Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the HMK316B7154MLHT is determined by strict equivalence across the following parameters:

Primary Substitution Criteria:

• Capacitance value: 0.15 µF
• Tolerance: ±20%
• Voltage rating: 100V
• Temperature coefficient: X7R
• Operating temperature range: -55°C ~ 125°C
• Package: 1206 (3216 Metric)
• Mounting type: Surface Mount, MLCC
• Physical dimensions: 0.126" L x 0.063" W (3.20mm x 1.60mm)
• Thickness: 0.071" (1.80mm)
• Moisture sensitivity: 1 (Unlimited)
• Compliance: ROHS3, AEC-Q200

All identified substitute parts meet these criteria without deviation. Substitutes are grouped as parametric equivalents, meaning they are functionally and mechanically interchangeable with the main part number.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

MCASH31LSB7154MTNA01 (Taiyo Yuden): This substitute is an active product from the same manufacturer as the main part. It maintains identical electrical and mechanical specifications while offering current production status. Selection of this part eliminates obsolescence risk associated with the Not For New Designs status of HMK316B7154MLHT. Both parts carry AEC-Q200 automotive qualification and ROHS3 compliance.

CGA5L2X7R2A154M160AA (TDK Corporation): This substitute provides parametric equivalence from an alternative qualified manufacturer. It meets all electrical, mechanical, and compliance requirements of the main part. The part is in active production status. Selection of this part provides supply chain diversification while maintaining full compatibility with existing designs.

Both substitutes are suitable for direct replacement in applications currently using HMK316B7154MLHT. The choice between substitutes depends on supply availability, procurement preferences, and existing supplier relationships.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can MCASH31LSB7154MTNA01 be used as a direct replacement for HMK316B7154MLHT?

A: Yes. Both parts are identical in capacitance (0.15 µF), voltage rating (100V), temperature coefficient (X7R), operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 125°C), package (1206), physical dimensions, and compliance certifications (AEC-Q200, ROHS3). Direct substitution is supported without circuit modification.

Q: Can CGA5L2X7R2A154M160AA be used as a direct replacement for HMK316B7154MLHT?

A: Yes. The TDK part meets all electrical and mechanical specifications of the Taiyo Yuden part. Capacitance, voltage rating, temperature coefficient, operating temperature range, package dimensions, and compliance certifications are identical. Direct substitution is supported.

Q: What is the significance of the "Not For New Designs" status on HMK316B7154MLHT?

A: This designation indicates the part has been superseded by the manufacturer and is no longer recommended for new circuit designs. Existing inventory may remain available, but long-term sourcing cannot be guaranteed. Use of active substitute parts (MCASH31LSB7154MTNA01 or CGA5L2X7R2A154M160AA) is recommended for new designs and ongoing production.

Q: Are all three parts qualified for automotive applications?

A: Yes. HMK316B7154MLHT, MCASH31LSB7154MTNA01, and CGA5L2X7R2A154M160AA all carry AEC-Q200 automotive qualification. All three parts are suitable for automotive applications requiring this certification level.

Q: Do the substitute parts have the same moisture sensitivity level?

A: Yes. All three parts have Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 (Unlimited), indicating no special moisture handling or baking requirements during storage or assembly.

Q: Are there any dimensional differences between the main part and substitutes?

A: No. All three parts share identical package designation (1206 / 3216 Metric), length (0.126" / 3.20mm), width (0.063" / 1.60mm), and maximum thickness (0.071" / 1.80mm). Physical interchangeability is confirmed.

Q: What is the difference between the Taiyo Yuden substitutes?

A: MCASH31LSB7154MTNA01 is the active production equivalent from Taiyo Yuden, replacing the obsolete HMK316B7154MLHT. Both are from the same manufacturer and meet identical specifications. The primary difference is product status: MCASH31LSB7154MTNA01 is Active, while HMK316B7154MLHT is Not For New Designs.

Q: Can I mix these parts in the same production batch?

A: Yes. All three parts are parametrically equivalent and carry identical compliance certifications. They can be used interchangeably within the same assembly without affecting circuit performance or reliability.
