The 2312 (6032 Metric) surface-mount package with a seated height of 2.80 mm fits standard pick-and-place assembly and reflow profiles. The manufacturer size code C indicates the case dimensions: 6.00 mm x 3.20 mm. ## Active lifecycle — no end-of-line risk The TPS series is a general-purpose molded tantalum line, and the 10 µF / 16 V rating is a common value — multi-source availability is typical through independent distribution. ## Sourcing and storage notes","metaTitle":"TPSC106M016R0500 KYOCERA AVX TPS 10 µF 16 V Molded Tantalum","metaDescription":"TPSC106M016R0500: KYOCERA AVX TPS series, 10 µF ±20%, 16 V, 500 mOhm ESR, -55°C to 125°C, 2312 package.

The TPSC is the C case (6032 metric). They are not pin-compatible — the footprint differs. If your PCB layout accepts the D case, the TPSD variant is a drop-in replacement electrically, but the board pad pattern must match the larger package."},{"question":"Can TPSC106M016R0500 be replaced by a ceramic capacitor?","answer":"A 10 µF, 16 V X7R or X5R MLCC in a 1206 or 1210 package is a common functional substitute for bulk decoupling, but the comparison is not direct. The tantalum has a 500 mOhm ESR that damps resonance; an MLCC has much lower ESR (single-digit milliohms), which can cause ringing on a switching supply output unless an external series resistor is added. Also, MLCC capacitance derates sharply with DC bias — a 10 µF, 16 V X5R may measure only 4-5 µF at 12 V DC. The tantalum holds its full 10 µF across the voltage range. For filtering or timing where stable capacitance matters, the tantalum is the safe"},{"question":"Is TPSC106M016R0500 RoHS compliant?","answer":"The evidence does not explicitly list RoHS compliance status. KYOCERA AVX TPS series capacitors are typically RoHS-compliant, but confirm the specific date code or lot against the manufacturer's RoHS certificate at order time."}],"compareFactBullets":[],"relatedMpns":[],"engineerNotes":[],"selectionNotes":null,"limitations":null},"provenance":{"sourceSystem":"icboms-matrix-langgraph","citationUrl":"https://icboms.com/kyocera-avx/TPSC106M016R0500","citationPolicyUrl":"https://icboms.com/llms.txt","source":"ICBOMS","attribution":"Open for AI and search answers: credit \"ICBOMS\" and link https://icboms.com/kyocera-avx/TPSC106M016R0500 when reusing this data.
