MSART042SCG2R2BWRA01 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The MSART042SCG2R2BWRA01 is a 2.2 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 temperature ranges from -55°C to 125°C.

The main part is currently in Active product status. Equivalent and substitute parts become necessary when the primary part experiences supply constraints, inventory limitations, or when design flexibility permits component sourcing from alternative manufacturers while maintaining identical electrical and mechanical specifications.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the MSART042SCG2R2BWRA01 is determined by strict equivalence across the following parameters:

Mandatory Matching Parameters:

• Capacitance: 2.2 pF
• Tolerance: ±0.1 pF
• Voltage Rating: 25V
• Temperature Coefficient: C0G, NP0
• Operating Temperature Range: -55°C to 125°C
• Package / Case: 01005 (0402 Metric)
• Mounting Type: Surface Mount, MLCC
• RoHS Status: ROHS3 Compliant
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: 1 (Unlimited)

Packaging Variations Permitted: Substitute parts may differ in packaging format (Tape & Reel versus Cut Tape) without affecting electrical or mechanical compatibility, as both formats contain identical components suitable for automated assembly processes.

Product Status Consideration: While the main part maintains Active status, substitute parts with alternative product statuses (such as Not For New Designs) remain electrically and mechanically equivalent and may be selected based on availability and application requirements.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Substitute: CQ0100BRNPO8BN2R2 (YAGEO)

The CQ0100BRNPO8BN2R2 is the preferred substitute for the MSART042SCG2R2BWRA01. Both parts maintain Active product status, ensuring continued manufacturer support and supply chain stability. This YAGEO component provides identical electrical specifications, mechanical dimensions, and compliance certifications. The part is available in Tape & Reel packaging, matching the primary part's format. Current inventory levels (20,272 pieces) support production requirements.

Secondary Substitute: TVS042CG2R2BC-W (Taiyo Yuden)

The TVS042CG2R2BC-W is a Taiyo Yuden alternative offering identical electrical and mechanical specifications. This part carries Not For New Designs status, indicating it remains in production but is not recommended for new circuit designs. Selection of this substitute is appropriate for legacy system maintenance, field replacements, or applications where design freeze permits use of superseded components. The part is supplied in Cut Tape format, requiring consideration of assembly process compatibility. Inventory availability (56,741 pieces) is substantial.

Selection Criteria:

• For new designs with active product preference: Select CQ0100BRNPO8BN2R2
• For legacy system compatibility or Taiyo Yuden-specific requirements: Select TVS042CG2R2BC-W
• For Tape & Reel packaging requirement: Both CQ0100BRNPO8BN2R2 and MSART042SCG2R2BWRA01 are suitable
• For Cut Tape packaging requirement: TVS042CG2R2BC-W is the available option

All three parts satisfy ROHS3 compliance, MSL 1 (Unlimited) handling requirements, and operate across the full -55°C to 125°C temperature range.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can TVS042CG2R2BC-W be used as a direct replacement for MSART042SCG2R2BWRA01?

A: Yes. Both parts are electrically and mechanically identical, with matching capacitance (2.2 pF), tolerance (±0.1 pF), voltage rating (25V), temperature coefficient (C0G/NP0), and package dimensions (01005/0402 Metric). The primary difference is packaging format (Cut Tape versus Tape & Reel) and product status (Not For New Designs versus Active). Assembly process compatibility with Cut Tape format must be confirmed for your production environment.

Q: What is the difference between the MSART042SCG2R2BWRA01 and CQ0100BRNPO8BN2R2?

A: The primary differences are manufacturer (Taiyo Yuden versus YAGEO) and series designation (MSAR versus CQ). All electrical specifications, mechanical dimensions, temperature characteristics, and compliance certifications are identical. Both parts are in Active product status and supplied in Tape & Reel format.

Q: Are there any performance differences between these substitute parts?

A: No performance differences exist within the specified parameters. All three parts deliver 2.2 pF capacitance with ±0.1 pF tolerance, 25V rating, C0G/NP0 temperature stability, and -55°C to 125°C operating range. Differences in series designation, manufacturer, and product status do not affect electrical or mechanical performance.

Q: Can I mix packaging formats (Tape & Reel and Cut Tape) in production?

A: Packaging format compatibility depends on your assembly equipment and processes. Tape & Reel format (MSART042SCG2R2BWRA01 and CQ0100BRNPO8BN2R2) is standard for automated pick-and-place systems. Cut Tape format (TVS042CG2R2BC-W) requires manual handling or specialized equipment. Confirm your assembly line capabilities before selecting Cut Tape components.

Q: Why is TVS042CG2R2BC-W marked as Not For New Designs?

A: This designation indicates the part remains in production and available for purchase but is not recommended for incorporation into new circuit designs. The part is suitable for legacy system support, field replacements, and maintenance applications. For new designs, CQ0100BRNPO8BN2R2 or MSART042SCG2R2BWRA01 (both Active status) are preferred.

Q: Are all substitute parts ROHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. MSART042SCG2R2BWRA01, TVS042CG2R2BC-W, and CQ0100BRNPO8BN2R2 are all ROHS3 compliant and carry Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 (Unlimited), indicating no special moisture handling requirements during storage or assembly.

Q: What inventory levels are available for each part?

A: Current inventory levels are MSART042SCG2R2BWRA01 (895 pieces), TVS042CG2R2BC-W (56,741 pieces), and CQ0100BRNPO8BN2R2 (20,272 pieces). Inventory levels are subject to change and should be confirmed with your supplier for production planning.
