Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Selection (Active Status): The MLASE168SC6105KTNA01 (Taiyo Yuden) and CC0603KRX6S7BB105 (YAGEO) are both Active products and are recommended for new designs. Both parts carry identical electrical and mechanical specifications with full RoHS3 compliance and MSL 1 rating.

Secondary Selection (Not For New Designs): The EMK107C6105KA-T (Taiyo Yuden), GRT188C81C105KE13D (Murata Electronics), and C1608X6S1C105K080AC (TDK Corporation) are classified as Not For New Designs. These parts remain electrically and mechanically equivalent and are suitable for legacy system support, field replacements, or existing inventory utilization. The GRT188C81C105KE13D carries AEC-Q200 automotive qualification, making it applicable to automotive-grade applications.

Compliance Considerations: All substitute parts maintain ROHS3 compliance and MSL 1 rating, ensuring compatibility with standard manufacturing and storage processes. REACH Unaffected status applies to all parts where specified.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can EMK107C6105KA-T be used as a direct replacement for MLASE168SC6105KTNA01?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical electrical parameters (1 µF, ±10%, 16V, X6S), mechanical dimensions (0603 package, 1.60mm x 0.80mm), and compliance ratings (RoHS3, MSL 1). The EMK107C6105KA-T is classified as Not For New Designs but remains functionally equivalent for existing applications.

Q: What is the difference between the Taiyo Yuden and YAGEO options?

A: The MLASE168SC6105KTNA01 (Taiyo Yuden) and CC0603KRX6S7BB105 (YAGEO) are both Active products with identical specifications. Selection between manufacturers depends on supply chain preferences, inventory availability, and established qualification requirements.

Q: Is GRT188C81C105KE13D suitable for automotive applications?

A: Yes. The GRT188C81C105KE13D carries AEC-Q200 automotive qualification and meets all electrical and mechanical requirements of the MLASE168SC6105KTNA01. It is classified as Not For New Designs but remains available for automotive system support.
