C2012Y5V1C106Z Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The C2012Y5V1C106Z is a 10 µF ceramic capacitor rated at 16V with Y5V temperature coefficient, manufactured by TDK Corporation in 0805 (2012 Metric) surface mount package. This part is classified as obsolete, making equivalent substitutes necessary for ongoing production and maintenance applications. The Y5V dielectric classification and general-purpose application profile establish the baseline for identifying compatible alternatives across multiple manufacturers.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the C2012Y5V1C106Z is determined by strict equivalence across the following parameters:

• Capacitance: 10 µF (exact match required)
• Tolerance: -20%, +80% (exact match required)
• Voltage Rating: 16V (exact match required)
• Temperature Coefficient: Y5V (F) (exact match required)
• Operating Temperature Range: -30°C ~ 85°C (exact match required)
• Package / Case: 0805 (2012 Metric) (exact match required)
• Mounting Type: Surface Mount, MLCC (exact match required)
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: 1 (Unlimited) (exact match required)

All identified substitute parts meet these criteria. Dimensional variations within manufacturing tolerances do not affect functional equivalence.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All three substitute parts are functionally equivalent to the C2012Y5V1C106Z based on electrical and mechanical parameters. Selection should prioritize active product status and regulatory compliance:

0805YG106ZAT2A (KYOCERA AVX) is an active product with ROHS3 compliance and Tape & Reel packaging, suitable for automated assembly environments.

CC0805ZKY5V7BB106 (YAGEO) is an active product with ROHS3 compliance, highest inventory availability (17,300 pcs), and Cut Tape & Digi-Reel packaging options.

GRM21BF51C106ZE15L (Murata) is an active product with ROHS3 compliance and established supply chain presence.

All substitutes carry identical REACH and ECCN classifications (EAR99) as the original part.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can these parts be used interchangeably with the C2012Y5V1C106Z?

A: Yes. All substitute parts match the required electrical specifications (10 µF, 16V, Y5V, -20%/+80% tolerance) and mechanical package (0805 / 2012 Metric). They are direct functional equivalents.

Q: What is the significance of the Y5V temperature coefficient?

A: Y5V indicates a ceramic dielectric with capacitance variation of -82% to +22% across the operating temperature range (-30°C to +85°C). This classification is suitable for general-purpose applications where moderate capacitance stability is acceptable. All substitutes use identical Y5V dielectric.

Q: Are there differences in physical dimensions between these parts?

A: All parts conform to the 0805 (2012 Metric) package standard with nominal dimensions of 2.00mm × 1.25mm. Thickness varies slightly (1.25mm to 1.45mm maximum), but these variations fall within standard PCB assembly tolerances and do not affect mounting or functionality.

Q: What is Moisture Sensitivity Level 1?

A: MSL 1 (Unlimited) indicates the component has unlimited shelf life and requires no special moisture control during storage or handling. All parts in this comparison carry MSL 1 classification.

Q: Why is the original TDK part marked obsolete?

A: Obsolete status indicates the manufacturer has discontinued production. The substitute parts from KYOCERA AVX, YAGEO, and Murata are active products with ongoing manufacturing and supply availability.

Q: Are all substitutes ROHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. The three substitute parts are all ROHS3 compliant. The original C2012Y5V1C106Z carries REACH Unaffected status, which is compatible with ROHS3 applications.
