LMK107B7225MA-TR Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The LMK107B7225MA-TR is a 2.2 µF ceramic capacitor rated at 10V with X7R temperature coefficient in 0603 (1608 Metric) surface mount package. This component is manufactured by Taiyo Yuden and is designated as Not For New Designs, indicating it has been superseded in the manufacturer's product line. The part is supplied in Tape & Reel packaging and is ROHS3 compliant with MSL 1 moisture sensitivity rating.

Equivalent and substitute parts are necessary when the original part reaches end-of-life status, inventory depletion, or when design requirements necessitate upgraded electrical specifications such as higher voltage ratings or improved performance characteristics.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the LMK107B7225MA-TR is determined by the following critical parameters:

Mandatory Matching Parameters:

• Capacitance: 2.2 µF
• Temperature Coefficient: X7R
• Package / Case: 0603 (1608 Metric)
• Mounting Type: Surface Mount, MLCC
• Operating Temperature Range: -55°C ~ 125°C
• Tolerance: ±20%

Allowable Variation Parameters:

• Voltage Rating: Equal or higher than 10V
• Physical Thickness: May vary within component design constraints
• Packaging Format: Tape & Reel or Cut Tape formats are interchangeable for assembly purposes
• Manufacturer: Alternative manufacturers acceptable if all electrical and mechanical parameters align

Substitute parts are grouped into two categories:

Direct Equivalent: MSASL168SB7225MTNB25 maintains identical voltage rating (10V) and all core electrical specifications while offering Active product status.

Upgrade Equivalent: EMK107BB7225MA-T provides increased voltage rating (16V) while maintaining all other electrical and mechanical parameters, suitable for applications requiring higher voltage margin.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

For Direct Replacement (Pin-Compatible, Electrical Equivalent):

MSASL168SB7225MTNB25 is the appropriate selection when direct substitution is required. This part maintains identical electrical specifications (2.2 µF, 10V, X7R) and physical footprint compatibility. The MSASL168SB7225MTNB25 carries Active product status, ensuring continued availability and manufacturing support. All compliance certifications (ROHS3, REACH Unaffected, EAR99) are equivalent. The increased thickness (0.90mm vs. 0.50mm) is within standard MLCC design variation and does not affect PCB assembly compatibility for 0603 packages.

For Upgraded Voltage Margin:

EMK107BB7225MA-T provides a 16V rating compared to the original 10V specification. This upgrade is applicable when circuit design permits higher voltage components or when additional voltage margin is desired for reliability enhancement. The part maintains all other electrical and mechanical parameters. Thickness increases to 1.00mm, remaining within acceptable 0603 package tolerances. This part is also ROHS3 compliant and carries the same moisture sensitivity rating.

Compliance and Regulatory Considerations:

All three parts are ROHS3 compliant, REACH unaffected, and classified under ECCN EAR99. Selection between parts should be based on product lifecycle requirements and inventory availability rather than regulatory constraints.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can MSASL168SB7225MTNB25 be used as a direct replacement for LMK107B7225MA-TR?

A: Yes. MSASL168SB7225MTNB25 is a direct electrical and mechanical equivalent. Both parts have identical capacitance (2.2 µF), voltage rating (10V), temperature coefficient (X7R), and 0603 package dimensions. The thickness difference (0.90mm vs. 0.50mm) is within standard MLCC manufacturing variation and does not affect PCB assembly or circuit performance.

Q: What is the primary difference between the direct equivalent and upgrade equivalent?

A: The direct equivalent (MSASL168SB7225MTNB25) maintains the original 10V voltage rating. The upgrade equivalent (EMK107BB7225MA-T) increases the voltage rating to 16V while preserving all other electrical specifications. The upgrade is suitable for applications requiring higher voltage margin or when circuit design permits higher-rated components.

Q: Are there any thickness constraints when substituting these parts?

A: The original part has a maximum thickness of 0.50mm. The direct equivalent is 0.90mm thick, and the upgrade equivalent is 1.00mm thick. These variations are within standard 0603 MLCC package tolerances and do not create assembly or clearance issues on standard PCBs. Verify clearance in applications with height-constrained designs.

Q: Do all substitute parts have the same moisture sensitivity rating?

A: Yes. The main part, direct equivalent, and upgrade equivalent all have MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity rating, indicating no special moisture handling requirements during storage or assembly.

Q: Why is the original part marked as "Not For New Designs"?

A: This designation indicates the part has been superseded in the manufacturer's product line. For new designs, the Active-status MSASL168SB7225MTNB25 is the recommended selection to ensure long-term availability and manufacturing support.

Q: Can packaging format differences affect substitution?

A: The original part is supplied in Tape & Reel format. The direct equivalent is also Tape & Reel. The upgrade equivalent is supplied in Cut Tape and Digi-Reel format. All formats are compatible with standard SMT assembly equipment and do not affect electrical performance or circuit functionality.

Q: Are all substitute parts RoHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. All three parts—LMK107B7225MA-TR, MSASL168SB7225MTNB25, and EMK107BB7225MA-T—are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, meeting current environmental and regulatory requirements.
