Panasonic 6TPE330MAL Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Panasonic 6TPE330MAL is a 330 µF molded tantalum polymer capacitor rated at 6.3 V with 25 mOhm equivalent series resistance at 100 kHz, housed in a 2917 (7343 Metric) surface mount package. This component is classified as obsolete, making equivalent substitute parts necessary for ongoing design support and production continuity. Substitute parts must maintain identical electrical specifications and mechanical compatibility to ensure direct replacement in existing circuit designs.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the 6TPE330MAL is determined by strict equivalence across the following parameters:

Capacitance value: 330 µF (exact match required)
Voltage rating: 6.3 V (exact match required)
ESR specification: 25 mOhm @ 100 kHz (exact match required)
Package / Case: 2917 (7343 Metric) (exact match required)
Type: Molded tantalum polymer (exact match required)
Tolerance: ±20% (exact match required)
Operating temperature range: -55°C to 105°C (exact match required)
Mounting type: Surface Mount (exact match required)

All substitute parts listed below meet these criteria. Variations in product status (active vs. obsolete), packaging format (tape & reel vs. cut tape), manufacturer lifetime ratings, and seated height are permitted as they do not affect electrical or mechanical compatibility in circuit applications.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All listed substitute parts are electrically and mechanically equivalent to the 6TPE330MAL and are suitable for direct replacement. Selection among available substitutes should be based on the following factors:

Product Status: The 6TPE330MAL is obsolete. All substitute parts listed are active products with ongoing manufacturer support and availability.

Compliance: All substitute parts are ROHS3 compliant and carry EAR99 ECCN classification, matching the compliance profile of the original part.

Availability: Panasonic 6TPE330ML and 6TPE330MAP offer the highest inventory levels (1,968 and 100,100 units respectively) among Panasonic alternatives. KEMET T520V337M006ATE025 provides 18,850 units. KYOCERA AVX TCJ series parts (TCJY337M006R0025 and TCJY337M006R0025E) offer 11,813 and 2,754 units respectively. Vishay Sprague T55D337M6R3C0025 has 2,037 units available.

Packaging Format: For automated assembly processes, tape & reel and cut tape formats are preferred. For manual or low-volume applications, bulk packaging may be acceptable.

Physical Dimensions: Seated height varies between 0.075" (1.90 mm) and 0.122" (3.10 mm). Verify PCB layout clearance requirements before selection, particularly in space-constrained designs.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can I use any of these substitute parts as a direct replacement for the 6TPE330MAL?

A: Yes. All listed substitute parts meet the electrical and mechanical specifications required for direct replacement. They share identical capacitance (330 µF), voltage rating (6.3 V), ESR (25 mOhm @ 100 kHz), package type (2917), and operating temperature range (-55°C to 105°C).

Q: What is the difference between the Panasonic POSCAP™ TPE and POSCAP™ TA series?

A: Both series meet the electrical specifications of the 6TPE330MAL. The primary difference is series designation and product lifecycle status. The TPE series (6TPE330MAP, 6TPE330ML) is active, while the original TPE part (6TPE330MAL) is obsolete. The TA series (6TAE330ML) is also active. All are electrically equivalent for this application.

Q: Does the seated height variation affect compatibility?

A: Seated height differences (ranging from 0.075" to 0.122") do not affect electrical compatibility. However, verify that your PCB layout and component placement clearances accommodate the selected part's height. The 6TPE330MAP has the lowest profile at 0.079" (2.00 mm), while the Vishay T55D337M6R3C0025 has the highest at 0.122" (3.10 mm).

Q: Are there any moisture sensitivity considerations?

A: KEMET T520V337M006ATE025, KYOCERA AVX TCJY337M006R0025, TCJY337M006R0025E, and Vishay Sprague T55D337M6R3C0025 are rated MSL 3 (168 Hours). Panasonic parts do not specify MSL ratings. For applications requiring extended moisture protection, refer to manufacturer handling guidelines for MSL 3 components.

Q: Which substitute offers the best long-term availability?

A: Panasonic 6TPE330MAP (100,100 units in stock) and 6TPE330ML (1,968 units) are recommended for long-term design support, as Panasonic maintains active production status for both parts. KEMET T520V337M006ATE025 (18,850 units) is also a strong alternative from an established manufacturer.
