Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the 6-1879057-7 is determined by strict equivalence across the following parameters: capacitance value (10 µF), tolerance (±10%), voltage rating (10 V or higher), type (molded tantalum), ESR (800 mOhm), operating temperature range (-55°C to 125°C), mounting type (surface mount), and package configuration (1411 / 3528 Metric).

Direct substitutes maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications at the 10 V rating. Upgrade substitutes provide higher voltage ratings (16 V) while maintaining all other parameters, offering enhanced voltage margin for the same physical footprint and electrical characteristics.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Direct Substitutes (10 V Rating)

T494B106K010AT (KEMET) and TR3B106K010C0800 (Vishay Sprague) provide direct electrical and mechanical equivalence to the 6-1879057-7. Both parts are active products with ROHS3 compliance and MSL 1 rating. T494B106K010AT includes specified lifetime rating of 2000 hours at 125°C. TR3B106K010C0800 offers higher inventory availability (10,300 units) compared to T494B106K010AT (2,300 units).

Upgrade Substitutes (16 V Rating)

593D106X9016B2TE3 (Vishay Sprague), T494B106K016AT (KEMET), and TR3B106K016C0800 (Vishay Sprague) provide voltage-upgraded alternatives at 16 V rating while maintaining identical capacitance, tolerance, ESR, temperature range, and physical package dimensions. These upgrades are suitable for applications where increased voltage margin is required. TR3B106K016C0800 provides the highest inventory availability (14,997 units) among upgrade options.

All substitute parts maintain REACH Unaffected status and EAR99 ECCN classification consistent with the original part.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can T494B106K010AT directly replace 6-1879057-7 in existing designs?

A: Yes. T494B106K010AT maintains identical electrical specifications (10 µF, ±10%, 10 V, 800 mOhm ESR) and physical package (1411 / 3528 Metric) with compatible mounting type (surface mount). Both parts operate across -55°C to 125°C temperature range.

Q: What is the difference between direct substitutes and upgrade substitutes?

A: Direct substitutes (T494B106K010AT, TR3B106K010C0800) maintain the 10 V voltage rating. Upgrade substitutes (593D106X9016B2TE3, T494B106K016AT, TR3B106K016C0800) provide 16 V voltage rating while preserving all other electrical and mechanical parameters. Upgrade substitutes are compatible with 10 V applications and provide additional voltage margin.

Q: Are there physical compatibility concerns between substitute parts?

A: All substitute parts use identical 1411 (3528 Metric) package configuration with dimensions of 0.138" L x 0.110" W (3.50 mm x 2.80 mm). Maximum seated height varies minimally between 0.083" (2.10 mm) and 0.083" (2.11 mm), which is within standard PCB assembly tolerances.

Q: Which substitute offers the best availability?

A: TR3B106K016C0800 (Vishay Sprague) provides the highest inventory at 14,997 units for the 16 V upgrade option. TR3B106K010C0800 (Vishay Sprague) provides 10,300 units for the direct 10 V substitute.

Q: Do all substitutes meet the same compliance standards?

A: All active substitute parts are ROHS3 compliant and REACH Unaffected. The original 6-1879057-7 does not specify RoHS status but shares identical REACH Unaffected and EAR99 ECCN classification with all substitutes.

Q: What is the ESR specification and why is it important?

A: Equivalent Series Resistance (ESR) is specified at 800 mOhm for all parts in this comparison. ESR affects ripple current handling and thermal performance in power supply and filtering applications. All substitutes maintain this specification.

Q: Can the 16 V upgrade substitutes be used in 10 V applications?

A: Yes. The 16 V rated parts (593D106X9016B2TE3, T494B106K016AT, TR3B106K016C0800) are electrically compatible with 10 V circuit requirements. The higher voltage rating provides additional safety margin without affecting capacitance, tolerance, or ESR characteristics.
