MSAST063SCG241JFNA01 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The MSAST063SCG241JFNA01 is a 240 pF ceramic capacitor manufactured by Taiyo Yuden, rated for 25V operation with C0G/NP0 temperature coefficient characteristics. This surface mount multilayer ceramic capacitor (MLCC) is packaged in 0201 (0603 Metric) form factor and is designed for general purpose applications requiring stable capacitance across the operating temperature range of -55°C to 125°C.

The primary part is currently in Active product status with 1065 pieces available in inventory. Substitute parts are identified to provide alternative sourcing options when the primary part becomes unavailable or when design requirements necessitate alternative packaging configurations.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the MSAST063SCG241JFNA01 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Electrical Parameters:

• Capacitance value: 240 pF
• Tolerance: ±5%
• Voltage rating: 25V
• Temperature coefficient: C0G/NP0

Mechanical Parameters:

• Package type: 0201 (0603 Metric)
• Physical dimensions: 0.024" L x 0.012" W (0.60mm x 0.30mm)
• Maximum thickness: 0.013" (0.33mm)
• Mounting type: Surface Mount, MLCC

Compliance Parameters:

• RoHS3 compliance
• Moisture Sensitivity Level 1
• REACH Unaffected status

The identified substitute part TMK063CG241JT-F meets all electrical, mechanical, and compliance requirements. The primary distinction between the main part and substitute is the packaging configuration (Tape & Reel versus Cut Tape & Digi-Reel®) and product lifecycle status.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Part Selection: The MSAST063SCG241JFNA01 is the recommended selection for new designs. This part maintains Active product status from Taiyo Yuden, ensuring long-term availability and continued manufacturing support. The Tape & Reel packaging configuration is optimized for high-volume automated assembly processes.

Substitute Part Selection: The TMK063CG241JT-F is electrically and mechanically equivalent and maintains full compliance with ROHS3 and REACH requirements. However, this part carries a "Not For New Designs" designation, indicating it is in the mature or end-of-life phase of its product lifecycle. Selection of this substitute is appropriate only when the primary part is unavailable and existing inventory requirements must be fulfilled.

The packaging difference (Cut Tape & Digi-Reel® versus Tape & Reel) may impact assembly line compatibility and should be evaluated against specific production equipment capabilities.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can TMK063CG241JT-F be used as a direct replacement for MSAST063SCG241JFNA01 in new product designs?

A: TMK063CG241JT-F meets all electrical and mechanical specifications for functional equivalence. However, the "Not For New Designs" status indicates this part is not recommended for new development. The MSAST063SCG241JFNA01 should be specified for new designs to ensure long-term supply chain stability.

Q: What is the difference between Tape & Reel and Cut Tape & Digi-Reel® packaging?

A: Tape & Reel (TR) packaging provides components on continuous carrier tape wound on a reel, optimized for automated pick-and-place assembly. Cut Tape (CT) & Digi-Reel® provides components on cut tape segments with optional reel packaging. Assembly equipment compatibility varies by configuration; verify your production equipment specifications before substituting packaging types.

Q: Are the electrical characteristics identical between these two parts?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical capacitance (240 pF), tolerance (±5%), voltage rating (25V), temperature coefficient (C0G/NP0), and operating temperature range (-55°C to 125°C). Physical dimensions and mounting characteristics are also identical.

Q: Do both parts meet the same compliance standards?

A: Yes. Both MSAST063SCG241JFNA01 and TMK063CG241JT-F are ROHS3 compliant, REACH Unaffected, and carry Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 (Unlimited) ratings.

Q: Which part should I specify if both are available?

A: Specify MSAST063SCG241JFNA01 for all applications. This part's Active status ensures continued manufacturing support and supply chain availability. TMK063CG241JT-F should be used only when the primary part is unavailable and immediate component sourcing is required.
