MLASH32MSB5475MPCA01 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The MLASH32MSB5475MPCA01 is a 4.7 µF ceramic capacitor rated at 100V with X5R temperature coefficient in 1210 (3225 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 applications in medical and non-critical circuits requiring stable capacitance across the operating temperature range of -55°C to 85°C.

Substitute parts become necessary when the primary part experiences supply constraints, inventory limitations, or when design requirements permit the use of functionally equivalent alternatives from the same manufacturer. The substitute identified maintains identical electrical specifications and mechanical compatibility while offering different product lifecycle status or application focus.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the MLASH32MSB5475MPCA01 with the HMK325BJ475MM-PE is based on strict equivalence of the following critical parameters:

Electrical Equivalence:

• Identical capacitance value: 4.7 µF
• Identical tolerance: ±20%
• Identical voltage rating: 100V
• Identical temperature coefficient: X5R
• Identical operating temperature range: -55°C to 85°C

Mechanical Equivalence:

• Identical package designation: 1210 (3225 Metric)
• Identical mounting type: Surface Mount, MLCC
• Identical physical dimensions: 0.126" L x 0.098" W (3.20mm x 2.50mm)
• Identical maximum thickness: 0.106" (2.70mm)

Compliance Equivalence:

• Both parts are ROHS3 Compliant
• Both parts are REACH Unaffected
• Both parts share identical ECCN and HTSUS classifications
• Both parts have MSL rating of 1 (Unlimited)

The substitute part is manufactured by the same supplier (Taiyo Yuden) and maintains full functional and physical compatibility with the primary part.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Part Selection (MLASH32MSB5475MPCA01): The MLASH32MSB5475MPCA01 is the recommended choice for new designs. This part carries Active product status, indicating ongoing manufacturer support, continued availability, and full qualification for new applications. The part is ROHS3 Compliant and REACH Unaffected, meeting current environmental and regulatory requirements. With 801 pieces in stock, this part provides immediate availability for production requirements.

Substitute Part Selection (HMK325BJ475MM-PE): The HMK325BJ475MM-PE is electrically and mechanically equivalent and may be used as a direct substitute when the primary part is unavailable. However, this part carries "Not For New Designs" status, indicating it is in the mature or end-of-life phase of its product lifecycle. This designation means the manufacturer does not recommend its use in new design implementations. The substitute is suitable only for replacement, repair, or continuation of existing designs where the part has already been qualified. With 1871 pieces in inventory, this part offers higher stock availability for legacy applications.

Both parts maintain identical compliance certifications (ROHS3, REACH Unaffected) and share the same ECCN and HTSUS classifications, ensuring regulatory equivalence for supply chain and export purposes.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can HMK325BJ475MM-PE be used as a direct replacement for MLASH32MSB5475MPCA01 in new designs?

A: No. While the HMK325BJ475MM-PE is electrically and mechanically equivalent, it carries "Not For New Designs" product status. New designs must use the MLASH32MSB5475MPCA01, which has Active status. The substitute is appropriate only for replacement in existing designs or legacy applications where the part has been previously qualified.

Q: Are the physical dimensions identical between these two parts?

A: Yes. Both parts are packaged in 1210 (3225 Metric) case size with identical dimensions of 0.126" L x 0.098" W (3.20mm x 2.50mm) and maximum thickness of 0.106" (2.70mm). They are mechanically interchangeable on PCBs designed for either part.

Q: Do both parts meet the same environmental and regulatory requirements?

A: Yes. Both the MLASH32MSB5475MPCA01 and HMK325BJ475MM-PE are ROHS3 Compliant and REACH Unaffected. They share identical ECCN (EAR99) and HTSUS (8532.24.0020) classifications. Both parts have MSL rating of 1 (Unlimited), indicating no moisture sensitivity restrictions.

Q: What is the difference in electrical performance between these parts?

A: There is no difference in electrical performance. Both parts have identical capacitance (4.7 µF), tolerance (±20%), voltage rating (100V), temperature coefficient (X5R), and operating temperature range (-55°C to 85°C). They are functionally equivalent for all circuit applications.

Q: Why would I choose the substitute part if the primary part is available?

A: The primary part (MLASH32MSB5475MPCA01) should be the first choice for all new designs and standard procurement. The substitute (HMK325BJ475MM-PE) is used only when the primary part is unavailable and the application permits use of a part with "Not For New Designs" status, such as in repair, rework, or continuation of existing production runs.

Q: Are there any application differences between these parts?

A: The primary part is specified for Medical and Non-Critical applications. The substitute is specified for SMPS Filtering applications. However, both parts meet identical electrical and mechanical specifications, and the difference in stated applications reflects historical design focus rather than functional capability differences.
