MSART042SCG1R5AWRA01 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The MSART042SCG1R5AWRA01 is a 1.5 pF ceramic capacitor manufactured by Taiyo Yuden, designed for general-purpose applications requiring stable capacitance across temperature variations. This surface-mount multilayer ceramic capacitor (MLCC) features C0G/NP0 temperature coefficient characteristics and operates across a temperature range of -55°C to 125°C at a rated voltage of 25V. The part is currently in active product status with 995 units available in stock.

Equivalent and substitute parts are identified based on matching electrical specifications (capacitance value, tolerance, voltage rating, and temperature coefficient) and mechanical compatibility (package type, physical dimensions, and mounting method). All substitute parts maintain identical or equivalent performance parameters within the defined operating conditions.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the MSART042SCG1R5AWRA01 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Electrical Parameters:

• Capacitance value: 1.5 pF
• Capacitance tolerance: ±0.05 pF
• Rated voltage: 25V
• Temperature coefficient: C0G/NP0

Mechanical Parameters:

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

Environmental & Compliance Parameters:

• Operating temperature range: -55°C to 125°C
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: 1 (Unlimited)
• RoHS Status: ROHS3 Compliant

All identified substitute parts meet these criteria. Packaging format (Tape & Reel versus Cut Tape) does not affect electrical or mechanical compatibility and represents a logistics consideration only.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

MSART042SCG1R5AWRA01 (Primary Selection)

The MSART042SCG1R5AWRA01 is the recommended selection for new designs. This part carries active product status, indicating ongoing manufacturer support and availability. It is supplied in Tape & Reel packaging, which is standard for automated assembly processes. Current inventory of 995 units supports immediate procurement requirements.

TMK042CG1R5AD-W (Legacy Alternative)

The TMK042CG1R5AD-W is electrically and mechanically equivalent but carries a "Not For New Designs" product status designation. This part is suitable only for sustaining production of existing designs or legacy system maintenance. The Cut Tape packaging format may require manual handling during assembly. Inventory availability is significantly higher at 51,115 units, supporting extended production runs of established products.

CQ0100ARNPO8BN1R5 (Cross-Manufacturer Alternative)

The CQ0100ARNPO8BN1R5, manufactured by YAGEO, provides a cross-manufacturer equivalent with active product status. All electrical and mechanical parameters are identical to the main part. This part is suitable for new designs and offers supply diversification. Inventory of 20,182 units is available. The part features High Q characteristics, which may provide performance benefits in specific circuit applications without affecting substitution compatibility.

All three parts are ROHS3 compliant and carry MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity ratings, indicating no special handling requirements during storage or assembly.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can TMK042CG1R5AD-W be used as a direct replacement for MSART042SCG1R5AWRA01 in new product designs?

A: TMK042CG1R5AD-W is electrically and mechanically equivalent but carries "Not For New Designs" status. For new designs, use MSART042SCG1R5AWRA01 or CQ0100ARNPO8BN1R5. TMK042CG1R5AD-W is appropriate for sustaining production of existing designs.

Q: What is the difference between Tape & Reel and Cut Tape packaging?

A: Tape & Reel packaging supplies components on continuous carrier tape wound on reels, suitable for automated pick-and-place assembly. Cut Tape supplies components on cut segments of carrier tape, typically requiring manual handling. Both formats contain identical components with identical electrical and mechanical specifications.

Q: Are all three parts suitable for the same circuit applications?

A: Yes. All three parts meet identical electrical specifications (1.5 pF, ±0.05 pF, 25V, C0G/NP0) and mechanical specifications (01005 package, -55°C to 125°C operating range). They are functionally interchangeable in circuit design.

Q: Does the High Q feature of CQ0100ARNPO8BN1R5 affect substitution compatibility?

A: No. High Q is an additional performance characteristic that does not affect the core electrical parameters (capacitance, tolerance, voltage, temperature coefficient) or mechanical compatibility. The part remains a valid substitute.

Q: What is the significance of MSL 1 (Unlimited) rating?

A: MSL 1 (Unlimited) indicates the component has no moisture sensitivity limitations. No special dry-pack storage, baking procedures, or time-to-reflow restrictions apply. Standard handling and storage conditions are acceptable.

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

A: MSART042SCG1R5AWRA01 and CQ0100ARNPO8BN1R5 in Tape & Reel format are directly compatible with standard automated pick-and-place equipment. TMK042CG1R5AD-W in Cut Tape format requires manual feeding or specialized cut-tape handling equipment.

Q: Are all parts ROHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. All three parts carry ROHS3 Compliant certification, meeting all applicable environmental and hazardous substance restrictions.
