EMK107SD103KA-T Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The EMK107SD103KA-T is a 10000 pF ceramic capacitor manufactured by Taiyo Yuden, rated for 16V operation in a 0603 (1608 Metric) surface mount package. This component is classified as not for new designs, indicating it has been superseded in the manufacturer's product line. The part features low distortion characteristics and is suitable for general-purpose applications requiring stable capacitance performance across the operating temperature range of -55°C to 125°C.

Identification of equivalent and substitute parts is necessary due to the product's discontinued status for new designs. Organizations requiring this capacitance value and voltage rating in the same package format should evaluate active alternatives that maintain electrical and mechanical compatibility.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the EMK107SD103KA-T is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Electrical Specifications:

• Capacitance value of 10000 pF
• Voltage rating of 16V or higher
• Tolerance of ±10%
• Operating temperature range spanning -55°C to 125°C

Mechanical Specifications:

• Package format 0603 (1608 Metric)
• Surface mount MLCC mounting type
• Identical physical dimensions (0.063" L x 0.031" W; 1.60mm x 0.80mm)
• Maximum thickness of 0.035" (0.90mm)

Compliance Requirements:

• ROHS3 compliance
• Moisture Sensitivity Level 1
• REACH Unaffected status

Parts meeting all these criteria are classified as direct substitutes. The MSAYE168SSD103KTNA01 satisfies all specified parameters and is therefore a valid equivalent component.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The MSAYE168SSD103KTNA01 is a direct functional equivalent to the EMK107SD103KA-T. Both components are manufactured by Taiyo Yuden and share identical electrical and mechanical specifications across all critical parameters.

Selection Basis:

The primary distinction between these parts is product lifecycle status. The EMK107SD103KA-T is designated as not for new designs, indicating it has reached end-of-life in the manufacturer's product portfolio. The MSAYE168SSD103KTNA01 carries active product status, confirming ongoing availability and manufacturer support.

Both parts maintain identical compliance certifications including ROHS3 compliance, REACH unaffected status, and moisture sensitivity classification. The substitute part is therefore suitable for direct replacement in applications currently using the main part number, as well as for new circuit designs requiring a 10000 pF, 16V ceramic capacitor in 0603 package format.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the MSAYE168SSD103KTNA01 be used as a direct replacement for the EMK107SD103KA-T?

A: Yes. Both parts are manufactured by Taiyo Yuden and share identical capacitance (10000 pF), voltage rating (16V), tolerance (±10%), package format (0603), operating temperature range (-55°C to 125°C), and all compliance certifications. The substitute part is electrically and mechanically interchangeable.

Q: What is the significance of the "Not For New Designs" status on the EMK107SD103KA-T?

A: This designation indicates the part has been superseded in the manufacturer's product line and is no longer recommended for new circuit designs. The MSAYE168SSD103KTNA01 is the active equivalent and should be specified for new applications.

Q: Are there any differences in physical dimensions between these parts?

A: No. Both parts conform to the 0603 (1608 Metric) package standard with identical dimensions of 0.063" L x 0.031" W (1.60mm x 0.80mm) and maximum thickness of 0.035" (0.90mm). They are footprint-compatible on PCB layouts.

Q: Do both parts require the same handling procedures?

A: Yes. Both parts carry Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 (Unlimited), the lowest classification. This indicates minimal moisture sensitivity and no special storage or handling requirements beyond standard component practices.

Q: What compliance certifications apply to the substitute part?

A: The MSAYE168SSD103KTNA01 is ROHS3 compliant, REACH unaffected, and carries the same regulatory classifications as the original part. It meets all applicable environmental and restricted substance requirements.

Q: Can the substitute part be used in existing inventory systems without modification?

A: The substitute part has a different manufacturer part number (MSAYE168SSD103KTNA01 versus EMK107SD103KA-T) and belongs to a different product series (MSAY versus CFCAP™). Component management systems should be updated to reflect this change, though the parts are functionally equivalent.
