TAP106J025SCS Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The TAP106J025SCS is a 10 µF conformal coated tantalum capacitor rated at 25 V with ±5% tolerance, manufactured by KYOCERA AVX in the TAP series. This radial through-hole component operates across -55°C to 125°C with an equivalent series resistance of 2.5Ohm and a maximum seated height of 0.354" (9.00mm). The part is ROHS3 compliant and currently active in production with 762 units in stock.

Substitute parts are identified when equivalent capacitance and core electrical characteristics align within acceptable tolerance and voltage derating parameters, while maintaining identical mounting type, temperature range, and compliance certifications.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the TAP106J025SCS are identified based on the following criteria:

Mandatory Matching Parameters:

• Capacitance: 10 µF (exact match required)
• Mounting Type: Through Hole Radial (identical package configuration)
• Type: Conformal Coated (same coating specification)
• Operating Temperature Range: -55°C ~ 125°C (identical thermal envelope)
• RoHS Status: ROHS3 Compliant (regulatory alignment)

Allowable Variation Parameters:

• Tolerance: ±5% to ±20% (wider tolerance acceptable for substitution)
• Voltage - Rated: 25 V to 6.3 V (lower voltage rating acceptable with derating consideration)
• ESR: 2.5Ohm to 6Ohm (higher ESR acceptable within application limits)
• Physical Dimensions: Variation permitted within radial package constraints

The identified substitutes TAP106K006SCS and TAP106M006SCS maintain identical capacitance, mounting configuration, temperature range, and compliance certifications while operating at reduced voltage ratings and with relaxed tolerance specifications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All three parts—TAP106J025SCS, TAP106K006SCS, and TAP106M006SCS—are active production components manufactured by KYOCERA AVX with identical ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status. They share the same operating temperature range (-55°C to 125°C), identical lead spacing (0.098" / 2.50mm), and equivalent lifetime specifications (1000 Hrs @ 85°C).

The primary differentiators are voltage rating and tolerance specification. The TAP106J025SCS operates at 25 V with ±5% tolerance. The substitute parts TAP106K006SCS and TAP106M006SCS operate at 6.3 V with ±10% and ±20% tolerance respectively. Selection between substitutes depends on circuit voltage requirements and tolerance stack-up analysis for the specific application.

Physical package dimensions vary: TAP106J025SCS measures 0.217" diameter with 0.354" maximum seated height, while both substitutes measure 0.177" diameter with 0.295" maximum seated height. PCB layout and mechanical clearance must be verified before substitution.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can TAP106K006SCS or TAP106M006SCS be used in place of TAP106J025SCS?

A: Substitution is possible only if the circuit operates at or below 6.3 V. The 25 V rated TAP106J025SCS cannot be replaced by 6.3 V rated parts in higher voltage applications. Voltage derating analysis is required for the specific circuit.

Q: What is the difference between TAP106K006SCS and TAP106M006SCS?

A: Both parts share identical voltage rating (6.3 V), capacitance (10 µF), ESR (6Ohm), and physical dimensions. The difference is tolerance specification: TAP106K006SCS has ±10% tolerance while TAP106M006SCS has ±20% tolerance. Selection depends on circuit tolerance requirements.

Q: Will the smaller physical dimensions of the substitute parts affect PCB layout?

A: Yes. TAP106K006SCS and TAP106M006SCS are physically smaller (0.177" diameter, 0.295" height) compared to TAP106J025SCS (0.217" diameter, 0.354" height). PCB footprint and mechanical clearance must be verified before substitution.

Q: Are all three parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. TAP106J025SCS, TAP106K006SCS, and TAP106M006SCS are all ROHS3 compliant with REACH unaffected status.

Q: What is the lead spacing for these parts?

A: All three parts have identical lead spacing of 0.098" (2.50mm), allowing direct PCB footprint compatibility.

Q: How does ESR differ between the main part and substitutes?

A: TAP106J025SCS has 2.5Ohm ESR, while both substitutes (TAP106K006SCS and TAP106M006SCS) have 6Ohm ESR. Higher ESR may affect circuit performance in applications sensitive to impedance characteristics.
