MSASE042SCG200JWNA01 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The MSASE042SCG200JWNA01 is a 20 pF ceramic capacitor manufactured by Taiyo Yuden, rated at 16V 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 temperature ranges from -55°C to 125°C. The part is currently in active production status with RoHS3 compliance and unlimited moisture sensitivity level (MSL 1).

Equivalent and substitute parts become necessary when the primary part experiences supply constraints, inventory limitations, or when design flexibility permits the use of alternative manufacturers' components that meet identical electrical and mechanical specifications.

• Tolerance: ±5%
• Voltage Rating: 16V
• Temperature Coefficient: C0G/NP0
• Operating Temperature Range: -55°C to 125°C

Mechanical Parameters (Must Match Exactly):

• Package / Case: 01005 (0402 Metric)
• Physical Dimensions: 0.016" L x 0.008" W (0.40mm x 0.20mm)
• Thickness (Max): 0.009" (0.22mm)
• Mounting Type: Surface Mount, MLCC

Compliance Parameters (Must Match Exactly):

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

All substitute parts listed meet these criteria across different manufacturers and packaging configurations.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Selection (Active Status): The MSASE042SCG200JWNA01 remains the preferred choice for new designs. This part is in active production status, ensuring long-term availability and supply chain stability. It is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) packaging, which is standard for high-volume manufacturing operations.

Secondary Selection (Not For New Designs): The EMK042CG200JC-W is a parametric equivalent manufactured by Taiyo Yuden. While all electrical and mechanical specifications are identical, this part carries a "Not For New Designs" status, indicating it is in the later stages of its product lifecycle. This part is available in Cut Tape (CT) packaging. Use of this substitute is appropriate only when the primary part is unavailable and existing inventory must be supplemented for ongoing production of established designs.

Tertiary Selection (Obsolete Status): The C0402C0G1C200J manufactured by TDK Corporation is electrically and mechanically equivalent but is classified as obsolete. This part should not be selected for new designs or ongoing production. It may be considered only for repair or rework of legacy equipment where no other alternatives are available. This part is available in Cut Tape (CT) and Digi-Reel® packaging options.

Compliance Assurance: All three parts maintain identical RoHS3 compliance, REACH unaffected status, and MSL 1 (unlimited) moisture sensitivity level, ensuring regulatory and environmental compliance across all substitution scenarios.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can EMK042CG200JC-W be used as a direct replacement for MSASE042SCG200JWNA01?

A: Yes. The EMK042CG200JC-W is a parametric equivalent with identical capacitance (20 pF), tolerance (±5%), voltage rating (16V), temperature coefficient (C0G/NP0), operating temperature range (-55°C to 125°C), package dimensions (01005/0402 Metric), and compliance certifications. The only differences are manufacturer series designation, product status (Not For New Designs), and packaging format (Cut Tape versus Tape & Reel).

Q: Why is C0402C0G1C200J listed as obsolete?

A: The C0402C0G1C200J has reached end-of-life status with TDK Corporation. While the part remains electrically and mechanically equivalent, it is no longer in active production. Inventory availability is limited, and future supply cannot be guaranteed.

Q: What is the difference between Tape & Reel and Cut Tape packaging?

A: Tape & Reel (TR) packaging supplies components on continuous carrier tape wound on reels, suitable for automated pick-and-place assembly in high-volume manufacturing. Cut Tape (CT) packaging provides components on cut segments of carrier tape, typically used for lower-volume applications or manual assembly. Both packaging formats contain identical components; the difference is in delivery and handling format.

Q: Are there any thermal or electrical performance differences between these three parts?

A: No. All three parts share identical operating temperature range (-55°C to 125°C), temperature coefficient (C0G/NP0), capacitance value (20 pF), tolerance (±5%), and voltage rating (16V). Thermal and electrical performance is equivalent across all three options.

Q: Can these parts be used interchangeably on the same printed circuit board assembly?

A: Yes, provided the circuit board design accommodates the physical dimensions of the 01005 (0402 Metric) package. All three parts have identical footprints: 0.016" L x 0.008" W (0.40mm x 0.20mm) with maximum thickness of 0.009" (0.22mm). No design modifications are required for substitution.

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

A: C0G (also designated NP0) indicates a temperature coefficient of 0 ppm/°C, meaning capacitance remains stable across the operating temperature range of -55°C to 125°C. This characteristic is essential for applications requiring predictable capacitance performance across temperature variations.

Q: Are all three parts RoHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. MSASE042SCG200JWNA01, EMK042CG200JC-W, and C0402C0G1C200J are all ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, meeting current environmental and regulatory requirements for electronic component manufacturing and use.

Q: What does MSL 1 (Unlimited) mean?

A: Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 (Unlimited) indicates that the component has no moisture sensitivity restrictions. These parts do not require special moisture-controlled storage, handling, or baking procedures prior to assembly, simplifying supply chain management and manufacturing logistics.
