Product details

Molded tantalum for bulk decoupling and filtering

The TPSC106M016R0500 is a molded tantalum capacitor from the KYOCERA AVX TPS series, rated at 10 µF capacitance with ±20% tolerance and a 16 V voltage rating. 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

Frequently asked questions

Is TPSC106M016R0500 equivalent to TPSD106M016R0500?

The TPSD106M016R0500 is the same capacitance, voltage, and tolerance but in a larger D case (7343 metric). 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.

Can TPSC106M016R0500 be replaced by a ceramic capacitor?

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

Is TPSC106M016R0500 RoHS compliant?

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.
