Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the MSAST042SCG040CWNA01 is determined by strict equivalence across the following electrical and mechanical parameters:

Electrical Parameters:

• Capacitance value: 4 pF
• Tolerance: ±0.25pF
• Rated voltage: 25V
• 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 (Unlimited)

Parts meeting all these criteria are classified as direct parametric equivalents and may be substituted without circuit redesign or board layout modification.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the KGM02ACG1E4R0CH be used as a direct replacement for the MSAST042SCG040CWNA01 without circuit modification?

A: Yes. Both components share identical electrical parameters (4 pF capacitance, ±0.25pF tolerance, 25V rating, C0G/NP0 temperature coefficient) and mechanical specifications (01005 package, identical dimensions and thickness). No circuit redesign is required.

Q: Are there any differences in operating temperature performance between these two parts?

A: No. Both components operate across the identical temperature range of -55°C to 125°C with C0G/NP0 temperature coefficient, ensuring equivalent frequency stability and performance across all operating conditions.

Q: Do both parts require the same PCB footprint and assembly process?

A: Yes. Both components use the 01005 (0402 Metric) package with identical physical dimensions (0.016" L x 0.008" W, 0.40mm x 0.20mm) and maximum thickness (0.009" / 0.22mm). PCB footprints and reflow profiles are interchangeable.

Q: What is the significance of the MSL 1 (Unlimited) rating for both parts?

A: MSL 1 (Unlimited) indicates these components have no moisture sensitivity limitations. They do not require special dry-pack storage, desiccant handling, or bake-out procedures prior to assembly, simplifying inventory management and reducing component preparation time.

Q: Are both parts compliant with current environmental regulations?

A: Yes. Both the MSAST042SCG040CWNA01 and KGM02ACG1E4R0CH are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, meeting current European and international environmental standards for electronic components.

Q: Can these parts be mixed within the same production batch?

A: Yes. Since both parts are parametric equivalents with identical electrical and mechanical specifications, they can be used interchangeably within the same design and production batch without affecting circuit performance or reliability.
