Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the T496B106M006AS is determined by the following critical parameters:

Primary Matching Criteria:

• Capacitance: 10 µF (exact match required)
• Voltage Rating: 6.3 V (exact match required)
• Package / Case: 1411 (3528 Metric) (exact match required)
• Mounting Type: Surface Mount (exact match required)
• Physical Dimensions: 0.138" L x 0.110" W, Height 0.083" max (exact match required)

Secondary Compatibility Parameters:

• Tolerance: ±20% or tighter (±10% acceptable as superior specification)
• Operating Temperature: -55°C ~ 125°C (exact match required)
• Type: Molded Tantalum (exact match required)
• Features: Fail Safe with Built-in Fuse (exact match required)

Substitute parts must satisfy all primary matching criteria and maintain compatibility with secondary parameters. Tolerance tightening from ±20% to ±10% represents an improvement in capacitance accuracy and does not restrict substitution.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

T496B106M006AT (Direct Substitute)

The T496B106M006AT is a direct substitute for the T496B106M006AS. Both parts share identical electrical specifications (10 µF, ±20% tolerance, 6.3 V rating) and physical dimensions (1411 package, 3.50mm x 2.80mm x 2.10mm max height). The primary distinction is product status: T496B106M006AT is Active, whereas the main part is Obsolete.

T496B106M006AT provides documented ESR of 3.5 Ohm and lifetime rating of 2000 Hrs @ 85°C, specifications not provided for the main part. The substitute is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) packaging and is ROHS3 compliant, addressing regulatory requirements for new designs and production runs.

T496B106K006ATE3K5 (Parametric Equivalent)

The T496B106K006ATE3K5 is a parametric equivalent offering improved tolerance specification (±10% versus ±20%). All other electrical and mechanical parameters remain identical: 10 µF capacitance, 6.3 V rating, 1411 package, -55°C to 125°C operating range, and fail-safe fuse protection.

This part is suitable for applications requiring tighter capacitance tolerance. The ±10% tolerance does not restrict substitution and represents enhanced performance. T496B106K006ATE3K5 is Active status, ROHS3 compliant, and available in high inventory (5053 Pcs).

Both substitute parts maintain full compatibility with the original design requirements and support continued system operation.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can T496B106M006AT be used as a direct replacement for T496B106M006AS?

A: Yes. T496B106M006AT is a direct substitute. Both parts have identical capacitance (10 µF), voltage rating (6.3 V), tolerance (±20%), package (1411), and physical dimensions. The primary difference is product status: T496B106M006AT is Active while T496B106M006AS is Obsolete.

Q: What is the difference between T496B106M006AT and T496B106K006ATE3K5?

A: The primary difference is tolerance specification. T496B106M006AT has ±20% tolerance, while T496B106K006ATE3K5 has ±10% tolerance. All other parameters—capacitance, voltage, package, dimensions, and operating temperature—are identical. The tighter tolerance of T496B106K006ATE3K5 provides improved capacitance accuracy.

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

A: Yes. All three parts use the 1411 (3528 Metric) package with dimensions of 0.138" L x 0.110" W (3.50mm x 2.80mm) and maximum seated height of 0.083" (2.10mm). They are mechanically interchangeable.

Q: What packaging options are available for the substitute parts?

A: T496B106M006AT and T496B106K006ATE3K5 are supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) packaging, suitable for automated assembly processes. The original T496B106M006AS packaging type is not specified in the provided data.

Q: Are the substitute parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. Both T496B106M006AT and T496B106K006ATE3K5 are ROHS3 compliant. The original T496B106M006AS is RoHS non-compliant. For new designs or production requiring RoHS compliance, the substitute parts satisfy regulatory requirements.

Q: What is the moisture sensitivity level for these parts?

A: All three parts have Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL) of 1 (Unlimited), indicating no moisture sensitivity restrictions during storage or handling.

Q: Can I use T496B106K006ATE3K5 in place of T496B106M006AS if my design specifies ±20% tolerance?

A: Yes. T496B106K006ATE3K5 with ±10% tolerance is acceptable in designs specifying ±20% tolerance. Tighter tolerance represents improved performance and does not violate the original specification.
