Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The TMK063B7152KP-F serves as a direct substitute for the EMK063BJ152MP-F in SMPS filtering applications. Both components are manufactured by Taiyo Yuden and maintain identical physical package dimensions and mounting characteristics, ensuring PCB-level compatibility without layout modifications.

The substitute part provides enhanced performance specifications across multiple parameters. The voltage rating increases from 16V to 25V, providing additional design margin in applications where the original 16V specification is marginal. The tolerance specification tightens from ±20% to ±10%, improving capacitance accuracy. The operating temperature range extends from -55°C ~ 85°C to -55°C ~ 125°C, accommodating higher ambient temperature environments.

Both components maintain ROHS3 compliance and MSL Level 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity classification, ensuring regulatory and environmental compatibility. The transition from X5R to X7R temperature coefficient in the substitute part represents a standard industry evolution in ceramic capacitor technology, with X7R providing superior temperature stability characteristics across the extended operating range.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the TMK063B7152KP-F be used as a direct replacement for the EMK063BJ152MP-F without PCB modifications?

A: Yes. Both components share identical physical dimensions (0.024" L x 0.012" W, 0.60mm x 0.30mm) and maximum thickness (0.015" / 0.39mm) in the 0201 (0603 Metric) package format. Surface mount placement and reflow soldering processes require no adjustment.

Q: What is the significance of the voltage rating increase from 16V to 25V?

A: The higher voltage rating of the substitute part provides increased design margin and reliability in applications where circuit voltage approaches the component rating. This does not alter the capacitance value or physical footprint.

Q: How does the temperature coefficient change from X5R to X7R affect circuit performance?

A: X7R temperature coefficient provides tighter capacitance stability across temperature variations compared to X5R. The substitute part maintains capacitance within specified tolerances across the extended -55°C ~ 125°C operating range, compared to the original -55°C ~ 85°C range.

Q: Are both components RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. Both the EMK063BJ152MP-F and TMK063B7152KP-F are ROHS3 compliant and carry MSL Level 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity classification.

Q: What is the tolerance difference between the two parts?

A: The main part specifies ±20% tolerance, while the substitute part specifies ±10% tolerance. The tighter tolerance of the substitute part provides improved capacitance accuracy for applications requiring closer value specifications.

Q: Are both parts suitable for new designs?

A: Both components carry "Not For New Designs" product status, indicating legacy classification. New design applications should reference current-generation alternatives from the manufacturer's active product portfolio.
