Procurement Notes

This component is identified as obsolete or end-of-life. Verification of availability through authorized distributors is required. Substitution with equivalent active parts from the same manufacturer series should be considered for new designs. Confirm RoHS compliance status and specific packaging options directly with suppliers before procurement.

Selection Notes

Select this part for applications requiring precise 15 pF capacitance in small footprints. Ensure the 16 V rating meets circuit voltage requirements. Verify that the ±5% tolerance aligns with design specifications. Consider thermal stability characteristics for operation within the specified temperature range.

Part Context

The RFCS series represents Vishay's line of silicon RF capacitors. These components offer advantages over traditional ceramic types in terms of Q-factor and self-resonant frequency behavior at high frequencies. The 0402 size provides space efficiency for dense PCB layouts.

Replacement Considerations

Check for direct substitutes within the RFCS series such as RFCS04021500CBTT1 if tolerance variations are acceptable. Consult official Vishay documentation for recommended alternative part numbers due to the obsolete status.
