MSASE042SCG360JWNA01 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The MSASE042SCG360JWNA01 is a 36 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 designed for general-purpose applications requiring stable capacitance across the operating temperature range of -55°C to 125°C.

The main part is currently in Active product status. Identifying equivalent and substitute parts is necessary for supply chain continuity, design flexibility, and procurement optimization when the primary manufacturer part becomes unavailable or when alternative sourcing is required.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the MSASE042SCG360JWNA01 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Electrical Parameters:

• Capacitance value: 36 pF
• Tolerance: ±5%
• Voltage rating: 16V
• Temperature coefficient: C0G/NP0

Mechanical Parameters:

• Package type: 01005 (0402 Metric)
• Mounting type: Surface Mount, MLCC
• Physical dimensions: 0.016" L x 0.008" W (0.40mm x 0.20mm)
• Maximum thickness: 0.009" (0.22mm)

Compliance Parameters:

• RoHS3 Compliance
• REACH Unaffected status
• Moisture Sensitivity Level 1

Parts meeting all these criteria are classified as direct parametric equivalents and may be substituted in applications where the MSASE042SCG360JWNA01 is specified. Packaging format (Tape & Reel versus Cut Tape) does not affect electrical or mechanical compatibility and represents a procurement variation only.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

MSASE042SCG360JWNA01 (Taiyo Yuden) is the primary selection for new designs and ongoing production. This part maintains Active product status, ensuring long-term availability and manufacturer support. It is supplied in Tape & Reel packaging, which is standard for automated assembly operations.

C0402C0G1C360J (TDK Corporation) is a parametric equivalent that meets all electrical, mechanical, and compliance requirements. However, this part carries Obsolete product status, indicating that TDK has discontinued active manufacturing and support. The part is available from existing inventory (18,939 pieces in stock), making it suitable for legacy system maintenance, repair operations, or short-term procurement needs where existing stock is accessible.

The packaging format difference (Tape & Reel versus Cut Tape) does not affect electrical performance or mechanical fit. Selection between these formats depends on assembly process requirements and inventory management practices.

For new product development, MSASE042SCG360JWNA01 is the recommended choice due to Active status. For applications requiring immediate substitution or legacy system support, C0402C0G1C360J provides full parametric compatibility.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can C0402C0G1C360J be used as a direct replacement for MSASE042SCG360JWNA01?

A: Yes. Both parts are parametric equivalents with identical electrical specifications (36 pF, ±5%, 16V, C0G/NP0), identical mechanical dimensions (01005/0402 Metric package), and identical compliance certifications (ROHS3, REACH Unaffected, MSL 1). They are electrically and mechanically interchangeable.

Q: What is the significance of the Obsolete product status for C0402C0G1C360J?

A: Obsolete status indicates that TDK has discontinued active manufacturing of this part. While existing inventory is available, future procurement may become difficult or impossible. This part is suitable for repair and maintenance of existing systems but should not be selected for new product designs requiring long-term component availability.

Q: Does the packaging format difference (Tape & Reel versus Cut Tape) affect compatibility?

A: No. Packaging format is a procurement and logistics consideration only. It does not affect electrical performance, mechanical fit, or assembly compatibility. The choice between Tape & Reel and Cut Tape depends on assembly equipment capabilities and inventory management practices.

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

A: No. Both parts are ROHS3 Compliant, REACH Unaffected, and carry identical Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 ratings. They meet the same regulatory and environmental standards.

Q: What parameters must remain identical for substitution to be valid?

A: Capacitance (36 pF), tolerance (±5%), voltage rating (16V), temperature coefficient (C0G/NP0), operating temperature range (-55°C to 125°C), package type (01005/0402 Metric), and mounting type (Surface Mount, MLCC) must all remain identical. Any deviation in these parameters invalidates the substitution.

Q: Can these parts be used in high-frequency or RF applications?

A: The provided specifications do not include frequency response, Q factor, or RF performance data. Selection for high-frequency applications requires additional technical parameters not included in this reference.
