TAP106J016SCS Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The TAP106J016SCS is a 10 µF conformal coated tantalum capacitor rated at 16 V with ±5% tolerance, manufactured by KYOCERA AVX in the TAP series. This through-hole radial component is designed for general purpose applications requiring stable capacitance performance across the operating temperature range of -55°C to 125°C. The part is currently active in production with ROHS3 compliance and maintains 1000 hours lifetime rating at 85°C. Substitute parts are identified when application requirements permit relaxed voltage ratings or tolerance specifications while maintaining core electrical and mechanical compatibility.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the TAP106J016SCS are qualified based on the following criteria:

Maintained Parameters (Required for Substitution):

• Capacitance: 10 µF (exact match)
• Type: Conformal Coated (exact match)
• Mounting Type: Through Hole (exact match)
• Package / Case: Radial (exact match)
• Operating Temperature: -55°C ~ 125°C (exact match)
• Series: TAP (exact match)
• Product Status: Active (exact match)
• RoHS Status: ROHS3 Compliant (exact match)

Allowed Parameter Variations:

• Voltage - Rated: May be reduced from 16 V to 6.3 V (lower voltage rating acceptable in applications with reduced voltage requirements)
• Tolerance: May be relaxed from ±5% to ±10% or ±20% (wider tolerance acceptable where precision is not critical)
• ESR: May increase from 3.2 Ohm to 6 Ohm (higher ESR acceptable in applications not sensitive to impedance characteristics)
• Physical Dimensions: May vary within radial package constraints (Size Code D to Size Code B acceptable)

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All listed substitute parts maintain active product status and ROHS3 compliance, ensuring continued manufacturing support and regulatory alignment with the original TAP106J016SCS.

TAP106K006SCS Selection Criteria: Use when circuit voltage requirements do not exceed 6.3 V and capacitance tolerance of ±10% is acceptable. This part offers reduced physical footprint (Size Code B) compared to the original, with lead spacing maintained at 0.098" (2.50mm) for PCB compatibility.

TAP106M006SCS Selection Criteria: Use when circuit voltage requirements do not exceed 6.3 V and capacitance tolerance of ±20% is acceptable. This part shares identical physical dimensions and electrical characteristics with TAP106K006SCS, differing only in tolerance specification.

All substitute parts are manufactured by KYOCERA AVX within the TAP series, ensuring consistent conformal coating quality and thermal performance across the -55°C to 125°C operating range.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can TAP106K006SCS or TAP106M006SCS be used in place of TAP106J016SCS in a 16 V circuit?

A: No. The substitute parts are rated for 6.3 V maximum. Using them in a 16 V circuit exceeds their voltage rating and will result in component failure. Substitution is only valid when the circuit voltage requirement is 6.3 V or lower.

Q: What is the difference between TAP106K006SCS and TAP106M006SCS?

A: Both parts are electrically and mechanically identical with the following exception: TAP106K006SCS has ±10% capacitance tolerance, while TAP106M006SCS has ±20% tolerance. Select based on the capacitance precision required by your application.

Q: Will the smaller physical dimensions of TAP106K006SCS and TAP106M006SCS affect PCB layout?

A: The substitute parts are smaller (Size Code B: 0.177" Dia, 0.295" Height) compared to the original (Size Code D: 0.197" Dia, 0.354" Height). Lead spacing remains constant at 0.098" (2.50mm), maintaining through-hole compatibility. Verify PCB footprint clearances before substitution.

Q: Are all parts in this comparison ROHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. TAP106J016SCS, TAP106K006SCS, and TAP106M006SCS are all ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected.

Q: What does ESR (Equivalent Series Resistance) mean for capacitor selection?

A: ESR is the internal resistance of the capacitor. The original part has 3.2 Ohm ESR, while substitutes have 6 Ohm ESR. Higher ESR increases heat generation and may affect high-frequency circuit performance. Substitution is valid only when circuit design does not require the lower ESR of the original part.
