MLASH31LAB5225KTCA01 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The MLASH31LAB5225KTCA01 is a 2.2 µF ceramic capacitor rated at 100V with X5R temperature coefficient in 1206 (3216 Metric) surface mount package. This multilayer ceramic capacitor (MLCC) is manufactured by Taiyo Yuden and is currently in Active product status. The part is designed for medical and non-critical applications requiring stable capacitance across a wide operating temperature range of -55°C to 85°C.

Substitute parts become necessary when the primary part experiences extended lead times, inventory constraints, or when design flexibility permits selection from qualified alternatives that meet identical electrical and mechanical specifications.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Part: MLASH31LAB5225KTCA01

The MLASH31LAB5225KTCA01 is the recommended selection for new designs. This part carries Active product status from Taiyo Yuden, indicating ongoing manufacturing support and long-term availability. The part is ROHS3 compliant and carries MSL 1 rating, suitable for unlimited shelf life storage without moisture sensitivity concerns.

Substitute Part: HMK316ABJ225KL-TE

The HMK316ABJ225KL-TE is a parametric equivalent that provides identical electrical and mechanical performance. However, this part is designated as "Not For New Designs" by the manufacturer. This designation indicates that while the part remains available and functionally equivalent, Taiyo Yuden does not recommend its use in new product development. The HMK316ABJ225KL-TE is suitable for replacement, repair, or legacy system applications where the primary part is unavailable.

Both parts maintain ROHS3 compliance and REACH Unaffected status, ensuring regulatory compatibility across medical and non-critical applications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can HMK316ABJ225KL-TE be used as a direct replacement for MLASH31LAB5225KTCA01?

A: Yes. The HMK316ABJ225KL-TE meets all electrical and mechanical specifications: 2.2 µF capacitance, ±10% tolerance, 100V rating, X5R temperature coefficient, -55°C to 85°C operating range, and 1206 (3216 Metric) package dimensions. Both parts are manufactured by Taiyo Yuden and carry identical compliance certifications.

Q: What is the difference between these two parts?

A: The primary difference is product status. MLASH31LAB5225KTCA01 is Active and recommended for new designs. HMK316ABJ225KL-TE is designated "Not For New Designs," indicating it is in a mature or transitional phase of its product lifecycle. Electrically and mechanically, the parts are equivalent.

Q: Are there any package or footprint differences?

A: No. Both parts use the 1206 (3216 Metric) surface mount package with identical dimensions: 0.126" L x 0.063" W (3.20mm x 1.60mm) and maximum thickness of 0.071" (1.80mm). PCB footprints are interchangeable.

Q: Can these parts be used in medical applications?

A: Yes. The MLASH31LAB5225KTCA01 is specified for medical applications. The HMK316ABJ225KL-TE is specified for SMPS filtering applications. Both parts carry ROHS3 compliance and MSL 1 rating. Application suitability should be confirmed against specific medical device requirements and regulatory standards.

Q: What is the moisture sensitivity level, and does it affect storage?

A: Both parts carry MSL 1 (Unlimited) rating. This indicates no moisture sensitivity concerns. The parts can be stored indefinitely without special moisture control measures or baking requirements prior to assembly.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. Both MLASH31LAB5225KTCA01 and HMK316ABJ225KL-TE are ROHS3 compliant and REACH Unaffected, meeting current environmental and regulatory requirements for electronic components.
