Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the MSASE042SCG240JWNA01 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Electrical Parameters: Capacitance value (24 pF), tolerance (±5%), voltage rating (16V), and temperature coefficient (C0G/NP0) must be identical. These parameters ensure functional compatibility in circuit applications.

Physical Parameters: Package designation (01005 / 0402 Metric), mounting type (Surface Mount, MLCC), and physical dimensions (0.016" L x 0.008" W, 0.009" max thickness) must match to ensure compatibility with printed circuit board layouts and assembly processes.

Environmental & Compliance Parameters: Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL 1), RoHS3 compliance, and REACH unaffected status must be maintained to satisfy manufacturing and regulatory requirements.

Operating Conditions: Operating temperature range (-55°C to 125°C) must be supported by substitute parts to ensure performance across specified environmental conditions.

Substitute parts meeting all these criteria are considered parametric equivalents and direct functional replacements.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The C0402C0G1C240J manufactured by TDK Corporation is a parametric equivalent to the MSASE042SCG240JWNA01. Both parts satisfy identical electrical, physical, and environmental specifications.

Product Status Consideration: The MSASE042SCG240JWNA01 maintains Active status with 695 units in stock, while the C0402C0G1C240J is listed as Obsolete with 19,024 units available. Selection between these parts should prioritize the Active status part for new designs and long-term supply chain stability. The Obsolete part may be suitable for legacy system maintenance or short-term requirements where existing inventory is available.

Compliance & Certification: Both parts are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, satisfying regulatory requirements for industrial and commercial applications. Both maintain MSL 1 rating, indicating no moisture sensitivity constraints during storage and handling.

Packaging Consideration: The main part is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) format, while the substitute is supplied in Cut Tape (CT) format. Packaging selection depends on assembly process requirements and volume considerations. TR packaging is standard for automated pick-and-place assembly, while CT packaging is suitable for manual assembly or lower-volume applications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the C0402C0G1C240J be used as a direct replacement for the MSASE042SCG240JWNA01?

A: Yes. Both parts are parametric equivalents with identical capacitance (24 pF), tolerance (±5%), voltage rating (16V), temperature coefficient (C0G/NP0), operating temperature range (-55°C to 125°C), and physical dimensions (01005 / 0402 Metric package). They are functionally interchangeable in circuit applications.

Q: What is the difference between the packaging formats (Tape & Reel vs. Cut Tape)?

A: Tape & Reel (TR) packaging supplies components on continuous carrier tape wound on reels, optimized for automated assembly equipment. Cut Tape (CT) packaging supplies components on cut segments of carrier tape, suitable for manual assembly or lower-volume production. Both formats contain the same component; packaging selection depends on assembly process requirements.

Q: Why is the TDK part listed as Obsolete?

A: Product status reflects manufacturer lifecycle management. Obsolete status indicates the manufacturer has discontinued active production. However, existing inventory may remain available through distribution channels. For new designs, the Active status MSASE042SCG240JWNA01 is recommended to ensure long-term supply availability.

Q: Are there any temperature or voltage derating considerations between these parts?

A: No. Both parts operate identically across the specified temperature range (-55°C to 125°C) and voltage rating (16V). No derating adjustments are required when substituting between these parts.

Q: Do both parts meet the same regulatory and compliance standards?

A: Yes. Both parts are ROHS3 compliant, REACH unaffected, and carry MSL 1 rating. They satisfy identical environmental and regulatory requirements for industrial and commercial applications.

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. This characteristic is essential for precision applications requiring consistent capacitance performance across temperature variations.
