TARR106M006 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The TARR106M006 is a 10 µF molded tantalum capacitor rated at 6.3 V with ±20% tolerance, manufactured by KYOCERA AVX in axial through-hole configuration. This part is classified as obsolete, making equivalent and substitute parts necessary for ongoing design support and procurement. The TAR series represents legacy tantalum capacitor technology that has been superseded by active product lines from major manufacturers including Vishay Sprague and KEMET.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution for the TARR106M006 is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Capacitance Value: Must be 10 µF (exact match required)
• Voltage Rating: Minimum 6.3 V; higher ratings (10 V) are acceptable as they provide improved safety margin
• Tolerance: ±20% or tighter (±10%, ±5%) are acceptable
• Package Type: Axial through-hole configuration required
• Mounting: Through-hole only
• Temperature Range: -55°C to 125°C minimum

Substitute parts are grouped into three categories based on voltage rating and tolerance specifications:

Category 1 - Direct Voltage Match (6 V rated): 173D106X0006VWE3 provides equivalent voltage rating with improved RoHS3 compliance.

Category 2 - Upgraded Voltage (10 V rated): 173D106X0010VW, 173D106X5010V, and 173D106X9010VW offer higher voltage ratings with varying tolerance levels (±20%, ±5%, ±10% respectively).

Category 3 - Alternative Manufacturer (10 V rated): T322B106K010AS from KEMET provides 10 V rating with ±10% tolerance and 5 Ohm ESR specification.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

For RoHS3 Compliant Applications: Select 173D106X0006VWE3. This part maintains the original 6 V voltage rating and ±20% tolerance while providing active product status and RoHS3 compliance certification. Voltage rating is equivalent to the original specification.

For Applications Requiring Voltage Margin: Select from the 10 V rated options (173D106X0010VW, 173D106X5010V, or 173D106X9010VW). These parts provide improved voltage safety margin while maintaining 10 µF capacitance and through-hole axial package compatibility. Choose based on tolerance requirements: ±20% (173D106X0010VW), ±5% (173D106X5010V), or ±10% (173D106X9010VW).

For ESR-Sensitive Applications: Select T322B106K010AS from KEMET. This part specifies 5 Ohm ESR, providing lower equivalent series resistance compared to the original 6 Ohm specification. Rated at 10 V with ±10% tolerance.

All substitute parts maintain active product status, through-hole axial configuration, and -55°C to 125°C operating temperature range required for direct replacement.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can I use a 10 V rated substitute in place of the 6.3 V original part?

A: Yes. A higher voltage rating provides improved safety margin and is electrically compatible. The 10 V rated parts (173D106X0010VW, 173D106X5010V, 173D106X9010VW, T322B106K010AS) are direct functional replacements for the 6.3 V original specification.

Q: What is the difference between the three Vishay 10 V options?

A: The three Vishay 173D series parts differ only in tolerance specification: 173D106X0010VW (±20%), 173D106X5010V (±5%), and 173D106X9010VW (±10%). All other electrical and mechanical parameters are identical. Select based on circuit tolerance requirements.

Q: Is the 173D106X0006VWE3 a better choice than the 10 V options?

A: The 173D106X0006VWE3 maintains the original 6 V voltage rating and offers RoHS3 compliance. However, it does not specify ESR. For applications where voltage margin is beneficial, the 10 V rated options provide additional design safety. For RoHS3 compliance requirements specifically, 173D106X0006VWE3 is the appropriate selection.

Q: Are there physical size differences between the original and substitutes?

A: The original TARR106M006 measures 0.098" diameter × 0.291" length. Substitute parts measure 0.110" diameter × 0.290" length. These dimensions are within typical axial capacitor tolerance ranges and are compatible with standard through-hole PCB layouts. Verify PCB footprint clearance for your specific application.

Q: What does the ESR specification mean for my application?

A: ESR (Equivalent Series Resistance) affects ripple current handling and frequency response. The original part specifies 6 Ohm ESR. The T322B106K010AS substitute specifies 5 Ohm ESR, providing slightly better high-frequency performance. Other substitutes do not specify ESR but are functionally equivalent for general-purpose applications.

Q: Can I mix different substitute parts in the same design?

A: Yes, all listed substitutes are electrically and mechanically compatible. However, for consistency in procurement and performance, select a single part number for production designs.
