Voltage Rating: 16V (exact match required)
Temperature Coefficient: X7R (exact match required)
Operating Temperature Range: -55°C ~ 125°C (exact match required)

Mechanical Parameters:

Package / Case: 1206 (3216 Metric) (exact match required)
Mounting Type: Surface Mount, MLCC (exact match required)
Physical Dimensions: 0.126" L x 0.063" W (3.20mm x 1.60mm) (exact match required)

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Selection (Active Status): The MAASE31LAB7106MTNA01 remains the preferred choice for new designs due to its Active product status. This part is supported by the manufacturer for ongoing production and design integration.

Alternative Selection (Active Status): The C1206C106M4RACAUTO (KEMET) and GCM31CR71C106MA64L (Murata Electronics) are both Active products and serve as qualified alternatives. These parts provide supply chain diversification from different manufacturers while maintaining full electrical and mechanical compatibility. Both carry AEC-Q200 qualification and ROHS3 compliance, meeting automotive application requirements.

Legacy Inventory (Not For New Designs): The EMF316AB7106MLHT and EMK316AB7106MLHT (both Taiyo Yuden) are marked as "Not For New Designs" and should be used only for legacy system maintenance, repair, or replacement applications where the original part specification must be maintained. These parts remain electrically and mechanically equivalent but are not recommended for new product development.

Compliance Verification: All substitute parts maintain AEC-Q200 automotive qualification, ROHS3 compliance, and MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity rating. No additional compliance verification is required for direct substitution in automotive applications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can EMF316AB7106MLHT or EMK316AB7106MLHT be used in new designs?

A: No. Both parts carry "Not For New Designs" status. They are electrically and mechanically equivalent to MAASE31LAB7106MTNA01 but should be reserved for legacy system maintenance and repair only. For new designs, use MAASE31LAB7106MTNA01, C1206C106M4RACAUTO, or GCM31CR71C106MA64L.

Q: Are all substitute parts suitable for automotive applications?

A: Yes. All four substitute parts carry AEC-Q200 qualification and are approved for automotive applications. The MAASE31LAB7106MTNA01, C1206C106M4RACAUTO, and GCM31CR71C106MA64L are all Active products suitable for new automotive designs.

Q: What is the difference between the Taiyo Yuden MAASE31 and EMF316/EMK316 series?

A: All three Taiyo Yuden parts (MAASE31LAB7106MTNA01, EMF316AB7106MLHT, EMK316AB7106MLHT) are electrically and mechanically identical. The primary difference is product status: MAASE31 is Active, while EMF316 and EMK316 are Not For New Designs. The series designation reflects different product lines within Taiyo Yuden's portfolio.

Q: Can these parts be used interchangeably on the same PCB assembly?

A: Yes. All substitute parts share identical electrical parameters (10 µF, ±20%, 16V, X7R), identical mechanical dimensions (1206 package, 0.126" x 0.063" x 0.071" max), and identical mounting type (Surface Mount, MLCC). They are pin-compatible and footprint-compatible with no PCB redesign required.

Q: What is the significance of MSL 1 (Unlimited)?

A: MSL 1 (Unlimited) indicates the lowest moisture sensitivity level. These parts do not require special moisture control during storage, handling, or assembly. Standard warehouse conditions and standard PCB assembly processes are acceptable without additional precautions.

Q: Are there any thermal performance differences between manufacturers?

A: All parts share identical temperature coefficient (X7R) and operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 125°C). X7R specification ensures capacitance variation remains within ±15% across the full operating temperature range. No thermal performance differentiation exists between manufacturers for this specification.

Q: Which substitute part offers the best inventory availability?

A: GCM31CR71C106MA64L (Murata Electronics) has the highest inventory with 7169 units available, followed by C1206C106M4RACAUTO (KEMET) with 6417 units. Both exceed the primary part's inventory of 904 units.
