Engineering Selection Recommendations

TMK042CG060BD-W (Taiyo Yuden Upgrade)

This part represents an upgrade option within the Taiyo Yuden M-series line. It maintains identical electrical and mechanical specifications to the TMK042CG060CD-W while offering improved tolerance (±0.1pF versus ±0.25pF). Both parts carry "Not For New Designs" status. The primary difference is packaging format (Cut Tape versus Tape & Reel) and tighter capacitance tolerance. Selection of this part is appropriate when improved tolerance performance is required and Cut Tape packaging is acceptable for assembly operations.

MLAST042SCG060CWNA01 and MSAST042SCG060CWNA01 (Taiyo Yuden Active Series)

Both MLAST042SCG060CWNA01 (MLAS series) and MSAST042SCG060CWNA01 (MSAS series) are active product line alternatives from Taiyo Yuden. These parts provide identical electrical and mechanical parameters to the TMK042CG060CD-W with the advantage of active product status. MLAST042SCG060CWNA01 is designated for Medical and Non-Critical applications, while MSAST042SCG060CWNA01 is designated for General Purpose applications. Both are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected. Selection between these parts depends on application classification and supply chain continuity requirements.

KGM02ACG1E6R0CH and KGU02ACG1E6R0CH (KYOCERA AVX)

Both KYOCERA AVX parts provide parametric equivalence with identical electrical and mechanical specifications. KGM02ACG1E6R0CH (KGM - C0G series) is designated for General Purpose applications. KGU02ACG1E6R0CH (CU series) is designated for RF, Microwave, and High Frequency applications with specified High Q and Low Loss characteristics. Both parts are active products with ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status. Selection of KYOCERA AVX parts provides alternative manufacturer sourcing while maintaining full electrical and mechanical compatibility.
