• Maximum thickness: 0.009" (0.22mm)

Compliance Parameters:

• RoHS3 Compliance
• REACH Unaffected status
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: 1 (Unlimited)

Parts meeting all specified parameters are classified as direct equivalents and may be substituted without circuit redesign or board layout modification.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the MSASE042SCG030CWNA01 (Taiyo Yuden) and KGU02ACG1C3R0CH (KYOCERA AVX) are Active product status components with identical electrical specifications, mechanical dimensions, and compliance certifications. Selection between these parts is based on:

Availability and Lead Time: The KGU02ACG1C3R0CH maintains higher inventory levels (18,960 pcs) compared to the MSASE042SCG030CWNA01 (1,005 pcs), supporting shorter procurement cycles and reduced supply chain risk.

Compliance Status: Both parts are ROHS3 Compliant and REACH Unaffected, meeting regulatory requirements for commercial and industrial applications.

Moisture Sensitivity: Both parts carry MSL 1 (Unlimited) rating, indicating no moisture sensitivity constraints during storage, handling, or assembly processes.

Packaging: Both parts are supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) format, compatible with automated assembly equipment and standard pick-and-place operations.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can KGU02ACG1C3R0CH be used as a direct replacement for MSASE042SCG030CWNA01?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical capacitance (3 pF), tolerance (±0.25pF), voltage rating (16V), temperature coefficient (C0G/NP0), operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 125°C), package type (01005/0402 Metric), and physical dimensions. No circuit redesign or board layout modification is required.

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

A: Both parts meet the same electrical specifications. The KYOCERA AVX part (KGU02ACG1C3R0CH) is specified for RF and microwave applications with high Q and low loss characteristics, while the Taiyo Yuden part (MSASE042SCG030CWNA01) is designated for general purpose applications. Both operate within identical electrical parameters.

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

A: The 01005 package is a surface-mount form factor measuring 0.016" L x 0.008" W (0.40mm x 0.20mm) with maximum thickness of 0.009" (0.22mm). This ultra-miniature package is compatible with high-density PCB layouts and automated assembly processes. Both substitute parts use this identical package specification.

Q: Do these parts require special handling or storage conditions?

A: Both parts carry Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL) 1 (Unlimited), indicating no moisture sensitivity constraints. Standard component storage and handling procedures are applicable without special environmental controls.

Q: Are both parts RoHS and REACH compliant?

A: Yes. Both MSASE042SCG030CWNA01 and KGU02ACG1C3R0CH are ROHS3 Compliant and REACH Unaffected, meeting regulatory requirements for commercial, industrial, and consumer applications.

Q: What is the tolerance specification and its impact on circuit design?

A: Both parts carry ±0.25pF tolerance on the 3 pF capacitance value. This tolerance specification must be evaluated against circuit requirements for frequency stability, impedance matching, and signal integrity in RF and high-frequency applications.
