Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the VJ0805A331KXCAT are qualified based on the following criteria:

Electrical Parameters (Must Match or Exceed):

• Capacitance value: 330 pF (exact match required)
• Temperature coefficient: C0G or NP0 (equivalent dielectric materials)
• Operating temperature range: minimum -55°C ~ 150°C or better
• Voltage rating: equal to or greater than 200V
• Tolerance: ±10% or tighter

Mechanical Parameters (Must Match):

• Package / Case: 0805 (2012 Metric)
• Mounting type: Surface Mount, MLCC
• Physical dimensions: 0.079" L x 0.049" W (2.00mm x 1.25mm)

Compliance Parameters (Must Match):

• RoHS Status: ROHS3 Compliant
• MSL Rating: 1 (Unlimited)

Two substitute parts meet these criteria: VJ0805A331JXEAT (Vishay Vitramon, upgraded voltage rating) and C0805C331K2GAC7800 (KEMET, direct equivalent).

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

VJ0805A331JXEAT (Vishay Vitramon Upgrade): This substitute provides identical capacitance and temperature coefficient with improved voltage rating (500V vs. 200V) and tighter tolerance (±5% vs. ±10%). Both parts maintain Active product status, ROHS3 compliance, and MSL 1 rating. The higher voltage rating provides additional design margin for applications operating near the 200V specification limit.

C0805C331K2GAC7800 (KEMET Direct Equivalent): This substitute maintains identical capacitance, tolerance, and voltage rating as the main part with matching C0G/NP0 temperature coefficient. Both parts are Active, ROHS3 compliant, and MSL 1 rated. The KEMET part features reduced maximum thickness (0.035" vs. 0.057"), which may be advantageous for space-constrained PCB layouts. Operating temperature range is -55°C ~ 125°C, which is narrower than the main part's -55°C ~ 150°C specification.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can VJ0805A331JXEAT replace VJ0805A331KXCAT in all applications?

A: Yes. VJ0805A331JXEAT is a direct upgrade with identical capacitance (330 pF), temperature coefficient (C0G/NP0), and operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 150°C). The higher voltage rating (500V vs. 200V) and tighter tolerance (±5% vs. ±10%) make it suitable for all applications requiring the original part.

Q: What is the key difference between C0805C331K2GAC7800 and VJ0805A331KXCAT?

A: Both parts share identical capacitance (330 pF), tolerance (±10%), voltage rating (200V), and temperature coefficient (C0G/NP0). The primary differences are manufacturer (KEMET vs. Vishay Vitramon), reduced thickness (0.035" vs. 0.057"), and narrower operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 125°C vs. -55°C ~ 150°C).

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

A: VJ0805A331JXEAT is available in Tape & Reel (TR) packaging. C0805C331K2GAC7800 is also available in Tape & Reel (TR) packaging. Both maintain the 0805 (2012 Metric) package specification required for direct mechanical compatibility.

Q: Do substitute parts maintain RoHS and MSL compliance?

A: Yes. Both VJ0805A331JXEAT and C0805C331K2GAC7800 are ROHS3 compliant with MSL 1 (Unlimited) rating, matching the compliance profile of VJ0805A331KXCAT.

Q: Which substitute should be selected for high-temperature applications?

A: VJ0805A331JXEAT maintains the full operating temperature range of -55°C ~ 150°C. C0805C331K2GAC7800 is rated to -55°C ~ 125°C, making it unsuitable for applications requiring operation above 125°C.
