Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the MLASH31LAC7225MTCA01 is determined by strict equivalence across the following parameters: capacitance value (2.2 µF), tolerance (±20%), rated voltage (100V), temperature coefficient (X7S), operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 125°C), package type (1206/3216 Metric), physical dimensions (0.126" L x 0.063" W, 0.071" max thickness), mounting type (Surface Mount MLCC), and packaging format (Tape & Reel). All substitute parts listed maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications. Compliance certifications (RoHS3, REACH Unaffected, MSL 1) are consistent across all qualified substitutes. Substitutes are grouped by manufacturer and product status to facilitate selection based on availability and design phase requirements.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

For Active Product Status Applications: The CGA5L3X7S2A225M160AB (TDK Corporation) is the primary upgrade substitute. This part maintains Active product status and includes AEC-Q200 automotive qualification rating, making it suitable for new designs and applications requiring automotive-grade reliability. The MLASH31LAC7225MTCA01 (Taiyo Yuden) remains the baseline reference with Active status for medical and non-critical applications.

For Legacy or Constrained Supply Scenarios: The HMK316AC7225ML-TE (Taiyo Yuden) and C3216X7S2A225M160AB (TDK Corporation) are classified as Not For New Designs but remain electrically and mechanically equivalent. These parts are suitable for replacement in existing production runs or when primary sources are unavailable. Both maintain full RoHS3 compliance and MSL 1 rating.

Compliance and Certification Basis: All four parts are ROHS3 compliant, REACH unaffected, and carry MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity rating. The CGA5L3X7S2A225M160AB differentiates through AEC-Q200 certification, appropriate for automotive applications. Selection between Taiyo Yuden and TDK manufacturers depends on supply chain requirements and existing qualification documentation.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can MLASH31LAC7225MTCA01 be directly replaced with HMK316AC7225ML-TE? A: Yes. Both parts are manufactured by Taiyo Yuden and share identical electrical specifications (2.2 µF, 100V, X7S, ±20% tolerance), operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 125°C), and mechanical package (1206/3216 Metric). The HMK316AC7225ML-TE is classified as Not For New Designs but is functionally equivalent for existing applications.

Q: What is the difference between the Taiyo Yuden and TDK substitute options? A: Both manufacturers provide electrically and mechanically identical parts. The primary distinction is manufacturer identity and product status. CGA5L3X7S2A225M160AB (TDK) carries Active status and AEC-Q200 automotive qualification. C3216X7S2A225M160AB (TDK) is Not For New Designs. Selection depends on supply availability, existing design qualifications, and application requirements.

Q: Are all substitute parts suitable for medical applications? A: The MLASH31LAC7225MTCA01 is explicitly rated for medical and non-critical applications. All substitute parts maintain identical electrical, mechanical, and compliance specifications (RoHS3, MSL 1). Application suitability depends on design-specific medical device requirements and existing qualification documentation rather than component specifications alone.

Q: Does package size remain consistent across all substitutes? A: Yes. All 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 layout and assembly processes require no modification when substituting between these parts.

Q: What is the significance of the X7S temperature coefficient? A: X7S temperature coefficient specifies capacitance variation across the operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 125°C) with maximum drift of ±15%. This specification is identical across all four parts, ensuring consistent performance in temperature-sensitive applications.

Q: Can these parts be used interchangeably in automated assembly? A: Yes. All parts are packaged in Tape & Reel (TR) format with identical 1206 package geometry. Automated pick-and-place equipment requires no reconfiguration. Moisture sensitivity level (MSL 1 - Unlimited) is consistent, eliminating special storage or handling requirements.
