Applications

• RF matching networks
• High-frequency signal filtering
• Impedance matching circuits

Procurement Notes

This component is officially listed as End-of-Life (EOL) and is no longer in production. Verification of current availability should focus on authorized distributors offering remaining stock or approved substitute part numbers. Direct procurement from the manufacturer is not possible due to termination status.

Selection Notes

Engineers selecting this part must account for its discontinued status. Design-in decisions should prioritize verified substitutes that match the 15 pF capacitance, 16 V rating, and 0402 footprint. Cross-referencing electrical parameters with alternative silicon capacitors is essential to maintain circuit integrity.

Part Context

The RFCS series represents Vishay's line of silicon RF capacitors, combining thin-film precision with small form factors. This specific model belongs to the 0402 package family, designed for dense PCB layouts. It serves as a specialized passive component for RF front-ends where standard ceramic capacitors may exhibit higher parasitic inductance.

Replacement Considerations

Publicly confirmed substitute part numbers include 0402ZK150FBSTR (KYOCERA AVX) and 06033K270GBTTR (KYOCERA AVX). These alternatives are identified as similar components available in the market.
