MSART042SCG020BWRA01 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The MSART042SCG020BWRA01 is a 2 pF ceramic capacitor manufactured by Taiyo Yuden, rated for 25V with C0G/NP0 temperature coefficient characteristics. This surface-mount multilayer ceramic capacitor (MLCC) in 01005 (0402 Metric) package is designed for general-purpose applications requiring stable capacitance across the operating temperature range of -55°C to 125°C. The part is currently in active production status with ROHS3 compliance and unlimited moisture sensitivity level (MSL 1). Equivalent substitute parts are identified when manufacturers discontinue production, inventory becomes unavailable, or alternative sourcing is required for supply chain optimization.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the MSART042SCG020BWRA01 are qualified based on strict electrical and mechanical parameter matching. All identified substitutes maintain identical specifications across the following critical parameters:

• Capacitance Value: 2 pF (exact match required)
• Capacitance Tolerance: ±0.1pF (exact match required)
• Voltage Rating: 25V (minimum acceptable rating)
• Temperature Coefficient: C0G/NP0 (required for temperature stability)
• Operating Temperature Range: -55°C to 125°C (full range compatibility)
• Package / Case: 01005 (0402 Metric) (physical and electrical footprint compatibility)
• Mounting Type: Surface Mount, MLCC (assembly process compatibility)
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: 1 (Unlimited) (handling compatibility)
• Packaging Format: Tape & Reel (TR) (supply chain compatibility)

Substitutes are sourced from qualified manufacturers (YAGEO, KYOCERA AVX) with active product status and equivalent compliance certifications. All substitute parts are functionally interchangeable within the specified electrical and mechanical constraints.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All three parts—MSART042SCG020BWRA01 (Taiyo Yuden), CQ0100BRNPO8BN2R0 (YAGEO), and KGM02ACG1E2R0BH (KYOCERA AVX)—are functionally equivalent for direct substitution in applications requiring a 2 pF, 25V, C0G/NP0 ceramic capacitor in 01005 package format.

Compliance and Certification Status:

• All parts maintain ROHS3 compliance or equivalent environmental standards
• All parts are classified under ECCN EAR99 and HTSUS 8532.24.0020
• All parts carry MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity rating, eliminating special handling requirements
• All parts are in active production status, ensuring long-term availability

Selection Basis: Component selection should be based on inventory availability, lead time requirements, and cost considerations. The electrical and mechanical specifications are identical across all three manufacturers, ensuring drop-in compatibility within the specified circuit application. No performance differentiation exists between the primary part and its substitutes based on the provided parameters.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can CQ0100BRNPO8BN2R0 or KGM02ACG1E2R0BH be used as direct replacements for MSART042SCG020BWRA01?

A: Yes. Both substitute parts are parametrically equivalent across all critical electrical and mechanical specifications, including capacitance value, tolerance, voltage rating, temperature coefficient, operating temperature range, package dimensions, and moisture sensitivity level. Direct substitution is supported without circuit redesign or board layout modification.

Q: Are there any differences in the 01005 (0402 Metric) package dimensions between manufacturers?

A: No. All three parts share identical package specifications: 0.016" L x 0.008" W (0.40mm x 0.20mm) with maximum thickness of 0.009" (0.22mm). Footprint compatibility is guaranteed across all substitute parts.

Q: What is the significance of the C0G/NP0 temperature coefficient designation?

A: C0G and NP0 are equivalent designations for the same temperature coefficient class, indicating minimal capacitance variation across the -55°C to 125°C operating temperature range. This characteristic is essential for applications requiring stable capacitance performance across environmental temperature extremes. All substitute parts maintain this specification.

Q: Does the MSL 1 (Unlimited) rating apply to all substitute parts?

A: Yes. All three parts carry MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity level, indicating no special moisture-sensitive device (MSD) handling, baking, or storage requirements. Standard component handling procedures are applicable.

Q: Are there compliance or export restrictions affecting these parts?

A: All parts are classified under ECCN EAR99 and HTSUS 8532.24.0020, indicating standard commercial electronic components with no specific export restrictions. Compliance status is equivalent across all three manufacturers.

Q: What is the difference between the YAGEO CQ0100BRNPO8BN2R0 and KYOCERA AVX KGM02ACG1E2R0BH substitutes?

A: Both parts are parametrically identical to the primary part. The YAGEO part is noted with High Q feature designation, while the KYOCERA AVX part carries REACH Unaffected status. These designations do not affect electrical or mechanical compatibility. Selection between these two substitutes should be based on inventory availability and supply chain preferences.

Q: Can these parts be used interchangeably in automated assembly processes?

A: Yes. All parts are supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) packaging format compatible with standard pick-and-place assembly equipment. Identical package dimensions and mounting type ensure seamless integration into existing assembly workflows without equipment reconfiguration.
