MSART042SCG5R3BWRA01 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The MSART042SCG5R3BWRA01 is a 5.3 pF ceramic capacitor manufactured by Taiyo Yuden, rated for 25V with C0G/NP0 temperature coefficient characteristics. This surface-mount multilayer ceramic capacitor (MLCC) is packaged in 01005 (0402 Metric) form factor and is designated for general-purpose applications. The part maintains Active product status and is ROHS3 compliant with MSL 1 moisture sensitivity rating.

Substitute parts become necessary when the primary part experiences supply constraints, inventory limitations, or when design requirements permit selection from alternative product lines within the same electrical and mechanical specifications.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the MSART042SCG5R3BWRA01 is determined by strict equivalence across the following parameters:

Mandatory Matching Parameters:

• Capacitance: 5.3 pF (exact match required)
• Tolerance: ±0.1pF (exact match required)
• Voltage Rating: 25V (exact match required)
• Temperature Coefficient: C0G, NP0 (exact match required)
• Operating Temperature Range: -55°C ~ 125°C (exact match required)
• Package / Case: 01005 (0402 Metric) (exact match required)
• Mounting Type: Surface Mount, MLCC (exact match required)
• RoHS Status: ROHS3 Compliant (exact match required)
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: 1 (Unlimited) (exact match required)

The substitute part TVS042CG5R3BC-W meets all mandatory matching parameters and is therefore electrically and mechanically interchangeable with the MSART042SCG5R3BWRA01.

TVS042CG5R3BC-W (Substitute Part)

The TVS042CG5R3BC-W is electrically and mechanically equivalent to the MSART042SCG5R3BWRA01 across all critical parameters. However, this part carries a "Not For New Designs" product status designation. The TVS042CG5R3BC-W is appropriate for:

• Replacement and repair of existing equipment
• Continuation of legacy production runs
• Applications where design refresh is not planned

The TVS042CG5R3BC-W maintains ROHS3 compliance and MSL 1 rating, ensuring compatibility with standard assembly and handling procedures. Significantly higher inventory availability (80,913 pieces) supports immediate fulfillment of substitute requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can TVS042CG5R3BC-W be used as a direct replacement for MSART042SCG5R3BWRA01?

A: Yes. Both parts are electrically and mechanically equivalent. They share identical capacitance (5.3 pF), tolerance (±0.1pF), voltage rating (25V), temperature coefficient (C0G, NP0), operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 125°C), package form factor (01005/0402 Metric), and physical dimensions. Both are ROHS3 compliant with MSL 1 moisture sensitivity rating.

Q: What is the significance of the "Not For New Designs" status on TVS042CG5R3BC-W?

A: This designation indicates the manufacturer is not actively promoting this part for new product development. However, the part remains functionally equivalent and available. For new designs, MSART042SCG5R3BWRA01 is the recommended selection due to its Active status. For existing equipment maintenance or legacy production continuation, TVS042CG5R3BC-W is a valid substitute.

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

A: No. Both parts are packaged in 01005 (0402 Metric) form factor with identical dimensions: 0.016" L x 0.008" W (0.40mm x 0.20mm) and maximum thickness of 0.009" (0.22mm). They are mechanically interchangeable on printed circuit boards.

Q: Do both parts require the same handling and storage procedures?

A: Yes. Both parts carry MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity rating, indicating no special moisture control requirements during storage or handling. Standard component storage conditions apply to both parts.

Q: Which part should be selected for a new product design?

A: MSART042SCG5R3BWRA01 is the appropriate selection for new designs due to its Active product status, ensuring long-term availability and manufacturer support. TVS042CG5R3BC-W should be reserved for replacement and legacy production applications.

Q: Are there any compliance or certification differences between these parts?

A: No. Both parts are ROHS3 compliant and carry identical environmental certifications (ECCN: EAR99, HTSUS: 8532.24.0020). They meet the same regulatory requirements for commercial and industrial applications.
