VJ1206A331KXBMP Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The VJ1206A331KXBMP is a 330 pF ceramic capacitor manufactured by Vishay Vitramon, rated at 100V with C0G/NP0 temperature coefficient in 1206 (3216 Metric) surface mount package. This component is Active status and ROHS3 compliant. Substitute parts are identified when equivalent electrical performance and mechanical compatibility are required due to inventory constraints, design flexibility, or voltage rating upgrades within the same package footprint.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility is determined by the following criteria:

Mandatory Compatibility Parameters:

• Capacitance: 330 pF (exact match required)
• Temperature Coefficient: C0G/NP0 (exact match required)
• Package / Case: 1206 (3216 Metric) (exact match required)
• Mounting Type: Surface Mount, MLCC (exact match required)
• RoHS Status: ROHS3 Compliant (minimum requirement)
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: 1 (Unlimited) (minimum requirement)

Allowable Variation Parameters:

• Tolerance: ±10% or tighter (±5% acceptable as upgrade)
• Voltage - Rated: Equal to or greater than 100V (higher voltage acceptable)
• Operating Temperature Range: Must encompass or match -55°C ~ 150°C minimum

Substitute Categories:

Upgrade Substitutes (Higher voltage rating, tighter tolerance):

• VJ1206A331JXCAT: 200V rated, ±5% tolerance
• VJ1206A331JXEAT: 500V rated, ±5% tolerance

Direct Substitute (Same voltage rating, different manufacturer):

• C1206C331K1GAC7800: KEMET equivalent, 100V rated, ±10% tolerance

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

VJ1206A331JXCAT (200V Upgrade): Select when circuit design permits higher voltage rating and tighter tolerance (±5%) is beneficial. Maintains Vishay Vitramon series consistency. ROHS3 compliant with unlimited MSL rating.

VJ1206A331JXEAT (500V Upgrade): Select for applications requiring maximum voltage margin or when operating in high-voltage environments. Provides ±5% tolerance improvement. ROHS3 compliant with unlimited MSL rating.

C1206C331K1GAC7800 (KEMET Direct Substitute): Select when cross-manufacturer sourcing is required. Maintains 100V rating and ±10% tolerance match. ROHS3 compliant with unlimited MSL rating. Operating temperature range limited to -55°C ~ 125°C; verify compatibility if application requires full -55°C ~ 150°C range. Thickness reduced to 0.035" (0.88mm) compared to 0.067" (1.70mm) of Vishay parts; confirm PCB layout clearance.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can VJ1206A331JXCAT or VJ1206A331JXEAT be used as direct replacements for VJ1206A331KXBMP?

A: Yes. Both parts maintain identical capacitance (330 pF), temperature coefficient (C0G/NP0), package (1206), and mounting type. Higher voltage ratings (200V and 500V respectively) are electrically compatible with 100V circuit requirements. Tighter tolerance (±5%) provides improved performance.

Q: What is the difference between the Vishay upgrade parts and the KEMET direct substitute?

A: Vishay upgrade parts (VJ1206A331JXCAT and VJ1206A331JXEAT) offer higher voltage ratings and ±5% tolerance within the same manufacturer series. KEMET C1206C331K1GAC7800 provides equivalent 100V rating and ±10% tolerance from a different manufacturer. KEMET part has reduced thickness (0.035" vs 0.067") and lower maximum operating temperature (-55°C ~ 125°C vs -55°C ~ 150°C).

Q: Are all substitute parts ROHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. All listed substitute parts are ROHS3 compliant with MSL rating of 1 (Unlimited), matching the main part specification.

Q: Does the KEMET substitute require any design considerations?

A: The KEMET C1206C331K1GAC7800 has reduced thickness (0.035" vs 0.067"). Verify PCB layout and component clearance. Operating temperature range is -55°C ~ 125°C; confirm application does not require the full -55°C ~ 150°C range of the Vishay parts.

Q: Can I use a 500V rated capacitor in a 100V circuit?

A: Yes. Higher voltage-rated capacitors are electrically compatible with lower voltage applications. The VJ1206A331JXEAT (500V) operates safely in 100V circuits and provides additional voltage margin.
