MSASE042SCG050CWNA01 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The MSASE042SCG050CWNA01 is a 5 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 format is designed for general purpose applications requiring stable capacitance across the operating temperature range of -55°C to 125°C. The part maintains Active product 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 identical electrical and mechanical specifications.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the MSASE042SCG050CWNA01 are qualified based on strict parametric equivalence across all critical electrical and mechanical specifications. The substitution logic is based on the following key parameters that must match identically:

• Capacitance Value: 5 pF (exact match required)
• Capacitance Tolerance: ±0.25 pF (exact match required)
• Voltage Rating: 16V (exact match required)
• Temperature Coefficient: C0G/NP0 (exact match required)
• Operating Temperature Range: -55°C to 125°C (exact match required)
• Package Format: 01005 (0402 Metric) (exact match required)
• Mounting Type: Surface Mount, MLCC (exact match required)
• Physical Dimensions: 0.016" L x 0.008" W (0.40mm x 0.20mm) (exact match required)
• Maximum Thickness: 0.009" (0.22mm) (exact match required)
• Compliance Standards: ROHS3 Compliant, REACH Unaffected (exact match required)
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: MSL 1 (Unlimited) (exact match required)

All identified substitute parts meet these criteria and are therefore electrically and mechanically interchangeable with the main part number in circuit applications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All three parts—MSASE042SCG050CWNA01 (Taiyo Yuden), CL02C050CO2GNNC (Samsung Electro-Mechanics), and KGU02ACG1C5R0CH (KYOCERA AVX)—are electrically and mechanically equivalent and maintain Active product status. Each part carries ROHS3 compliance and REACH Unaffected certification, meeting current regulatory requirements for electronic component manufacturing and use.

Selection between these parts is based on:

1. Supply Chain Availability: Current inventory levels vary across manufacturers. KYOCERA AVX KGU02ACG1C5R0CH offers 19,192 pieces in stock, Samsung Electro-Mechanics CL02C050CO2GNNC provides 2,220 pieces, and Taiyo Yuden MSASE042SCG050CWNA01 has 622 pieces available.

2. Packaging Format: Taiyo Yuden and KYOCERA AVX supply in Tape & Reel (TR) format, while Samsung Electro-Mechanics provides Cut Tape (CT) & Digi-Reel® packaging. Packaging selection depends on assembly equipment compatibility and procurement workflow requirements.

3. Manufacturer Preference: Design specifications may require parts from specific manufacturers based on qualification history, supply agreements, or established vendor relationships.

All parts are suitable for general purpose applications and maintain identical electrical performance across the specified operating temperature range.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are these parts truly interchangeable in circuit design?

A: Yes. All three parts meet identical electrical specifications: 5 pF capacitance with ±0.25 pF tolerance, 16V rating, C0G/NP0 temperature coefficient, and -55°C to 125°C operating range. They are mechanically identical in 01005 (0402 Metric) package format with matching physical dimensions and thickness. Direct substitution is supported without circuit modification.

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

A: Tape & Reel (TR) packaging supplies components on continuous carrier tape wound on reels, suitable for high-volume automated assembly. Cut Tape (CT) provides components on shorter tape segments, typically for lower-volume orders or mixed-component procurement. Digi-Reel® is a Samsung proprietary format combining cut tape benefits with reel-based handling. Selection depends on assembly equipment specifications and order quantity requirements.

Q: Do all parts carry the same compliance certifications?

A: Yes. All three parts are ROHS3 Compliant and REACH Unaffected, meeting current environmental and regulatory standards for electronic components. Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL) is 1 (Unlimited) for all parts, indicating no special moisture handling requirements during storage or assembly.

Q: Can I mix parts from different manufacturers in the same production run?

A: Yes. Since all parts are parametrically equivalent with identical electrical and mechanical specifications, they can be used interchangeably within the same circuit design and production batch. However, procurement and quality control procedures should document which manufacturer's part is used in specific units if traceability is required.

Q: What is the significance of the C0G/NP0 temperature coefficient designation?

A: C0G (IEC standard) and NP0 (EIA standard) are equivalent designations indicating near-zero temperature coefficient performance. This means capacitance remains stable across the -55°C to 125°C operating range, making these parts suitable for precision timing circuits, RF applications, and temperature-sensitive analog circuits where capacitance drift must be minimized.

Q: Are there any application-specific differences between these manufacturers' parts?

A: The KYOCERA AVX KGU02ACG1C5R0CH is specified for RF, Microwave, and High Frequency applications with High Q and Low Loss characteristics. The Taiyo Yuden MSASE042SCG050CWNA01 and Samsung Electro-Mechanics CL02C050CO2GNNC are designated for general purpose applications. For RF and high-frequency circuits, the KYOCERA AVX part may offer optimized performance characteristics, though all three parts meet the same electrical specifications.
