Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the MSASE31LAB7106MTNA01 is determined by strict equivalence across the following parameters:

Mandatory Matching Parameters:

• Capacitance: 10 µF
• Tolerance: ±20%
• Voltage Rating: 16V
• Temperature Coefficient: X7R
• Operating Temperature Range: -55°C to 125°C
• Package / Case: 1206 (3216 Metric)
• Mounting Type: Surface Mount, MLCC
• Physical Dimensions: 0.126" L x 0.063" W (3.20mm x 1.60mm)
• Thickness (Max): 0.071" (1.80mm)
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: 1 (Unlimited)
• RoHS Status: ROHS3 Compliant

All substitute parts listed below meet these mandatory parameters. Substitutes are categorized into two groups: Upgrade Substitutes (parts with enhanced product status or additional certifications such as AEC-Q200 automotive qualification) and Parametric Equivalents (parts with identical electrical and mechanical specifications but potentially different product status or application focus).

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

For Active Product Status with Current Production:

The MSASE31LAB7106MTNA01 (Taiyo Yuden MSAS series, Active status) is the primary specification. When this part is unavailable, the following Active status alternatives provide direct substitution:

• C1206C106M4RACAUTO (KEMET SMD Auto X7R, Active): Suitable for applications requiring AEC-Q200 automotive qualification. Identical electrical and mechanical parameters with enhanced reliability certification.
• GCM31CR71C106MA64L (Murata Electronics GCM series, Active): Suitable for applications requiring AEC-Q200 automotive qualification. Identical electrical and mechanical parameters with enhanced reliability certification.
• C1206C106M4RAC7800 (KEMET SMD Comm X7R, Active): Suitable for general purpose bypass and decoupling applications. Identical electrical and mechanical parameters without automotive qualification.
• CL31B106MOHNNNE (Samsung Electro-Mechanics CL series, Active): Suitable for general purpose applications. Identical electrical and mechanical parameters. Available in Cut Tape and Digi-Reel packaging options.
• KGM31AR71C106MU (KYOCERA AVX KGM X7R series, Active): Suitable for general purpose applications. Identical electrical and mechanical parameters.

For Designs Transitioning to Automotive Qualification:

If design requirements shift to include automotive-grade components, the following parts provide upgrade paths with AEC-Q200 certification:

• C1206C106M4RACAUTO (KEMET, Active, AEC-Q200)
• GCM31CR71C106MA64L (Murata Electronics, Active, AEC-Q200)

For Legacy or Discontinued Designs:

The following parts carry "Not For New Designs" status and are suitable only for sustaining production or legacy system support:

• EMF316AB7106MLHT (Taiyo Yuden M series, Not For New Designs, AEC-Q200)
• EMK316AB7106MLHT (Taiyo Yuden M series, Not For New Designs, AEC-Q200)
• C3216X7R1C106M160AC (TDK Corporation C series, Not For New Designs)

All listed parts maintain ROHS3 compliance, MSL Level 1 (Unlimited moisture sensitivity), and identical electrical specifications (10 µF ±20% 16V X7R, -55°C to 125°C operating range).

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can I substitute the MSASE31LAB7106MTNA01 with any of the listed parts without PCB redesign?

A: Yes. All listed substitute parts share identical package dimensions (1206 / 3216 Metric), physical size (0.126" L x 0.063" W), and maximum thickness (0.071"). PCB footprints and assembly processes remain unchanged. No PCB redesign is required.

Q: What is the difference between "Upgrade Substitutes" and "Parametric Equivalents"?

A: Upgrade Substitutes include parts with enhanced product status or additional certifications (such as AEC-Q200 automotive qualification) compared to the main part. Parametric Equivalents have identical electrical and mechanical specifications but may differ in product status or application focus. Both categories meet all mandatory matching parameters for direct substitution.

Q: Which substitute should I use if my application requires automotive qualification?

A: Use C1206C106M4RACAUTO (KEMET) or GCM31CR71C106MA64L (Murata Electronics). Both are Active status parts with AEC-Q200 certification. EMF316AB7106MLHT and EMK316AB7106MLHT also carry AEC-Q200 certification but are marked "Not For New Designs."

Q: Are there packaging differences between substitute parts?

A: The main part (MSASE31LAB7106MTNA01) and most substitutes are supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) packaging. CL31B106MOHNNNE (Samsung Electro-Mechanics) is available in Cut Tape (CT) and Digi-Reel packaging options. All other parameters remain identical.

Q: What does "Not For New Designs" status mean?

A: Parts marked "Not For New Designs" are legacy or transitional products still available for sustaining production of existing designs but not recommended for new product development. These parts include EMF316AB7106MLHT, EMK316AB7106MLHT, and C3216X7R1C106M160AC. For new designs, select from Active status alternatives.

Q: Do all substitute parts have the same moisture sensitivity level?

A: Yes. All parts listed, including the main part MSASE31LAB7106MTNA01, have Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL) 1 (Unlimited). This means no special moisture control is required during storage or handling.

Q: Are all substitute parts RoHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. All parts listed are ROHS3 compliant, meeting environmental and hazardous substance restrictions.

Q: What is the operating temperature range for all these parts?

A: All parts operate across the identical temperature range of -55°C to 125°C with X7R temperature coefficient, ensuring stable capacitance performance across this full range.

Q: Can I mix different manufacturers' parts in the same production batch?

A: Yes. All substitute parts meet identical electrical specifications (10 µF ±20% 16V X7R), mechanical dimensions, and compliance standards. Mixing manufacturers is permissible from an engineering standpoint, though procurement and quality control processes should account for supplier-specific documentation and certifications.

Q: Which substitute has the highest inventory availability?

A: CL31B106MOHNNNE (Samsung Electro-Mechanics) has the highest inventory at 705,299 pieces. C3216X7R1C106M160AC (TDK Corporation) has 197,436 pieces. C1206C106M4RAC7800 (KEMET) has 26,606 pieces. Inventory levels should be verified with current suppliers as stock quantities change.
