Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the MLASH31LSB7683KTNA01 are classified into two categories based on substitution logic:

Upgrade Substitutes are parts that maintain identical electrical specifications (0.068 µF, ±10%, 100V, X7R, -55°C ~ 125°C) and mechanical compatibility (1206 package, 3.20mm x 1.60mm x 1.80mm) while offering enhanced certifications or different product status. These parts include automotive-grade ratings (AEC-Q200) or alternative packaging formats.

Parametric Equivalents are parts that match all critical electrical and mechanical parameters but may differ in series designation, base product number, or specific application focus. These parts maintain full functional interchangeability within the specified parameter constraints.

Substitution is valid when the following parameters remain constant:

• Capacitance: 0.068 µF
• Tolerance: ±10%
• Voltage Rating: 100V
• Temperature Coefficient: X7R
• Operating Temperature: -55°C ~ 125°C
• Package: 1206 (3216 Metric)
• Physical Dimensions: 0.126" L x 0.063" W x 0.071" Max Thickness
• Mounting Type: Surface Mount, MLCC

Engineering Selection Recommendations

For Active Product Status Designs: The MLASH31LSB7683KTNA01 remains the primary selection for new medical and non-critical applications. This part maintains Active product status with full manufacturer support and is suitable for ongoing production.

For Automotive Applications: When automotive-grade certification is required, HMK316B7683KLHT (Taiyo Yuden) or CGA5L2X7R2A683K160AA (TDK Corporation) are suitable selections. Both parts carry AEC-Q200 ratings and maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications. HMK316B7683KLHT is designated "Not For New Designs" but remains available in inventory (1624 Pcs). CGA5L2X7R2A683K160AA is also "Not For New Designs" with higher inventory availability (1221 Pcs).

For General Purpose Applications: Parametric equivalents C3216X7R2A683K160AA and C3216X7R2A683K160AM (both TDK Corporation) provide full electrical and mechanical compatibility. C3216X7R2A683K160AA offers the highest inventory level (5385 Pcs) and is designated for general purpose applications. C3216X7R2A683K160AM includes Open Mode failure characteristic and is available with 3736 Pcs in stock.

For Tape & Reel Packaging: All recommended substitutes except CGJ5L2X7R2A683K160AA are available in Tape & Reel (TR) packaging, matching the original part's packaging format. CGJ5L2X7R2A683K160AA is supplied in Cut Tape (CT) format and is classified as Obsolete.

Compliance Considerations: All listed parts are RoHS3 compliant with MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity rating, matching the original part's compliance profile. REACH status is unaffected for all parts where specified.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can HMK316B7683KLHT be used as a direct replacement for MLASH31LSB7683KTNA01?

A: Yes. HMK316B7683KLHT maintains identical electrical specifications (0.068 µF, ±10%, 100V, X7R, -55°C ~ 125°C) and mechanical compatibility (1206 package, 3.20mm x 1.60mm x 1.80mm). Both parts are RoHS3 compliant with MSL 1 rating. The primary difference is product status: MLASH31LSB7683KTNA01 is Active while HMK316B7683KLHT is Not For New Designs. HMK316B7683KLHT includes AEC-Q200 automotive certification, making it suitable for automotive applications where the original part is not.

Q: What is the difference between upgrade substitutes and parametric equivalents?

A: Upgrade substitutes (HMK316B7683KLHT, CGA5L2X7R2A683K160AA, CGJ5L2X7R2A683K160AA) are parts that enhance the original specification with additional certifications such as AEC-Q200 automotive rating while maintaining identical electrical and mechanical parameters. Parametric equivalents (C3216X7R2A683K160AA, C3216X7R2A683K160AM) match all critical electrical and mechanical specifications but are designated for general purpose applications without automotive certification.

Q: Is CGJ5L2X7R2A683K160AA suitable for new designs?

A: No. CGJ5L2X7R2A683K160AA is classified as Obsolete and is not recommended for new designs. While it maintains identical electrical specifications and mechanical compatibility, its obsolete status indicates limited future availability and manufacturer support. For new designs, select from parts with Active or Not For New Designs status that have confirmed ongoing inventory.

Q: Does packaging format affect electrical performance?

A: No. Packaging format (Tape & Reel versus Cut Tape) does not affect electrical performance or mechanical compatibility. The difference is in handling and assembly logistics. Tape & Reel (TR) packaging is standard for automated assembly lines, while Cut Tape (CT) is used for manual or lower-volume applications. All parts maintain identical component specifications regardless of packaging format.

Q: Are all substitute parts RoHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. All listed substitute parts are RoHS3 compliant and carry MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity rating, matching the original MLASH31LSB7683KTNA01 compliance profile. REACH status is unaffected for all parts where specified in the data.

Q: What inventory levels are available for each substitute?

A: MLASH31LSB7683KTNA01 (original): 1178 Pcs. HMK316B7683KLHT: 1624 Pcs. CGA5L2X7R2A683K160AA: 1221 Pcs. CGJ5L2X7R2A683K160AA: 2657 Pcs. C3216X7R2A683K160AA: 5385 Pcs. C3216X7R2A683K160AM: 3736 Pcs. C3216X7R2A683K160AA offers the highest inventory availability.

Q: Can C3216X7R2A683K160AM be used in place of C3216X7R2A683K160AA?

A: Yes. Both parts are parametric equivalents with identical electrical specifications (0.068 µF, ±10%, 100V, X7R, -55°C ~ 125°C) and mechanical compatibility (1206 package, 3.20mm x 1.60mm x 1.80mm). The primary difference is that C3216X7R2A683K160AM includes Open Mode failure characteristic, while C3216X7R2A683K160AA does not specify this feature. Both are suitable for general purpose applications.

Q: Which substitute part is recommended for automotive applications?

A: HMK316B7683KLHT (Taiyo Yuden) or CGA5L2X7R2A683K160AA (TDK Corporation) are recommended for automotive applications. Both parts carry AEC-Q200 certification and maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications to the original part. HMK316B7683KLHT is manufactured by the same supplier as the original part, while CGA5L2X7R2A683K160AA provides an alternative from TDK Corporation.
