F930J157KCC Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The F930J157KCC is a 150 µF molded tantalum capacitor manufactured by KYOCERA AVX, rated for 6.3 V operation in a 2312 (6032 Metric) surface mount package. This component is designed for general-purpose applications requiring stable capacitance and low equivalent series resistance in compact form factors. The part maintains Active product status with full RoHS3 compliance and unlimited moisture sensitivity rating, making it suitable for industrial and commercial electronics requiring long-term reliability.

Equivalent and substitute parts are identified to support procurement flexibility, inventory management, and supply chain continuity when the primary part becomes unavailable or when design requirements permit voltage or manufacturer variations.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the F930J157KCC are qualified based on the following electrical and mechanical parameters:

Critical Parameters (Must Match):

• Capacitance: 150 µF
• Tolerance: ±10%
• Package / Case: 2312 (6032 Metric)
• Mounting Type: Surface Mount
• Type: Molded Tantalum
• ESR: 700 mOhm
• Operating Temperature Range: -55°C to 125°C
• RoHS3 Compliance
• MSL Rating: 1 (Unlimited)

Allowable Variations:

• Voltage Rating: Rated voltage may exceed the primary part specification (6.3 V) provided the substitute maintains all other electrical characteristics and physical dimensions. Higher voltage ratings provide design margin and are electrically compatible in applications rated for 6.3 V operation.
• Manufacturer: Different manufacturers producing equivalent specifications are acceptable.
• Lifetime @ Temp.: Variations in rated lifetime do not disqualify substitution when product status is Active.

Two substitute parts meet these criteria and are listed below.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All three parts—F930J157KCC, 293D157X96R3C2TE3, and T494C157K010AT—maintain Active product status with full RoHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected certification. Selection among these parts is based on availability, supply chain requirements, and voltage margin considerations.

F930J157KCC (KYOCERA AVX): Primary specification. Exact voltage match at 6.3 V. Suitable for applications with tight voltage constraints and established supply relationships with KYOCERA AVX.

293D157X96R3C2TE3 (Vishay Sprague): Direct electrical equivalent with matching 6.3 V rating. TANTAMOUNT™ series designation indicates Vishay's established tantalum capacitor platform. Recommended for applications requiring Vishay supply chain integration or when KYOCERA AVX inventory is unavailable.

T494C157K010AT (KEMET): Rated at 10 V, providing 3.7 V design margin above the primary specification. Electrically compatible in all 6.3 V applications. Recommended for designs requiring enhanced voltage headroom or when KEMET T494 series inventory is preferred. The higher voltage rating does not compromise performance in 6.3 V circuits.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can T494C157K010AT (10 V rated) be used in place of F930J157KCC (6.3 V rated)?

A: Yes. The T494C157K010AT is electrically compatible in all applications designed for 6.3 V operation. The higher voltage rating provides additional design margin and does not degrade performance. All other electrical parameters—capacitance, tolerance, ESR, and temperature range—are identical.

Q: Are the physical dimensions identical across all three parts?

A: Yes. All three parts use the 2312 (6032 Metric) package with dimensions of 0.236" L x 0.126" W (6.00mm x 3.20mm). Maximum seated height is 0.110" (2.80mm) for F930J157KCC and T494C157K010AT, and 0.110" (2.79mm) for 293D157X96R3C2TE3. These minor height variations are within standard PCB assembly tolerances and do not affect interchangeability.

Q: What is the significance of the ±10% tolerance specification?

A: The ±10% tolerance indicates that actual capacitance values will fall within the range of 135 µF to 165 µF. All three substitute parts share this tolerance, ensuring consistent performance across the specified range.

Q: Are all parts suitable for the full operating temperature range?

A: Yes. All three parts are rated for -55°C to 125°C operation. F930J157KCC and T494C157K010AT are rated for 2000 hours at 125°C. The 293D157X96R3C2TE3 lifetime specification is not provided but does not disqualify substitution given Active product status.

Q: What does MSL 1 (Unlimited) mean for moisture sensitivity?

A: MSL 1 indicates the lowest moisture sensitivity level. These parts can be stored indefinitely without moisture bake-out requirements prior to soldering, simplifying inventory management and assembly processes.

Q: Are all parts RoHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. All three parts are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, meeting current environmental and regulatory requirements for commercial and industrial electronics.
