Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the T496D107K006AS is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Capacitance Value: 100 µF (exact match required)
• Voltage Rating: 6.3 V (exact match required)
• Tolerance: ±10% (exact match required)
• Package / Case: 2917 (7343 Metric) (exact match required)
• Mounting Type: Surface Mount (exact match required)
• Operating Temperature Range: -55°C ~ 125°C (exact match required)
• Type: Molded Tantalum (exact match required)
• Features: Fail Safe with Built-in Fuse (exact match required)

The substitute part T496D107K006ATE800 meets all these criteria. The primary distinction is the specification of ESR (Equivalent Series Resistance) at 800 mOhm in the substitute part, which was not specified in the original part. Additionally, the substitute part carries active product status and ROHS3 compliance, whereas the original part is obsolete and RoHS non-compliant.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The T496D107K006ATE800 is the direct substitute for the obsolete T496D107K006AS. Selection of the substitute part is supported by the following factors:

Product Status: The substitute part carries active product status, ensuring continued availability and manufacturing support, whereas the original part is obsolete and subject to discontinuation.

Regulatory Compliance: The substitute part is ROHS3 compliant, meeting current environmental and regulatory requirements. The original part is RoHS non-compliant, which may present procurement and deployment restrictions in regulated markets.

Electrical Equivalence: Both parts maintain identical electrical specifications across capacitance (100 µF), voltage rating (6.3 V), tolerance (±10%), and operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 125°C).

Mechanical Compatibility: Both parts share identical package dimensions (2917 / 7343 Metric), physical size (0.287" L x 0.169" W / 7.30mm x 4.30mm), and maximum seated height (0.122" / 3.10mm), ensuring direct board-level compatibility without layout modifications.

Functional Equivalence: Both parts incorporate fail-safe design with built-in fuse protection and maintain unlimited moisture sensitivity level (MSL 1).

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the T496D107K006ATE800 be used as a direct replacement for the T496D107K006AS?

A: Yes. The substitute part meets all electrical and mechanical specifications of the original part. Both components share identical capacitance (100 µF), voltage rating (6.3 V), tolerance (±10%), package type (2917 / 7343 Metric), and operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 125°C). Physical dimensions and mounting characteristics are identical, enabling direct board-level substitution.

Q: What is the difference between the two parts?

A: The primary differences are product status and regulatory compliance. The T496D107K006ATE800 is an active product with ROHS3 compliance, whereas the T496D107K006AS is obsolete and RoHS non-compliant. The substitute part specifies ESR at 800 mOhm and provides lifetime rating of 2000 Hrs @ 85°C, whereas these parameters were not specified for the original part.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these parts?

A: The original part is supplied in standard packaging, while the substitute part is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) format. Both parts are identical in component specifications and physical dimensions. Tape & Reel packaging is standard for high-volume surface mount assembly operations.

Q: Does the ESR specification of 800 mOhm affect circuit performance?

A: The ESR specification in the substitute part provides defined electrical characteristics. The original part did not specify ESR. In applications where ESR is a critical parameter, the 800 mOhm specification of the substitute part establishes a known performance baseline.

Q: Are both parts suitable for the same operating temperature range?

A: Yes. Both parts operate across the identical temperature range of -55°C to 125°C, ensuring thermal compatibility in all specified operating conditions.

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

A: Both parts carry MSL 1 (Unlimited), indicating unlimited shelf life under standard storage conditions without moisture bake-out requirements.
