KEMET T541X477K010AH8510 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The KEMET T541X477K010AH8510 is a 470 µF molded tantalum polymer capacitor rated at 10 V, housed in a 2917 (7343 Metric) surface mount package. This component is part of the KO-CAP® T541 series and is classified as Active product status. The part is designed for applications requiring high reliability and low equivalent series resistance characteristics. Identifying equivalent and substitute parts is necessary when the primary part number becomes unavailable, when alternative packaging formats are required for manufacturing processes, or when inventory optimization across multiple suppliers is needed.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the T541X477K010AH8510 are identified based on strict electrical and mechanical parameter matching. The substitution logic is based on the following criteria:

Electrical Parameters (Must Match Exactly):

• Capacitance: 470 µF
• Voltage Rating: 10 V
• Tolerance: ±10%
• ESR @ 100kHz: 20 mOhm
• Operating Temperature Range: -55°C to 125°C
• Lifetime @ 125°C: 2000 Hrs

Mechanical Parameters (Must Match Exactly):

• Package / Case: 2917 (7343 Metric)
• Mounting Type: Surface Mount
• Component Type: Molded Tantalum Polymer Capacitor

Packaging Format (May Differ):

• The main part is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) format
• Substitute parts may be supplied in alternative packaging formats such as Cut Tape (CT), provided all electrical and mechanical specifications remain identical

The T541X477K010CH6710 qualifies as a parametric equivalent because it maintains identical electrical performance and mechanical compatibility while differing only in packaging format (Cut Tape versus Tape & Reel).

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the T541X477K010AH8510 and T541X477K010CH6710 are Active status products manufactured by KEMET within the KO-CAP® T541 series. Selection between these parts should be based on the following engineering considerations:

Packaging Format Selection:

• Tape & Reel (TR) Format (T541X477K010AH8510): Suitable for high-volume automated assembly operations where components are fed directly from reel-based pick-and-place equipment. This format minimizes handling and is optimized for continuous production lines.
• Cut Tape (CT) Format (T541X477K010CH6710): Suitable for lower-volume production, prototype builds, or applications where component quantities are limited. Cut tape format allows for manual or semi-automated placement and reduces waste for small batch quantities.

Compliance Considerations: Both parts share identical compliance profiles: RoHS non-compliant and REACH Unaffected status. Design teams must account for these compliance characteristics in their regulatory documentation and supply chain planning.

Inventory and Availability: Current inventory levels differ between formats. Selection should account for production schedules and supply chain lead times.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can T541X477K010CH6710 be used as a direct replacement for T541X477K010AH8510 on the same PCB?

A: Yes. Both parts are electrically and mechanically identical. They occupy the same footprint (2917 / 7343 Metric), have identical electrical specifications, and are both surface mount components. The only difference is the packaging format supplied by the manufacturer (Cut Tape versus Tape & Reel). PCB design, assembly, and performance are unaffected by this packaging difference.

Q: What does the packaging format difference mean for manufacturing?

A: Tape & Reel (TR) format supplies components on a continuous reel suitable for automated pick-and-place machines in high-volume production. Cut Tape (CT) format supplies components in shorter tape segments, typically used for lower-volume production, prototyping, or manual assembly. Both formats contain the same component; the difference is in how they are supplied and fed into assembly equipment.

Q: Are there any electrical performance differences between these two part numbers?

A: No. Both parts have identical electrical specifications: 470 µF capacitance, 10 V rating, ±10% tolerance, 20 mOhm ESR @ 100kHz, -55°C to 125°C operating range, and 2000 Hrs lifetime @ 125°C. Electrical performance in the circuit is identical.

Q: Do both parts have the same moisture sensitivity requirements?

A: Yes. Both parts are rated MSL 3 (168 Hours), meaning they require the same handling, storage, and baking procedures before soldering. Moisture sensitivity management is identical for both part numbers.

Q: Which part should I specify for a new design?

A: Selection depends on your manufacturing process. For high-volume automated assembly, specify T541X477K010AH8510 (Tape & Reel). For lower-volume or prototype production, T541X477K010CH6710 (Cut Tape) may be more cost-effective. Both are equally suitable from an engineering standpoint.

Q: Are there any compliance or regulatory differences?

A: No. Both parts share identical compliance status: RoHS non-compliant and REACH Unaffected. Regulatory documentation and supply chain compliance considerations are the same for both part numbers.
