MSASH32MSC7475MPCA01 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The MSASH32MSC7475MPCA01 is a 4.7 µF ceramic capacitor rated at 100V with X7S temperature coefficient, manufactured by Taiyo Yuden in 1210 (3225 Metric) package format. This multilayer ceramic capacitor (MLCC) is designed for general-purpose applications and is currently in active product status with 735 units available in inventory.

Substitute parts become necessary when the primary part reaches end-of-life status, inventory constraints occur, or when design requirements shift toward components with enhanced certifications such as AEC-Q200 automotive qualification. The substitute parts listed maintain identical electrical specifications and mechanical dimensions while offering alternative packaging configurations or enhanced application ratings.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the MSASH32MSC7475MPCA01 is determined by strict equivalence across the following parameters:

Mandatory Matching Parameters:

• Capacitance: 4.7 µF
• Voltage Rating: 100V
• Temperature Coefficient: X7S
• Package / Case: 1210 (3225 Metric)
• Mounting Type: Surface Mount, MLCC
• Tolerance: ±20%
• Operating Temperature Range: -55°C ~ 125°C
• RoHS Status: ROHS3 Compliant
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: 1 (Unlimited)

Variable Parameters (Allowed to Differ):

• Packaging format (Tape & Reel vs. Cut Tape & Digi-Reel)
• Product status (Active vs. Not For New Designs)
• Application focus (General Purpose vs. Automotive/SMPS Filtering)
• Ratings (presence or absence of AEC-Q200 certification)
• Manufacturer series designation

The two substitute parts identified—HMK325C7475MMHPE and HMK325C7475MM-PE—both satisfy all mandatory matching parameters while differing in packaging configuration and product lifecycle status.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Part Selection (MSASH32MSC7475MPCA01): The MSASH32MSC7475MPCA01 is the recommended choice for new designs due to its active product status. This part carries no lifecycle restrictions and is suitable for long-term production commitments. It is packaged in Tape & Reel format, standard for high-volume automated assembly operations.

Substitute Selection Criteria:

HMK325C7475MMHPE is suitable for applications requiring automotive-grade reliability. This part carries AEC-Q200 certification, indicating qualification for automotive environments. However, its "Not For New Designs" status indicates Taiyo Yuden is transitioning this part toward obsolescence. Selection of this substitute is appropriate only when existing designs require AEC-Q200 compliance or when automotive application requirements mandate this certification. Tape & Reel packaging maintains compatibility with standard assembly processes.

HMK325C7475MM-PE is suitable for applications where Cut Tape and Digi-Reel packaging is acceptable or preferred. This part offers the highest current inventory (1579 units) and is appropriate for lower-volume production runs or prototype applications where reel-based packaging is not required. Like HMK325C7475MMHPE, this part carries "Not For New Designs" status and should not be selected for new product development unless inventory constraints on the primary part necessitate substitution.

Compliance Considerations: All three parts maintain ROHS3 compliance and identical electrical specifications. Selection between them should be driven by packaging requirements, product lifecycle status, and application-specific certifications rather than electrical performance.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can HMK325C7475MMHPE be used as a direct replacement for MSASH32MSC7475MPCA01?

A: Yes, HMK325C7475MMHPE is electrically and mechanically equivalent. Both parts share identical capacitance (4.7 µF), voltage rating (100V), temperature coefficient (X7S), package dimensions (1210/3225 Metric), and operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 125°C). The primary difference is product lifecycle status; HMK325C7475MMHPE is marked "Not For New Designs," indicating Taiyo Yuden recommends the MSASH32MSC7475MPCA01 for new product development.

Q: What is the difference between HMK325C7475MMHPE and HMK325C7475MM-PE?

A: Both parts are electrically identical with matching capacitance, voltage, temperature coefficient, and package specifications. The primary differences are packaging format and inventory availability. HMK325C7475MMHPE is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) format, while HMK325C7475MM-PE is supplied in Cut Tape (CT) & Digi-Reel® format. HMK325C7475MM-PE has higher current inventory (1579 units vs. 920 units).

Q: Why does HMK325C7475MMHPE have AEC-Q200 rating while the other parts do not?

A: AEC-Q200 is an automotive qualification standard. HMK325C7475MMHPE is specifically qualified for automotive applications, while MSASH32MSC7475MPCA01 and HMK325C7475MM-PE are general-purpose or SMPS-focused variants. Selection of the AEC-Q200 rated part is necessary only when automotive environment qualification is a design requirement.

Q: Can I use HMK325C7475MM-PE in high-volume production?

A: HMK325C7475MM-PE is supplied in Cut Tape (CT) & Digi-Reel® format rather than standard Tape & Reel. This packaging is suitable for lower-volume production or prototype applications. For high-volume automated assembly, Tape & Reel format (MSASH32MSC7475MPCA01 or HMK325C7475MMHPE) is the standard choice.

Q: Are all three parts RoHS3 compliant?

A: Yes, all three parts—MSASH32MSC7475MPCA01, HMK325C7475MMHPE, and HMK325C7475MM-PE—are ROHS3 compliant and carry Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 (Unlimited), indicating no special handling requirements during storage or assembly.

Q: What does "Not For New Designs" mean for the substitute parts?

A: "Not For New Designs" indicates that Taiyo Yuden is in the process of discontinuing these parts. While they remain available for purchase and are functionally equivalent, they should not be selected for new product development. The MSASH32MSC7475MPCA01, marked as "Active," is the recommended choice for designs with long-term production requirements.

Q: Will substituting these parts require PCB layout changes?

A: No. All three parts share identical package dimensions (1210/3225 Metric) with matching length (0.126" / 3.20mm), width (0.098" / 2.50mm), and maximum thickness (0.106" / 2.70mm). PCB footprints and assembly processes remain unchanged.
