivalent environmental and handling characteristics.

Both parts carry "Not For New Designs" status from Taiyo Yuden, indicating mature product lines. Selection between these parts should be based on availability and inventory considerations rather than technical performance differentiation.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can TMK063B7152KP-F replace TMK063B7152MP-F in existing circuit designs?

A: Yes. The substitute part maintains identical capacitance value, voltage rating, temperature coefficient, package dimensions, and operating temperature range. The improved tolerance specification does not introduce incompatibility.

Q: What is the significance of the tolerance difference between ±20% and ±10%?

A: Tolerance defines the allowable deviation from the nominal capacitance value. The ±10% tolerance of the substitute part provides tighter capacitance control compared to the ±20% tolerance of the main part. Circuits designed for ±20% tolerance operate within specification when populated with ±10% tolerance components.

Q: Are the physical dimensions identical between these parts?

A: Yes. Both components feature identical 0201 (0603 Metric) package dimensions: 0.024" L x 0.012" W (0.60mm x 0.30mm) with maximum thickness of 0.015" (0.39mm). PCB footprints and assembly processes remain unchanged.

Q: Do both parts meet the same compliance standards?

A: Yes. Both TMK063B7152MP-F and TMK063B7152KP-F are ROHS3 compliant with MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity rating. Environmental and handling requirements are identical.

Q: Why does the main part carry "Not For New Designs" status?

A: This status indicates that Taiyo Yuden has transitioned this product line to mature status and does not recommend its use in new circuit development. Substitute parts with equivalent specifications should be selected for new designs.

Q: What applications are these capacitors suitable for?

A: Both parts are specified for SMPS (Switched Mode Power Supply) filtering applications where stable capacitance across the operating temperature range and reliable performance in high-frequency switching environments are required.
