Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The substitute part 293D106X0016C2TE3 (Vishay Sprague) qualifies as an equivalent based on the following substitution criteria:

• Capacitance Value: Both parts are 10 µF tantalum capacitors
• Voltage Rating: Both rated at 16 V
• Package Type: Surface mount tantalum capacitors in molded form
• Tolerance: ±20% tolerance (standard for tantalum capacitors)
• Compliance: Both are ROHS3 Compliant and REACH Unaffected
• MSL Rating: Both classified as MSL 1 (Unlimited)
• Tariff Classification: Both classified under HTSUS 8532.21.0050

The substitute relationship is based strictly on matching electrical characteristics (capacitance, voltage rating, tolerance) and mechanical compatibility (surface mount, molded type) with equivalent reliability and regulatory compliance.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the TAJC106M016RY and 293D106X0016C2TE3 are active product lines with current manufacturer support. Selection between these parts should be based on:

• Supply Availability: The Vishay Sprague 293D106X0016C2TE3 is stocked at higher inventory levels (4,875 pcs vs. 608 pcs)
• Regulatory Compliance: Both components maintain ROHS3 and REACH compliance, suitable for applications requiring unrestricted material content
• MSL Rating: Both carry MSL 1 designation, eliminating moisture sensitivity constraints during handling and storage
• Packaging Format: The KYOCERA AVX part is supplied in Tape & Reel format; the Vishay part is available in Cut Tape and Digi-Reel formats, allowing flexibility in production workflows

No additional testing is required for substitution, as electrical and mechanical parameters are equivalent within the defined tolerance specifications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: What makes 293D106X0016C2TE3 an acceptable substitute for TAJC106M016RY?

A: Both parts share identical capacitance (10 µF), voltage rating (16 V), tolerance (±20%), operating temperature range, MSL level, and regulatory compliance. Surface mount configuration and molded tantalum construction are functionally equivalent in applications.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these parts?

A: Yes. The TAJC106M016RY is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) format, while the 293D106X0016C2TE3 is offered in Cut Tape (CT) and Digi-Reel formats. Both are suitable for automated assembly; selection depends on production line equipment capabilities.

Q: Does ESR (Equivalent Series Resistance) differ significantly between these parts?

A: The Vishay Sprague 293D106X0016C2TE3 specifies 1.8 Ohm ESR. The KYOCERA AVX part does not provide ESR in the available specifications. For applications where ESR is critical, the Vishay specification provides a defined performance characteristic.

Q: Are both parts suitable for high-temperature applications?

A: Yes. Both components are rated for operating temperatures from -55°C to 125°C, supporting demanding thermal environments.

Q: Can these parts be substituted in existing PCB designs without modification?

A: Both parts are surface mount tantalum capacitors with equivalent electrical ratings. Footprint compatibility should be verified against the original design specifications, as package dimensions may vary slightly between manufacturers.

Q: What is the MSL significance for these capacitors?

A: Both parts carry MSL 1 (Unlimited) classification, meaning they have unlimited floor life and do not require moisture conditioning prior to soldering, simplifying procurement and storage requirements.
