VJ1206Y823KXAAC Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The VJ1206Y823KXAAC is a 0.082 µF ±10% 50V ceramic capacitor manufactured by Vishay Vitramon in the 1206 (3216 Metric) surface mount package. This multilayer ceramic capacitor (MLCC) with X7R temperature coefficient is designed for general purpose applications and operates across the temperature range of -55°C to 150°C. The component is currently in active production status and carries ROHS3 compliance with MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity rating.

Substitute parts become necessary when the primary manufacturer's inventory is unavailable, when supply chain optimization requires alternative sourcing, or when design flexibility permits equivalent components from qualified manufacturers. The substitute identified maintains electrical and mechanical compatibility while offering alternative availability and packaging options.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the VJ1206Y823KXAAC is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Capacitance value must be 0.082 µF with tolerance of ±10%. Voltage rating must be 50V or higher. Temperature coefficient must be X7R to ensure stable capacitance across the operating temperature range. Package and case designation must be 1206 (3216 Metric) to guarantee mechanical and electrical compatibility on the PCB. Mounting type must be surface mount MLCC. RoHS3 compliance and MSL 1 rating are required for environmental and handling compatibility.

The substitute part C1206C823K5RAC7800 from KEMET meets all these criteria and qualifies as a direct electrical and mechanical equivalent.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the VJ1206Y823KXAAC and C1206C823K5RAC7800 are active production components with ROHS3 compliance and identical electrical specifications for capacitance, tolerance, voltage rating, and temperature coefficient. Both components carry MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity rating, indicating equivalent handling and storage requirements.

The primary distinction is the operating temperature range: the Vishay Vitramon part operates to 150°C maximum, while the KEMET substitute operates to 125°C maximum. Selection between these parts depends on whether the application requires the extended upper temperature capability of the Vishay component. For applications with maximum operating temperatures at or below 125°C, the KEMET C1206C823K5RAC7800 provides full electrical and mechanical compatibility.

Both components are suitable for general purpose and bypass/decoupling applications. The KEMET part is available in Tape & Reel packaging, which may offer supply chain advantages for high-volume production requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can C1206C823K5RAC7800 be used as a direct replacement for VJ1206Y823KXAAC?

A: Yes, for applications with maximum operating temperatures at or below 125°C. Both parts share identical capacitance (0.082 µF), tolerance (±10%), voltage rating (50V), temperature coefficient (X7R), package (1206), and compliance certifications. The Vishay part supports operation to 150°C, which the KEMET substitute does not.

Q: Are the physical dimensions identical between these parts?

A: The length and width dimensions are identical at 0.126" L x 0.063" W (3.20mm x 1.60mm). The thickness differs: Vishay maximum 0.067" (1.70mm) versus KEMET maximum 0.035" (0.88mm). This thickness difference does not affect PCB footprint compatibility but may be relevant for height-constrained applications.

Q: Do both parts meet the same environmental compliance standards?

A: Yes. Both VJ1206Y823KXAAC and C1206C823K5RAC7800 are ROHS3 compliant with MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity rating. Both carry EAR99 ECCN classification and identical HTSUS code 8532.24.0020.

Q: What is the difference between the series designations?

A: The Vishay part belongs to the VJ series, while the KEMET part is designated SMD Comm X7R series. Series designation reflects manufacturer product line organization and does not affect electrical or mechanical compatibility for this application.

Q: Can the KEMET part be used in high-temperature applications above 125°C?

A: No. The KEMET C1206C823K5RAC7800 is rated for operation only to 125°C maximum. Applications requiring operation above 125°C must use the Vishay VJ1206Y823KXAAC, which is rated to 150°C.
