MSART042SCGR75AWRA01 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The MSART042SCGR75AWRA01 is a 0.75 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) operates at 25V with C0G/NP0 temperature coefficient characteristics, ensuring minimal capacitance drift from -55°C to 125°C. The part is currently in active production status with 1002 units available in inventory. Equivalent substitute parts are necessary when tape and reel packaging is unavailable or when alternative sourcing from the same manufacturer's product lines is required to maintain supply chain continuity.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the MSART042SCGR75AWRA01 is determined by strict equivalence across all critical electrical and mechanical parameters. The substitute part TMK042CGR75AD-W qualifies as a parametric equivalent because it maintains identical specifications for capacitance (0.75 pF), tolerance (±0.05pF), voltage rating (25V), temperature coefficient (C0G/NP0), operating temperature range (-55°C to 125°C), package type (01005/0402 Metric), and mounting configuration (Surface Mount MLCC). Both parts are manufactured by Taiyo Yuden and share identical physical dimensions and RoHS3 compliance status.

The primary distinction between these parts is packaging format: the main part is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) configuration, while the substitute is supplied in Cut Tape (CT) format. This packaging difference does not affect electrical performance or mechanical compatibility on the PCB. The substitute part carries a "Not For New Designs" product status, indicating it remains available for existing applications but is not recommended for new circuit development.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

For Active Production and New Designs: The MSART042SCGR75AWRA01 is the preferred selection. This part maintains active product status, ensuring long-term availability and manufacturer support. The tape and reel packaging format is optimized for high-volume automated assembly processes, reducing handling costs and improving placement accuracy in production environments.

For Existing Designs and Legacy Support: The TMK042CGR75AD-W serves as a direct functional substitute when the main part is unavailable. Despite its "Not For New Designs" status, this part remains electrically and mechanically equivalent and is suitable for sustaining production of existing products. The cut tape packaging format is appropriate for lower-volume applications or manual assembly scenarios. Both parts maintain identical ROHS3 compliance and moisture sensitivity ratings, ensuring regulatory and handling requirements are met interchangeably.

Packaging Considerations: Selection between these parts should account for assembly infrastructure. Tape and reel format requires compatible pick-and-place equipment, while cut tape format accommodates manual or semi-automated placement. The choice does not affect circuit performance, thermal characteristics, or long-term reliability.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can TMK042CGR75AD-W be used as a direct replacement for MSART042SCGR75AWRA01 in existing PCB designs?

A: Yes. Both parts are electrically and mechanically identical across all critical parameters: capacitance, tolerance, voltage rating, temperature coefficient, operating temperature range, package dimensions, and mounting type. The only difference is packaging format (cut tape versus tape and reel), which does not affect PCB compatibility or circuit performance.

Q: What does "Not For New Designs" status mean for the TMK042CGR75AD-W?

A: This designation indicates the manufacturer is not recommending this part for new circuit development. However, it remains available for production of existing designs and is fully functional. For new designs, Taiyo Yuden recommends using the MSART042SCGR75AWRA01, which carries active product status.

Q: Are there any electrical performance differences between these two parts?

A: No. Both parts have identical capacitance (0.75 pF), tolerance (±0.05pF), voltage rating (25V), temperature coefficient (C0G/NP0), and operating temperature range (-55°C to 125°C). They will perform identically in any circuit application.

Q: How does packaging format affect component selection?

A: Packaging format determines handling and assembly compatibility. Tape and reel (TR) format is designed for automated pick-and-place equipment used in high-volume manufacturing. Cut tape (CT) format is suitable for lower-volume production, manual assembly, or applications where reel-based equipment is unavailable. The electrical and mechanical performance of the component itself is unaffected by packaging format.

Q: Are both parts RoHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. Both MSART042SCGR75AWRA01 and TMK042CGR75AD-W are ROHS3 compliant and carry identical moisture sensitivity level (MSL 1 - Unlimited), meeting regulatory requirements for most applications.

Q: What is the significance of the 01005 (0402 Metric) package designation?

A: This package designation defines the physical footprint and dimensions of the component on the PCB. Both parts use the identical 01005 package, ensuring they fit the same PCB layout without modification. The dimensions are 0.016" L x 0.008" W (0.40mm x 0.20mm) with a maximum thickness of 0.009" (0.22mm).

Q: Can I mix these parts in the same production batch?

A: Yes. Since both parts are electrically and mechanically equivalent, they can be used interchangeably in the same circuit design and production batch. However, inventory management should account for the different packaging formats and product status designations.
