LT06YD106MAT2W Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The LT06YD106MAT2W is a 10 µF ±20% 16V ceramic capacitor in 1206 (3216 Metric) package manufactured by KYOCERA AVX. This surface mount multilayer ceramic capacitor (MLCC) features X5R temperature coefficient and operates across -55°C to 85°C. The part is currently active in production and widely used in general purpose applications requiring stable capacitance across temperature ranges.

Substitute parts are necessary when the original manufacturer part becomes unavailable, when alternative sourcing improves lead times or cost efficiency, or when design flexibility allows for compatible alternatives meeting the same electrical and mechanical specifications.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility is determined by strict alignment with the following electrical and mechanical parameters:

• Capacitance: Must be 10 µF
• Voltage Rating: Must be 16V or higher
• Temperature Coefficient: Must be X5R
• Operating Temperature Range: Must support -55°C ~ 85°C
• Package / Case: Must be 1206 (3216 Metric)
• Mounting Type: Must be Surface Mount, MLCC
• Physical Dimensions: Must match 0.126" L x 0.063" W (3.20mm x 1.60mm)
• Compliance: Must maintain ROHS3 compliance and MSL 1 rating

Substitute parts are grouped into two categories based on tolerance specification:

Category A - ±20% Tolerance (Direct Electrical Equivalents) Parts with ±20% tolerance match the original specification exactly and are fully interchangeable without circuit redesign.

Category B - ±10% Tolerance (Enhanced Tolerance Alternative) Parts with ±10% tolerance provide tighter capacitance tolerance while maintaining all other electrical and mechanical parameters. These are compatible substitutes with improved tolerance performance.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Substitutes (Active Production Status)

C1206C106M4PAC7800 (KEMET), CL31A106KOHNNNE (Samsung Electro-Mechanics), CL31A106MOHNNNE (Samsung Electro-Mechanics), and EMK316BJ106ML-T (Taiyo Yuden) are all suitable direct replacements. Among these, C1206C106M4PAC7800, CL31A106KOHNNNE, and CL31A106MOHNNNE are recommended as they maintain active production status and full ROHS3 compliance.

CL31A106KOHNNNE offers enhanced ±10% tolerance specification while maintaining all other electrical and mechanical parameters, providing improved capacitance stability for applications requiring tighter tolerance control.

CL31A106MAHNNNE is compatible as a substitute with higher voltage rating (25V vs. 16V), providing additional voltage margin. This part is suitable for applications where the circuit design permits higher voltage rated components.

Parts Not Recommended for New Designs

C3216X5R1C106M160AA (TDK Corporation) and EMK316BJ106ML-T (Taiyo Yuden) carry "Not For New Designs" status. While electrically and mechanically compatible, these parts should not be selected for new product development. They remain available for legacy system support and maintenance applications only.

Compliance Verification

All substitute parts maintain ROHS3 compliance and MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity rating, ensuring compatibility with standard manufacturing and storage processes.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can I use CL31A106MAHNNNE (25V) as a direct replacement for LT06YD106MAT2W (16V)?

A: Yes. The 25V rated part is electrically and mechanically compatible. Higher voltage ratings are acceptable substitutes in circuits designed for lower voltage components, as the capacitor will operate within its rated specifications. All other parameters—capacitance, tolerance, temperature coefficient, package, and dimensions—are identical or equivalent.

Q: What is the difference between ±20% and ±10% tolerance parts?

A: Tolerance specifies the allowable deviation from the nominal 10 µF capacitance value. ±20% tolerance allows capacitance between 8 µF and 12 µF. ±10% tolerance allows capacitance between 9 µF and 11 µF. Both are electrically compatible; ±10% tolerance provides tighter capacitance control for applications requiring more precise values.

Q: Why do some substitute parts have different thickness specifications?

A: The original LT06YD106MAT2W has a maximum thickness of 0.040" (1.02mm), while most substitutes are 0.071" (1.80mm). Both dimensions are within the 1206 (3216 Metric) package specification. Verify PCB assembly clearance if height-constrained applications are involved. The thicker parts remain mechanically compatible with standard 1206 footprints.

Q: Are parts marked "Not For New Designs" still usable?

A: Parts with "Not For New Designs" status are electrically and mechanically compatible but should not be selected for new product development. These parts are suitable for legacy system maintenance, repair, and field replacement where the original part number is unavailable.

Q: Do all substitute parts maintain the same operating temperature range?

A: Yes. All listed substitute parts operate across -55°C to 85°C with X5R temperature coefficient, ensuring consistent performance across the full temperature range specified for the original part.

Q: What packaging formats are available for these substitutes?

A: The original LT06YD106MAT2W is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) format. Substitute parts are available in Tape & Reel (TR) or Cut Tape (CT) & Digi-Reel® formats. Verify packaging requirements for your procurement and assembly processes.
