MSASE042SCG020CWNA01 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The MSASE042SCG020CWNA01 is a 2 pF ceramic capacitor manufactured by Taiyo Yuden, rated for 16V operation 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 part is currently in active production status with ROHS3 compliance and unlimited moisture sensitivity rating (MSL 1). Equivalent substitute parts are identified to provide design flexibility, supply chain alternatives, and procurement options while maintaining electrical and mechanical compatibility.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the MSASE042SCG020CWNA01 are identified based on strict electrical and mechanical parameter matching. The substitution criteria are:

Electrical Parameters (Must Match):

• Capacitance: 2 pF
• Tolerance: ±0.25pF
• Voltage Rating: 16V
• Temperature Coefficient: C0G/NP0

Mechanical Parameters (Must Match):

• 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 Parameters (Must Match):

• RoHS Status: ROHS3 Compliant
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: 1 (Unlimited)

Parts meeting all these criteria are classified as direct parametric equivalents and can be substituted without circuit redesign or board layout modification.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the MSASE042SCG020CWNA01 and KGU02ACG1C2R0CH are active production parts with identical electrical specifications, mechanical dimensions, and regulatory compliance status. Selection between these parts is based on availability and supply chain considerations rather than technical performance differences.

MSASE042SCG020CWNA01 (Taiyo Yuden): Select this part when Taiyo Yuden supply is preferred or when existing inventory supports production schedules. Current inventory: 913 pieces.

KGU02ACG1C2R0CH (KYOCERA AVX): Select this part as a primary alternative when KYOCERA AVX supply is more favorable or when higher inventory availability is required. Current inventory: 4603 pieces. Both parts meet ROHS3 compliance and carry unlimited moisture sensitivity rating (MSL 1), eliminating special handling requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can KGU02ACG1C2R0CH be used as a direct replacement for MSASE042SCG020CWNA01 without circuit modification?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical electrical parameters (2 pF capacitance, ±0.25pF tolerance, 16V rating, C0G/NP0 temperature coefficient), identical mechanical dimensions (01005/0402 Metric package), and identical operating temperature range (-55°C to 125°C). No circuit redesign is required.

Q: Are there any physical differences between these two parts?

A: No. Both parts have identical dimensions: 0.016" L x 0.008" W (0.40mm x 0.20mm) with maximum thickness of 0.009" (0.22mm). They are mechanically interchangeable on PCB layouts.

Q: Do both parts require special moisture handling?

A: No. Both parts carry Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL) 1, which indicates unlimited shelf life without special moisture control measures. Standard storage conditions are acceptable.

Q: What is the tolerance specification for these capacitors?

A: Both parts are specified with ±0.25pF tolerance. This tolerance applies to the 2 pF nominal capacitance value.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. Both MSASE042SCG020CWNA01 and KGU02ACG1C2R0CH are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, meeting current environmental regulations.

Q: What is the rated voltage for these capacitors?

A: Both parts are rated for 16V operation. This is the maximum voltage that should be applied across the capacitor terminals.

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

A: Both parts feature C0G/NP0 temperature coefficient, which provides stable capacitance across temperature variations. The KGU02ACG1C2R0CH is specifically characterized for RF and microwave applications. The MSASE042SCG020CWNA01 is specified for general-purpose applications. Application suitability should be determined by circuit requirements and performance specifications.
