Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the T86C106M025EBAL is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Capacitance value: 10 µF (exact match required)
• Voltage rating: 25 V (exact match required)
• Tolerance: ±20% (exact match required)
• ESR: 600mOhm (exact match required)
• Package / Case: 2312 (6032 Metric) (exact match required)
• Physical dimensions: 0.236" L x 0.126" W, height 0.110" max (exact match required)
• Operating temperature range: -55°C ~ 125°C (exact match required)
• Mounting type: Surface Mount (exact match required)

The T496C106M025ATE600 manufactured by KEMET meets all substitution criteria and is classified as an active product, providing long-term availability and design continuity.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The T496C106M025ATE600 is the direct equivalent substitute for the obsolete T86C106M025EBAL. Both components share identical electrical and mechanical specifications across all critical parameters. The KEMET part offers the advantage of active product status, ensuring continued availability and manufacturing support. Additionally, the T496C106M025ATE600 achieves ROHS3 compliance, whereas the original part is RoHS non-compliant. Both components maintain REACH unaffected status. Selection of the KEMET substitute eliminates obsolescence risk while maintaining full functional and physical compatibility in surface mount applications.
