Panasonic 6TPB100MA Tantalum Polymer Capacitor Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Panasonic 6TPB100MA is a conductive polymer tantalum solid capacitor classified as obsolete. This component is a tantalum polymer capacitor designed for applications requiring stable capacitance and low equivalent series resistance. Due to its obsolete status, direct procurement from original inventory is limited. Identifying equivalent substitute parts ensures design continuity and maintains supply chain reliability for legacy systems and new designs requiring compatible specifications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 6TPE100MAZB be used as a direct replacement for 6TPB100MA in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical capacitance (100 µF), voltage rating (6.3 V), package form factor (1411/3528 Metric), and surface mount technology. Physical dimensions and PCB footprint are identical, requiring no circuit board modifications.

Q: What is the difference between "conductive polymer tantalum solid" and "molded tantalum polymer"?

A: Both designations refer to tantalum polymer capacitor construction. The 6TPE100MAZB is specified as molded tantalum polymer with documented electrical characteristics (35 mOhm ESR @ 100 kHz). The terminology reflects manufacturing process variations within the same component category.

Q: Are there compliance differences between the obsolete and substitute parts?

A: The 6TPE100MAZB carries current regulatory certifications: ROHS3 Compliant and REACH Unaffected. The obsolete 6TPB100MA lacks specified compliance documentation. For applications requiring documented environmental compliance, the 6TPE100MAZB provides current certification status.

Q: What is the tolerance specification for the 6TPE100MAZB?

A: The 6TPE100MAZB has a capacitance tolerance of ±20%, which is standard for tantalum polymer capacitors in this voltage and capacitance range.

Q: Does the 6TPE100MAZB support the same operating temperature range as the 6TPB100MA?

A: The 6TPE100MAZB operates across -55°C to 105°C with a lifetime rating of 1000 Hrs @ 105°C. The 6TPB100MA does not have published temperature specifications, but the substitute provides documented thermal performance for reliability calculations.

Q: What packaging options are available for the 6TPE100MAZB?

A: The 6TPE100MAZB is supplied in Cut Tape (CT) and Digi-Reel® packaging formats, supporting both manual assembly and automated production processes.

Q: Is the 6TPE100MAZB available in higher quantities for production orders?

A: Current inventory for the 6TPE100MAZB is 9088 Pcs New Original In Stock, providing adequate supply for production requirements. The active product status ensures continued availability for future orders.
