Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the MBASL31LAB7106MTNA01 is determined by strict equivalence across the following parameters:

Critical Electrical Parameters:

• Capacitance: 10 µF (exact match required)
• Tolerance: ±20% (exact match required)
• Voltage Rating: 10V (exact match required)
• Temperature Coefficient: X7R (exact match required)
• Operating Temperature Range: -55°C ~ 125°C (exact match required)

Critical Mechanical Parameters:

• Package / Case: 1206 (3216 Metric) (exact match required)
• Size / Dimension: 0.126" L x 0.063" W (3.20mm x 1.60mm) (exact match required)
• Thickness (Max): 0.071" (1.80mm) (exact match required)
• Mounting Type: Surface Mount, MLCC (exact match required)
• Packaging: Tape & Reel (TR) (exact match required)

Compliance Parameters:

• RoHS Status: ROHS3 Compliant (exact match required)
• Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL): 1 (Unlimited) (exact match required)

Substitute parts are grouped into two categories: Upgrade parts (higher reliability ratings or enhanced features) and Parametric Equivalents (identical specifications from alternative manufacturers).

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

For Active Product Status Designs:

The MSASL31LAB7106MTNA01 (Taiyo Yuden, MSAS series) is a parametric equivalent with active product status. This part maintains identical electrical and mechanical specifications while offering continued manufacturer support and availability for new designs.

The C1206C106M8RAC7800 (KEMET, SMD Comm X7R series) is a parametric equivalent from an alternative manufacturer with active product status. This part provides cross-manufacturer compatibility while maintaining all critical electrical and mechanical parameters.

For Designs Requiring Enhanced Reliability:

The LMK316AB7106MLHT (Taiyo Yuden, M series) provides AEC-Q200 automotive qualification and Ultra Low ESR features. Although marked as "Not For New Designs," this part is suitable for applications requiring automotive-grade reliability and SMPS filtering performance.

The LMF316AB7106MLHT (Taiyo Yuden, M series) provides AEC-Q200 automotive qualification for automotive and SMPS filtering applications. This part is marked as "Not For New Designs" but remains available for existing designs requiring automotive-grade components.

For Existing Design Continuity:

The C3216X7R1A106M160AC (TDK Corporation, C series) is a parametric equivalent with Low ESL features. Although marked as "Not For New Designs," this part maintains full electrical and mechanical compatibility for design continuity.

All substitute parts listed maintain ROHS3 compliance and MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity rating, ensuring compatibility with standard manufacturing and storage processes.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can I substitute MBASL31LAB7106MTNA01 with MSASL31LAB7106MTNA01?

A: Yes. The MSASL31LAB7106MTNA01 is a parametric equivalent with identical capacitance (10 µF), tolerance (±20%), voltage rating (10V), temperature coefficient (X7R), operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 125°C), package (1206/3216 Metric), and all mechanical dimensions. Both parts are active products with ROHS3 compliance and MSL 1 rating.

Q: What is the difference between the Taiyo Yuden MBASL31LAB7106MTNA01 and the KEMET C1206C106M8RAC7800?

A: Both parts are parametric equivalents with identical electrical specifications (10 µF, ±20%, 10V, X7R, -55°C ~ 125°C) and mechanical dimensions (1206 package, 0.126" x 0.063" x 0.071" max). The primary difference is manufacturer: Taiyo Yuden versus KEMET. Both are ROHS3 compliant with MSL 1 rating. The KEMET part is active product status, while the original Taiyo Yuden part is also active.

Q: Why are some substitute parts marked "Not For New Designs"?

A: Parts marked "Not For New Designs" indicate that the manufacturer has discontinued active development or is transitioning the product line. These parts remain available for existing designs and applications but should not be selected for new product development. For new designs, select parts with "Active" product status such as MSASL31LAB7106MTNA01 or C1206C106M8RAC7800.

Q: Can I use LMK316AB7106MLHT as a direct replacement?

A: Yes, from an electrical and mechanical standpoint. The LMK316AB7106MLHT matches all critical parameters: 10 µF capacitance, ±20% tolerance, 10V rating, X7R temperature coefficient, -55°C ~ 125°C operating range, 1206 package, and identical dimensions. However, this part is marked "Not For New Designs" and includes AEC-Q200 automotive qualification and Ultra Low ESR features not present in the original part. Use only if your application requires these enhanced specifications or if continuity with existing inventory is necessary.

Q: Are all substitute parts compatible with the same PCB footprint?

A: Yes. All substitute parts use the 1206 (3216 Metric) package with identical dimensions: 0.126" L x 0.063" W (3.20mm x 1.60mm) and maximum thickness of 0.071" (1.80mm). All parts are surface mount MLCCs with tape and reel packaging, ensuring PCB footprint and assembly process compatibility.

Q: What compliance certifications apply to all substitute parts?

A: All substitute parts listed are ROHS3 compliant and carry MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity rating. The LMF316AB7106MLHT and LMK316AB7106MLHT include AEC-Q200 automotive qualification. The C1206C106M8RAC7800 and C3216X7R1A106M160AC include REACH Unaffected status. All parts carry EAR99 ECCN classification and 8532.24.0020 HTSUS code.

Q: Can I mix different manufacturers' parts in the same production run?

A: Yes. All substitute parts meet identical electrical and mechanical specifications, ROHS3 compliance, and MSL 1 rating. However, verify that your quality assurance and procurement procedures permit multi-source component usage. Mixing manufacturers may require separate incoming inspection protocols or supplier qualification documentation.

Q: What is the difference between the MBASL31LAB7106MTNA01 and C3216X7R1A106M160AC?

A: Both parts are parametric equivalents with identical capacitance (10 µF), tolerance (±20%), voltage (10V), temperature coefficient (X7R), operating temperature (-55°C ~ 125°C), and package dimensions (1206/3216 Metric). The primary differences are manufacturer (Taiyo Yuden versus TDK Corporation) and features (C3216X7R1A106M160AC includes Low ESL). The TDK part is marked "Not For New Designs," while the original Taiyo Yuden part is active.
