MSART042SCG7R5BWRA01 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The MSART042SCG7R5BWRA01 is a 7.5 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 supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) packaging. The part is currently in Active product status with ROHS3 compliance and unlimited moisture sensitivity rating (MSL 1).

Equivalent and substitute parts are identified based on matching electrical specifications (capacitance, voltage rating, tolerance, and temperature coefficient) and mechanical compatibility (package type, form factor, and mounting method). Substitute parts may differ in packaging format, product status, or manufacturer while maintaining full functional equivalence.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility is determined by strict equivalence across all critical electrical and mechanical parameters. The following parameters must match exactly for a part to be considered a direct substitute:

Mandatory Matching Parameters:

• Capacitance: 7.5 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
• Physical Dimensions: 0.016" L x 0.008" W (0.40mm x 0.20mm)
• Thickness (Max): 0.009" (0.22mm)

Parameters Permitted to Vary:

• Manufacturer (Taiyo Yuden, YAGEO)
• Packaging Format (Tape & Reel vs. Cut Tape)
• Product Status (Active vs. Not For New Designs)
• Series designation
• Application classification

All identified substitute parts meet these equivalence criteria and are suitable for direct replacement in applications requiring this capacitor specification.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

MSART042SCG7R5BWRA01 (Primary Selection)

This part is the recommended choice for new designs. It maintains Active product status with Taiyo Yuden, ensuring long-term availability and manufacturing consistency. ROHS3 compliance and MSL 1 rating provide full environmental and handling flexibility. Tape & Reel packaging is standard for high-volume production environments.

TVS042CG7R5BC-W (Secondary Selection)

This Taiyo Yuden part is electrically and mechanically identical to the main part but carries a "Not For New Designs" status. It is suitable for legacy system maintenance, repair, or replacement applications where existing inventory must be sustained. Cut Tape packaging may require manual handling or reel conversion for automated assembly processes. Use of this part in new designs is not recommended due to product lifecycle status.

CQ0100BRNPO8BN7R5 (Alternative Selection)

This YAGEO part provides full electrical and mechanical equivalence with Active product status. It is suitable for new designs as an alternative source when Taiyo Yuden parts are unavailable or when multi-source qualification is required. Tape & Reel packaging supports standard production workflows. The CQ series designation indicates High Q characteristics, which may provide performance benefits in specific RF or high-frequency applications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can TVS042CG7R5BC-W be used as a direct replacement for MSART042SCG7R5BWRA01?

A: Yes. Both parts are electrically and mechanically identical with matching capacitance (7.5 pF), tolerance (±0.1 pF), voltage rating (25V), temperature coefficient (C0G/NP0), and package form factor (01005). The primary difference is product status and packaging format. TVS042CG7R5BC-W is supplied in Cut Tape format rather than Tape & Reel.

Q: What is the difference between Tape & Reel (TR) and Cut Tape (CT) packaging?

A: Tape & Reel packaging supplies components on a continuous reel suitable for automated pick-and-place assembly. Cut Tape packaging supplies components on tape segments, typically requiring manual handling or reel conversion. Both formats contain identical components; the difference is in supply format and handling requirements.

Q: Is CQ0100BRNPO8BN7R5 suitable for new product designs?

A: Yes. CQ0100BRNPO8BN7R5 maintains Active product status and is fully qualified for new designs. It is manufactured by YAGEO and provides identical electrical specifications and package compatibility. It may be selected as a primary source or alternative source in multi-vendor qualification strategies.

Q: What does "Not For New Designs" mean for TVS042CG7R5BC-W?

A: "Not For New Designs" indicates that the manufacturer (Taiyo Yuden) is not actively promoting this part for new product development. The part remains available for existing applications and legacy system support but should not be selected as the primary component for new designs. Active alternatives such as MSART042SCG7R5BWRA01 or CQ0100BRNPO8BN7R5 are preferred.

Q: Are all three parts ROHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. MSART042SCG7R5BWRA01, TVS042CG7R5BC-W, and CQ0100BRNPO8BN7R5 are all ROHS3 compliant and carry MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity rating, indicating no special storage or handling requirements.

Q: Can these parts be used interchangeably in RF and microwave applications?

A: Yes. All three parts meet the electrical and mechanical specifications required for RF and microwave applications. TVS042CG7R5BC-W is specifically designated for RF, Microwave, and High Frequency applications. CQ0100BRNPO8BN7R5 features High Q characteristics, which may provide performance advantages in high-frequency circuits. MSART042SCG7R5BWRA01 is designated for General Purpose applications but is electrically suitable for RF use.

Q: What is the physical footprint compatibility?

A: All three parts use the 01005 (0402 Metric) package 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 fully compatible with the same PCB footprint and assembly equipment.
