Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the MSASH31LSB7683KTNA01 is determined by strict equivalence across the following electrical and mechanical parameters:

Electrical Parameters:

• Capacitance value: 0.068 µF
• Tolerance: ±10%
• Voltage rating: 100V
• Temperature coefficient: X7R
• Operating temperature range: -55°C ~ 125°C

Mechanical Parameters:

• Package type: 1206 (3216 Metric)
• Mounting type: Surface Mount, MLCC
• Physical dimensions: 0.126" L x 0.063" W (3.20mm x 1.60mm)
• Maximum thickness: 0.071" (1.80mm)

Compliance Parameters:

• RoHS3 compliance
• MSL 1 rating

Substitute parts are categorized as follows:

Upgrade Substitutes: Parts with identical electrical and mechanical specifications but enhanced product qualifications (automotive AEC-Q200 rating) or alternative packaging formats. These parts are suitable for direct replacement with consideration of product lifecycle status.

Parametric Equivalents: Parts with identical electrical and mechanical specifications from alternative manufacturers. These parts meet all functional requirements and are suitable for applications where manufacturer diversity is acceptable.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

For Active Product Continuation: The MSASH31LSB7683KTNA01 maintains Active product status and is the preferred selection for new designs requiring general purpose ceramic capacitor functionality with standard compliance requirements.

For Automotive Applications: HMK316B7683KLHT (Taiyo Yuden) and CGA5L2X7R2A683K160AA (TDK Corporation) are qualified to AEC-Q200 automotive standards. These parts are suitable for automotive and SMPS filtering applications. Both parts carry "Not For New Designs" status, indicating they remain available for existing design support but are not recommended for new automotive program initiation.

For Parametric Equivalence Without Automotive Qualification: C3216X7R2A683K160AA and C3216X7R2A683K160AM (TDK Corporation) provide parametric equivalence for general purpose applications. Both parts are classified as "Not For New Designs," indicating availability for legacy design support. C3216X7R2A683K160AM includes Open Mode failure characteristic specification.

For Packaging Format Alternatives: CGJ5L2X7R2A683K160AA (TDK Corporation) is available in Cut Tape (CT) format instead of Tape & Reel (TR). This part is classified as Obsolete and carries AEC-Q200 automotive qualification. Cut Tape format may be suitable for lower-volume or manual assembly operations.

Compliance Verification: All listed substitute parts maintain ROHS3 compliance and MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity rating, ensuring compatibility with standard manufacturing and storage requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can HMK316B7683KLHT be used as a direct replacement for MSASH31LSB7683KTNA01?

A: Yes. HMK316B7683KLHT is electrically and mechanically equivalent with identical capacitance (0.068 µF), voltage rating (100V), temperature coefficient (X7R), package (1206), and compliance specifications. The primary difference is AEC-Q200 automotive qualification and "Not For New Designs" product status. Direct substitution is feasible for existing designs.

Q: What is the difference between Tape & Reel (TR) and Cut Tape (CT) packaging?

A: Tape & Reel (TR) packaging provides continuous reel format suitable for automated high-volume assembly. Cut Tape (CT) packaging provides individual tape segments suitable for lower-volume or manual assembly operations. Both formats contain identical components; packaging format selection depends on assembly process requirements.

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

A: "Not For New Designs" status indicates that while parts remain available for existing design support and legacy applications, manufacturers do not recommend their use in new product development. These parts may have limited production roadmaps or are being phased out in favor of newer alternatives. For new designs, the Active status MSASH31LSB7683KTNA01 is the preferred selection.

Q: Is CGJ5L2X7R2A683K160AA suitable for new designs?

A: No. CGJ5L2X7R2A683K160AA is classified as Obsolete, indicating discontinued production and unavailability for new applications. This part should not be selected for new designs. Use MSASH31LSB7683KTNA01 (Active status) or other "Not For New Designs" parts only for legacy design support.

Q: Are all substitute parts ROHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. All listed substitute parts maintain ROHS3 compliance, ensuring compatibility with environmental and regulatory requirements equivalent to the primary part MSASH31LSB7683KTNA01.

Q: Can I substitute a part with different capacitance or voltage rating?

A: No. Substitution requires exact equivalence in capacitance (0.068 µF), voltage rating (100V), and temperature coefficient (X7R). Parts with different electrical specifications are not interchangeable and will not function identically in the circuit.

Q: What does MSL 1 (Unlimited) mean?

A: MSL 1 (Unlimited) indicates that the component has unlimited shelf life and does not require special moisture control during storage or handling. This rating applies to all listed parts and ensures standard storage and manufacturing conditions are acceptable.

Q: Are TDK Corporation parts compatible with Taiyo Yuden designs?

A: Yes, provided all electrical and mechanical parameters are identical. C3216X7R2A683K160AA, C3216X7R2A683K160AM, CGA5L2X7R2A683K160AA, and CGJ5L2X7R2A683K160AA are parametrically equivalent to MSASH31LSB7683KTNA01. Cross-manufacturer substitution is feasible when specifications match exactly.
