F930J156MBA Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The F930J156MBA is a 15 µF molded tantalum capacitor manufactured by KYOCERA AVX, rated at 6.3 V with ±20% tolerance. This component is classified as Active and is ROHS3 compliant. The part is packaged in 1411 (3528 Metric) surface mount format with 2Ohm ESR at 100kHz, suitable for general purpose applications across industrial and commercial electronics.

Substitute parts are identified when equivalent electrical and mechanical parameters align with application requirements, allowing for component interchangeability in circuit designs where the main part may be unavailable or when alternative sourcing is necessary.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the F930J156MBA are qualified based on the following criteria:

Mandatory Matching Parameters:

• Capacitance: 15 µF (exact match required)
• Package / Case: 1411 (3528 Metric) (exact match required)
• Mounting Type: Surface Mount (exact match required)
• Type: Molded Tantalum (exact match required)
• Operating Temperature Range: -55°C ~ 125°C (exact match required)
• ESR: 2Ohm (exact match required)
• RoHS Status: ROHS3 Compliant (exact match required)
• MSL: 1 (Unlimited) (exact match required)

Allowable Variation Parameters:

• Voltage - Rated: May exceed the main part rating (6.3 V) provided the substitute maintains compatibility with circuit design requirements
• Tolerance: May differ from ±20% provided the substitute tolerance is equal to or tighter than the main part

Both identified substitute parts meet these criteria and are classified as Active products from established manufacturers.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both substitute parts are qualified alternatives to the F930J156MBA based on matching electrical and mechanical specifications. Selection between substitutes depends on circuit voltage requirements and tolerance specifications:

293D156X9010B2TE3 provides a 10 V rated voltage with ±10% tolerance, offering improved capacitance accuracy over the main part while maintaining compatibility with circuits designed for 6.3 V operation.

293D156X9016B2TE3 provides a 16 V rated voltage with ±10% tolerance, suitable for applications requiring higher voltage margin or circuits operating above 6.3 V. This part is available in higher inventory quantities.

All three parts maintain ROHS3 compliance, MSL 1 rating, and identical operating temperature ranges. Physical dimensions are compatible with existing PCB layouts, with substitute parts featuring slightly reduced seated height (2.11mm vs 2.30mm).

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can 293D156X9010B2TE3 or 293D156X9016B2TE3 be used as direct replacements for F930J156MBA?

A: Yes. Both parts match the mandatory electrical and mechanical parameters: 15 µF capacitance, 1411 (3528 Metric) package, 2Ohm ESR, surface mount configuration, and -55°C to 125°C operating range. The higher voltage ratings (10 V and 16 V respectively) are allowable variations that do not compromise circuit compatibility in applications designed for 6.3 V operation.

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

A: The primary difference is voltage rating. 293D156X9010B2TE3 is rated at 10 V, while 293D156X9016B2TE3 is rated at 16 V. Both feature ±10% tolerance, which is tighter than the main part's ±20% tolerance. The 16 V variant provides greater voltage margin for circuits with potential transient overvoltage conditions.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these parts?

A: The main part F930J156MBA is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) packaging. 293D156X9010B2TE3 is also supplied in Tape & Reel (TR). 293D156X9016B2TE3 is supplied in Cut Tape (CT) & Digi-Reel® packaging. Both packaging formats are suitable for automated assembly processes.

Q: Do the substitute parts have different physical dimensions?

A: Lateral dimensions are identical (0.138" L x 0.110" W / 4.60mm x 2.80mm). The substitute parts have a slightly lower seated height of 0.083" (2.11mm) compared to the main part's 0.091" (2.30mm). This difference is within typical PCB layout tolerances and does not affect circuit functionality.

Q: Are all three parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. F930J156MBA, 293D156X9010B2TE3, and 293D156X9016B2TE3 are all ROHS3 compliant with MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity rating.
