MLASE042SCG360JWNA01 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The MLASE042SCG360JWNA01 is a 36 pF ceramic capacitor manufactured by Taiyo Yuden, rated for 16V operation with C0G/NP0 temperature coefficient characteristics. This surface-mount multilayer ceramic capacitor (MLCC) is packaged in 01005 (0402 Metric) form factor and is designed for medical and non-critical applications. The part is currently in active production status. Substitute parts become necessary when primary inventory is unavailable, when supply chain constraints occur, or when design flexibility permits equivalent component selection across qualified manufacturers.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the MLASE042SCG360JWNA01 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Electrical Parameters:

• Capacitance value: 36 pF
• Tolerance: ±5%
• Voltage rating: 16V
• Temperature coefficient: C0G/NP0

Mechanical Parameters:

• Package type: 01005 (0402 Metric)
• Mounting configuration: 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
• Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 (Unlimited)

The substitute part C0402C0G1C360J manufactured by TDK Corporation meets all electrical, mechanical, and compliance requirements for direct substitution. Packaging format differs (Cut Tape versus Tape & Reel), which does not affect electrical or mechanical compatibility but may impact procurement and assembly workflows.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Selection: MLASE042SCG360JWNA01 (Taiyo Yuden)

The MLASE042SCG360JWNA01 is the recommended primary component selection. This part maintains active production status, ensuring long-term availability and supply chain stability. It is packaged in Tape & Reel format, which is standard for high-volume automated assembly operations. The part carries full ROHS3 compliance and unlimited moisture sensitivity rating, suitable for medical and non-critical applications.

Substitute Selection: C0402C0G1C360J (TDK Corporation)

The C0402C0G1C360J is a qualified electrical and mechanical equivalent. All critical parameters—capacitance, tolerance, voltage rating, temperature coefficient, operating temperature range, package dimensions, and compliance certifications—are identical to the primary part. However, this part carries obsolete product status, indicating discontinued manufacturing. The Cut Tape packaging format requires alternative handling procedures compared to Tape & Reel format. Selection of this substitute should be limited to applications where inventory availability is critical and supply chain constraints prevent procurement of the primary part.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can C0402C0G1C360J be used as a direct replacement for MLASE042SCG360JWNA01?

A: Yes. Both parts are electrically and mechanically equivalent. They share identical capacitance (36 pF), tolerance (±5%), voltage rating (16V), temperature coefficient (C0G/NP0), operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 125°C), package type (01005/0402 Metric), and physical dimensions. Both meet ROHS3 compliance and carry Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 (Unlimited).

Q: What is the difference between Tape & Reel and Cut Tape packaging?

A: Tape & Reel (TR) packaging supplies components on continuous carrier tape wound on reels, optimized for automated pick-and-place assembly. Cut Tape (CT) packaging supplies components on cut segments of carrier tape, typically used for manual assembly or lower-volume operations. Both formats contain identical components; the difference is in supply and handling methodology.

Q: Why is C0402C0G1C360J marked as obsolete?

A: Obsolete status indicates that TDK Corporation has discontinued manufacturing of this part number. While existing inventory may remain available through distributors, long-term supply cannot be guaranteed. The MLASE042SCG360JWNA01 (active status) is the preferred selection for new designs and ongoing production.

Q: Are there any thermal or frequency performance differences between these parts?

A: No. Both parts share identical temperature coefficient (C0G/NP0), operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 125°C), and physical construction as multilayer ceramic capacitors. Performance characteristics in thermal and frequency applications are equivalent.

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

A: Yes, from an electrical and mechanical standpoint. Both parts fit the same footprint (01005/0402 Metric) and have identical electrical specifications. Assembly process differences may apply due to packaging format (Tape & Reel versus Cut Tape), but the components themselves are interchangeable.

Q: What compliance certifications apply to both parts?

A: Both MLASE042SCG360JWNA01 and C0402C0G1C360J are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected. Both carry Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 (Unlimited), indicating no moisture sensitivity restrictions. Both are classified under ECCN EAR99 and HTSUS 8532.24.0020.
