MSASE042SCG331JWNA01 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The MSASE042SCG331JWNA01 is a 330 pF ceramic capacitor manufactured by Taiyo Yuden, rated for 16V operation with C0G/NP0 temperature coefficient characteristics. This surface mount multilayer ceramic capacitor (MLCC) is packaged in 01005 (0402 Metric) form factor and is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) packaging. The part maintains Active product status with 683 pieces currently in stock.

Equivalent and substitute parts become necessary when Tape & Reel packaging is unavailable, when alternative product series are required for design flexibility, or when inventory constraints necessitate sourcing from alternative part numbers that maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the MSASE042SCG331JWNA01 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Electrical Parameters (Must Match Exactly):

• Capacitance: 330 pF
• Tolerance: ±5%
• Voltage Rating: 16V
• Temperature Coefficient: C0G, NP0
• Operating Temperature Range: -55°C ~ 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)

Packaging format (Tape & Reel versus Cut Tape) and product series designation do not affect electrical or mechanical compatibility. Substitute parts may differ in packaging configuration and product status classification while maintaining full functional equivalence.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

MSASE042SCG331JWNA01 (Primary Selection): The MSASE042SCG331JWNA01 maintains Active product status and is the preferred selection for new designs. This part is supplied in Tape & Reel packaging, which is standard for automated assembly operations. Current inventory of 683 pieces supports production requirements for active programs.

EMK042CG331JC-W (Alternative Selection): The EMK042CG331JC-W is electrically and mechanically identical to the primary part and is suitable for direct substitution in existing designs or legacy applications. This part carries "Not For New Designs" status, indicating it is maintained for existing customer support only. The substitute is supplied in Cut Tape packaging format, which may require manual handling or alternative assembly processes. Significantly higher inventory availability (22,176 pieces) makes this part suitable for high-volume legacy production or when Tape & Reel format is unavailable.

Both parts are ROHS3 Compliant and REACH Unaffected, meeting current regulatory requirements. Selection between these parts should be based on packaging format requirements and product lifecycle status of the target application.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can EMK042CG331JC-W be used as a direct replacement for MSASE042SCG331JWNA01?

A: Yes. Both parts are electrically and mechanically identical. They share identical capacitance (330 pF), tolerance (±5%), voltage rating (16V), temperature coefficient (C0G/NP0), operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 125°C), package type (01005/0402 Metric), and physical dimensions. The only differences are packaging format (Cut Tape versus Tape & Reel) and product status classification.

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

A: Tape & Reel packaging supplies components on continuous carrier tape wound on a reel, suitable for automated pick-and-place assembly equipment. Cut Tape packaging supplies the same components on shorter tape segments, typically requiring manual handling or alternative feeding mechanisms. Both formats contain identical components with no electrical or mechanical differences.

Q: Why is EMK042CG331JC-W marked "Not For New Designs"?

A: This designation indicates the part is in mature or end-of-life status within the manufacturer's product portfolio. The part remains available for existing customer applications and legacy production support. For new design projects, MSASE042SCG331JWNA01 (Active status) is the recommended selection.

Q: Are there any compliance or regulatory differences between these parts?

A: No. Both parts are ROHS3 Compliant, REACH Unaffected, and carry identical ECCN (EAR99) and HTSUS (8532.24.0020) classifications. They meet identical regulatory and environmental standards.

Q: Can these parts be used interchangeably in automated assembly?

A: MSASE042SCG331JWNA01 in Tape & Reel format is directly compatible with standard automated pick-and-place equipment. EMK042CG331JC-W in Cut Tape format requires alternative feeding mechanisms or manual component placement. Verify assembly equipment compatibility with your packaging format before selection.

Q: What is Moisture Sensitivity Level 1?

A: MSL 1 indicates unlimited shelf life with no moisture sensitivity restrictions. These parts do not require special moisture-controlled storage, desiccant packaging, or bake-out procedures prior to assembly.
