Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the MSART042SCG100GWRA01 are identified based on strict equivalence across all critical electrical and mechanical parameters. The substitution logic is based on the following key parameters:

Electrical Parameters:

• Capacitance value: 10 pF
• Tolerance: ±2%
• Voltage rating: 25V
• Temperature coefficient: C0G/NP0

Mechanical Parameters:

• Package type: 01005 (0402 Metric)
• Mounting type: Surface Mount, MLCC
• Physical dimensions: 0.016" L x 0.008" W (0.40mm x 0.20mm)
• Maximum thickness: 0.009" (0.22mm)

Environmental & Compliance Parameters:

• Operating temperature range: -55°C to 125°C
• Moisture sensitivity level: 1 (Unlimited)
• Regulatory compliance: ROHS3 Compliant / REACH Unaffected

Parts meeting all these parameters are classified as direct parametric equivalents and can be substituted without circuit redesign or board layout modification.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the MSART042SCG100GWRA01 (Taiyo Yuden) and CQ0100GRNPO8BN100 (YAGEO) are active production parts with full regulatory compliance. Selection between these parts is based on the following factors:

Compliance Status: The Taiyo Yuden part carries ROHS3 Compliant certification. The YAGEO part carries REACH Unaffected status. Both meet current regulatory requirements for their respective markets.

Product Status: Both parts are in active production status, ensuring long-term availability and continued manufacturer support.

Electrical & Mechanical Equivalence: All critical parameters—capacitance, tolerance, voltage rating, temperature coefficient, package dimensions, and operating temperature range—are identical between both parts. Direct substitution is supported without circuit modification or performance degradation.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the CQ0100GRNPO8BN100 be used as a direct replacement for the MSART042SCG100GWRA01?

A: Yes. Both parts are parametric equivalents with identical capacitance (10 pF), tolerance (±2%), voltage rating (25V), temperature coefficient (C0G/NP0), operating temperature range (-55°C to 125°C), and package dimensions (01005/0402 Metric). Direct substitution is supported without circuit redesign.

Q: Are there any differences in physical dimensions between these parts?

A: No. Both parts share identical physical specifications: 0.016" L x 0.008" W (0.40mm x 0.20mm) with a maximum thickness of 0.009" (0.22mm). They are fully compatible with the same PCB footprints and assembly processes.

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

A: C0G (also designated NP0) indicates a temperature coefficient of 0 ppm/°C, meaning capacitance remains stable across the operating temperature range of -55°C to 125°C. This characteristic is critical for precision timing circuits, RF applications, and temperature-sensitive analog circuits.

Q: Do both parts have the same moisture sensitivity level?

A: Yes. Both the MSART042SCG100GWRA01 and CQ0100GRNPO8BN100 are rated MSL 1 (Unlimited), indicating no moisture sensitivity restrictions. Standard handling and storage procedures apply.

Q: What regulatory certifications apply to these parts?

A: The Taiyo Yuden MSART042SCG100GWRA01 is ROHS3 Compliant. The YAGEO CQ0100GRNPO8BN100 is REACH Unaffected. Both parts carry EAR99 ECCN classification and 8532.24.0020 HTSUS code. Both meet current regulatory requirements for their respective markets.

Q: Are these parts suitable for high-frequency applications?

A: Both parts are rated for general-purpose applications. The YAGEO CQ0100GRNPO8BN100 includes a High Q feature specification. Specific high-frequency performance characteristics should be verified against detailed datasheets for RF or microwave circuit applications.

Q: What is the difference between the MSAR and CQ series designations?

A: MSAR is the Taiyo Yuden series designation, while CQ is the YAGEO series designation. These are manufacturer-specific series identifiers. The electrical and mechanical specifications are equivalent across both series for this specific part number.
