Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts are classified into two categories based on their relationship to the main part:

Upgrade Substitutes are direct replacements with enhanced specifications or certifications:

AEC-Q200 automotive qualification
Alternative packaging formats (Cut Tape & Digi-Reel® vs. Tape & Reel)
Higher inventory availability
Identical electrical and mechanical parameters

Parametric Equivalents share all critical electrical and mechanical specifications:

Capacitance: 10 µF
Tolerance: ±10%
Voltage Rating: 25V
Temperature Coefficient: X7R
Operating Temperature: -55°C ~ 125°C
Package: 1206 (3216 Metric)
Physical dimensions: 0.126" L x 0.063" W x 0.071" max thickness
Surface mount MLCC mounting type
ROHS3 compliance
MSL 1 rating

All substitute parts maintain identical electrical performance and physical footprint compatibility with the original MSAST31LAB7106KTNA01.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

For Automotive Applications: Select C1206C106K3RACAUTO (KEMET) or CL31B106KAHVPNE (Samsung Electro-Mechanics) when AEC-Q200 qualification is required. Both parts are Active status with automotive-grade certification and provide higher inventory availability than the original part.

For General Purpose Applications: CL31B106KAHNFNE (Samsung Electro-Mechanics) offers the highest inventory level (462,762 pcs) with Active product status and identical electrical specifications. C3216X7R1E106K160AB (TDK Corporation) provides 308,074 pcs in stock with Active status and documented Low ESL feature.

For Packaging Flexibility: Cut Tape & Digi-Reel® packaging is available from KEMET, Samsung Electro-Mechanics, TDK Corporation, and YAGEO. Tape & Reel packaging is available from Taiyo Yuden, Murata Electronics, YAGEO, and Samsung Electro-Mechanics (CL31B106KAHZW6E).

Avoid for New Designs: GRT31CR71E106KE13L (Murata Electronics) carries "Not For New Designs" product status and should not be selected for new development projects.

For Boardflex Sensitive Applications: CL31B106KAHZW6E (Samsung Electro-Mechanics) includes Soft Termination feature and is designated for Boardflex Sensitive applications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
