Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the MLASE042SCG030CWNA01 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Electrical Parameters:

  • Capacitance value: 3 pF
  • Tolerance: ±0.25pF
  • Voltage rating: 16V
  • Temperature coefficient: C0G/NP0

Mechanical Parameters:

  • Package type: 01005 (0402 Metric)
  • Mounting type: Surface Mount, MLCC
  • Physical dimensions: 0.016" L x 0.008" W (0.40mm x 0.20mm)
  • Maximum thickness: 0.009" (0.22mm)

Compliance Parameters:

  • RoHS3 compliance
  • REACH unaffected status
  • Moisture sensitivity level: 1 (Unlimited)

Substitute parts must match all electrical specifications, occupy identical physical space on printed circuit boards, and maintain equivalent regulatory compliance. Parts meeting these criteria are classified as direct parametric equivalents.
