MSASH168SSD221KTNA01 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The MSASH168SSD221KTNA01 is a 220 pF ±10% 100V ceramic capacitor in 0603 (1608 Metric) surface mount package manufactured by Taiyo Yuden. This multilayer ceramic capacitor (MLCC) is classified as Active product status and is suitable for general purpose applications. The part is ROHS3 compliant with MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity rating.

Substitute parts become necessary when the primary part experiences supply constraints, inventory limitations, or when design requirements permit alternative dielectric materials or manufacturers while maintaining electrical and mechanical compatibility.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the MSASH168SSD221KTNA01 is determined by strict equivalence across the following parameters:

Critical Matching Parameters:

• Capacitance: 220 pF
• Tolerance: ±10%
• Voltage Rating: 100V
• Package: 0603 (1608 Metric)
• Physical Dimensions: 0.063" L x 0.031" W (1.60mm x 0.80mm)
• Thickness: 0.035" (0.90mm) maximum
• Mounting Type: Surface Mount, MLCC
• Operating Temperature Range: -55°C ~ 125°C
• RoHS Compliance: ROHS3 Compliant
• MSL Rating: 1 (Unlimited)

All substitute parts listed maintain these electrical and mechanical specifications. Variations in temperature coefficient (dielectric material type) do not affect substitutability when all other parameters remain equivalent. The substitute parts differ only in manufacturer and internal dielectric composition, which do not impact form, fit, or function within the specified parameter envelope.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Active Product Status: The CC0603KRX7R0BB221 (YAGEO) maintains Active product status and is the preferred substitute when continuous supply and long-term availability are required. This part is suitable for new designs and ongoing production.

Not For New Designs Status: The C1608C0G2A221K080AA (TDK Corporation), CL10B221KC85PNC (Samsung Electro-Mechanics), and GRM188R72A221KA01D (Murata Electronics) are designated as Not For New Designs. These parts are suitable for replacement, repair, and legacy system support only. Selection of these parts should be limited to applications where the original part number cannot be sourced or where existing inventory must be utilized.

Compliance Equivalence: All substitute parts maintain ROHS3 compliance and MSL 1 (Unlimited) rating, ensuring regulatory and environmental compatibility with the original part. All parts carry REACH Unaffected status and EAR99 ECCN classification.

Automotive Qualification: The CL10B221KC85PNC includes AEC-Q200 automotive qualification rating and Open Mode failure feature designation, making it suitable for automotive applications where the original part may not carry such certifications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the CC0603KRX7R0BB221 directly replace the MSASH168SSD221KTNA01?

A: Yes. Both parts are 220 pF ±10% 100V ceramic capacitors in 0603 (1608 Metric) package with identical physical dimensions, operating temperature range, and compliance ratings. The CC0603KRX7R0BB221 maintains Active product status and is suitable for new designs.

Q: What is the difference between the temperature coefficient designations (C0G/NP0 versus X7R)?

A: Temperature coefficient indicates the dielectric material type. C0G (NP0) provides superior temperature stability with minimal capacitance variation across the operating range. X7R provides acceptable stability for general purpose applications with slightly greater capacitance variation. Both meet the -55°C ~ 125°C operating temperature specification. Selection depends on circuit requirements for capacitance stability.

Q: Why are some substitute parts marked "Not For New Designs"?

A: Parts designated "Not For New Designs" indicate that the manufacturer has discontinued active promotion or development of these products. These parts remain available for replacement and repair of existing systems but should not be selected for new product development. The CC0603KRX7R0BB221 (YAGEO) is the recommended choice for new designs.

Q: Are all substitute parts physically identical to the original?

A: Yes. All substitute parts share identical package designation (0603 / 1608 Metric), physical dimensions (0.063" L x 0.031" W), and maximum thickness (0.035" / 0.90mm). They are mechanically interchangeable on printed circuit boards designed for 0603 surface mount components.

Q: Do the substitute parts have the same moisture sensitivity rating?

A: Yes. All substitute parts carry MSL 1 (Unlimited) rating, identical to the original MSASH168SSD221KTNA01. This indicates unlimited shelf life under normal storage conditions without baking requirements.

Q: Which substitute part should be selected for automotive applications?

A: The CL10B221KC85PNC (Samsung Electro-Mechanics) carries AEC-Q200 automotive qualification and is designated for automotive applications. This part is suitable when automotive-grade certification is required.
