Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the T86C106M016ESSL is determined by strict equivalence across the following parameters:

• Capacitance value: 10 µF (exact match required)
• Voltage rating: 16 V (exact match required)
• Package type: 2312 (6032 Metric) surface mount (exact match required)
• Tolerance: ±20% (exact match required)
• Operating temperature range: -55°C to 125°C (exact match required)
• Molded tantalum construction (exact match required)

The TPSW106M016R0600 from KYOCERA AVX meets all these core electrical and mechanical parameters, establishing it as a direct functional equivalent. Variations in ESR (600 mOhm versus 700 mOhm) and physical height (1.50 mm versus 2.80 mm) remain within acceptable substitution tolerances for this capacitor category.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The TPSW106M016R0600 is the qualified substitute for the obsolete T86C106M016ESSL. Selection of this substitute is supported by:

• Active product status ensuring continued availability and supply chain stability
• ROHS3 compliance, providing regulatory alignment for new designs and manufacturing environments
• Identical electrical specifications across capacitance, voltage rating, tolerance, and operating temperature range
• Identical mechanical footprint and package designation, enabling direct PCB layout compatibility
• Lower ESR (600 mOhm) compared to the original part (700 mOhm), which represents an operational improvement in high-frequency applications
• Reduced seated height (1.50 mm versus 2.80 mm), which may provide additional clearance benefits in space-constrained assemblies

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the TPSW106M016R0600 be used as a direct replacement for the T86C106M016ESSL on existing PCBs?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical footprint dimensions (0.236" L x 0.126" W) and package designation (2312 / 6032 Metric). The reduced height of the substitute part (1.50 mm versus 2.80 mm) does not affect PCB compatibility and may improve clearance in constrained layouts.

Q: What is the significance of the ESR difference between these parts?

A: The substitute part features lower ESR (600 mOhm versus 700 mOhm). Lower ESR reduces heat generation and improves performance in high-frequency filtering applications. This represents an operational advantage over the original specification.

Q: Does the RoHS3 compliance of the substitute part affect compatibility?

A: RoHS3 compliance of the TPSW106M016R0600 indicates adherence to current environmental and regulatory standards. The original part is RoHS non-compliant. For new designs and manufacturing environments subject to RoHS requirements, the substitute part is the appropriate selection.

Q: Are the electrical performance characteristics identical between these parts?

A: Yes. Capacitance (10 µF), tolerance (±20%), voltage rating (16 V), operating temperature range (-55°C to 125°C), and moisture sensitivity level (MSL 1) are identical. Both parts are molded tantalum construction with surface mount configuration.

Q: What is the availability status of each part?

A: The T86C106M016ESSL is classified as obsolete. The TPSW106M016R0600 is active, ensuring ongoing availability and supply chain support for current and future production requirements.
