MSART042SCG6R3BWRA01 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The MSART042SCG6R3BWRA01 is a 6.3 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 main part is currently in Active product status. Equivalent substitute parts exist within the Taiyo Yuden product portfolio, offering identical electrical specifications but with different packaging formats or product lifecycle designations. These substitutes enable component sourcing flexibility when the primary part becomes unavailable or when alternative packaging configurations are required for manufacturing processes.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the MSART042SCG6R3BWRA01 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Electrical Equivalence Requirements:

• Capacitance value: 6.3 pF
• Capacitance tolerance: ±0.1pF
• Voltage rating: 25V
• Temperature coefficient: C0G, NP0
• Operating temperature range: -55°C to 125°C

Mechanical Equivalence Requirements:

• 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)

Compliance Equivalence Requirements:

• RoHS3 compliance
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: 1 (Unlimited)

All substitute parts listed maintain identical electrical performance and mechanical compatibility. Differences exist only in packaging format (Tape & Reel versus Cut Tape) and product lifecycle status. These differences do not affect functional performance in circuit applications.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Selection: MSART042SCG6R3BWRA01

The MSART042SCG6R3BWRA01 is the recommended choice for new designs. This part maintains Active product status from Taiyo Yuden, ensuring long-term availability and manufacturing support. It is supplied in Tape & Reel packaging, which is standard for automated assembly processes. Full ROHS3 compliance and unlimited moisture sensitivity rating support deployment in diverse manufacturing environments.

Secondary Selection: TVS042CG6R3BC-W

The TVS042CG6R3BC-W provides electrical and mechanical equivalence with identical specifications. Although designated as Not For New Designs, this part remains available in inventory (81,103 pieces) and maintains all compliance certifications. It is supplied in Tape & Reel packaging, matching the primary part's packaging format. This substitute is suitable for legacy system maintenance, repair operations, or applications where existing design validation has been completed.

Tertiary Selection: TMK042CG6R3BD-W

The TMK042CG6R3BD-W offers complete electrical and mechanical equivalence but is supplied in Cut Tape packaging rather than Tape & Reel format. This packaging difference requires alternative handling procedures in automated assembly environments. The part is designated as Not For New Designs. This substitute is applicable only when Cut Tape format is compatible with manufacturing processes or when Tape & Reel format is unavailable.

All three parts satisfy identical electrical requirements and maintain equivalent compliance certifications. Selection between them depends on packaging format compatibility with manufacturing equipment and product lifecycle requirements for the application.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can TMK042CG6R3BD-W be used as a direct replacement for MSART042SCG6R3BWRA01 in production?

A: TMK042CG6R3BD-W provides complete electrical and mechanical equivalence. The primary difference is packaging format: TMK042CG6R3BD-W is supplied in Cut Tape (CT) while MSART042SCG6R3BWRA01 is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR). Direct substitution in production requires that manufacturing equipment supports Cut Tape format. If your assembly line is configured for Tape & Reel only, equipment modification or manual handling procedures are necessary.

Q: What is the difference between the three substitute parts?

A: All three parts—MSART042SCG6R3BWRA01, TMK042CG6R3BD-W, and TVS042CG6R3BC-W—are electrically identical with 6.3 pF capacitance, ±0.1pF tolerance, 25V rating, and C0G/NP0 temperature coefficient. They share identical physical dimensions and mounting characteristics. Differences exist only in packaging format (Tape & Reel versus Cut Tape) and product lifecycle status (Active versus Not For New Designs).

Q: Why are some parts marked "Not For New Designs"?

A: Product status designations reflect Taiyo Yuden's lifecycle management. Parts marked "Not For New Designs" remain available for existing applications and maintenance but are not recommended for new circuit designs. MSART042SCG6R3BWRA01, with Active status, is the appropriate choice for new development projects.

Q: Are all three parts RoHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. MSART042SCG6R3BWRA01, TMK042CG6R3BD-W, and TVS042CG6R3BC-W are all ROHS3 compliant with Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 (Unlimited). They meet identical environmental and regulatory requirements.

Q: Can I use TVS042CG6R3BC-W in RF or microwave applications?

A: TVS042CG6R3BC-W is specified for RF, Microwave, and High Frequency applications. MSART042SCG6R3BWRA01 and TMK042CG6R3BD-W are specified for general purpose applications. If your circuit operates in RF or microwave frequency ranges, TVS042CG6R3BC-W may be the appropriate selection. However, all three parts share identical electrical characteristics and physical dimensions, so functional performance in any application depends on circuit design requirements rather than part designation.

Q: What inventory levels are available for each part?

A: MSART042SCG6R3BWRA01 has 879 pieces in stock. TMK042CG6R3BD-W has 41,005 pieces in stock. TVS042CG6R3BC-W has 81,103 pieces in stock. Inventory levels should be confirmed with your supplier for current availability.

Q: Are the physical dimensions identical across all three parts?

A: Yes. All three parts conform to 01005 (0402 Metric) package specifications with dimensions of 0.016" L x 0.008" W (0.40mm x 0.20mm) and maximum thickness of 0.009" (0.22mm). They are mechanically interchangeable in circuit board layouts.
