KEMET
Pin-compatible candidate with higher voltage rating but also higher ESR; engineering review is required.
The Vishay 293D107X9016D2TE3 is a 100µF, 16V, ±10% solid tantalum capacitor in a D/7343-31 case. Finding a substitute requires matching capacitance, voltage, and package, while carefully considering ESR and tolerance.
ESR and tolerance differences require analysis.
Candidates use the same standard package.
Direct replacement for 293D107X9016D2TE3 should use only Datasheet verified or Strong match candidates; many approved options still require engineering review.
The best path is finding a part with identical or better specs. T491D107K020AT is a strong candidate but has higher ESR. All options require review.
The main risks are changes in ESR and capacitance tolerance, which can impact circuit stability, filtering effectiveness, and timing.
