Is there a pin-compatible replacement for 6TPE100MAZB?

No direct pin-to-pin verified replacement is listed. T520B107M006ATE040 is a likely form-fit match, but requires footprint verification. Panasonic's 6TPE150MAZB shares the package but has 50% higher capacitance.

What risks should I check before replacing 6TPE100MAZB?

Key risks include package mismatch, as many alternatives use different SMD footprints. Also, verify ESR and ripple current ratings. Using a different capacitance value, even if higher, can alter circuit performance.

The Panasonic 6TPE100MAZB is a 100µF, 6.3V polymer tantalum capacitor in a compact B2 package. Finding a substitute requires matching capacitance, voltage, and the 3528 SMD footprint.

AI replacement insight

Electrical risklow

Low if capacitance, voltage, and ESR are matched.

Package riskhigh

Many candidates have incompatible footprints. Verification is critical.

Sourcing risklow

Polymer tantalum caps in this size are available from multiple vendors.

Can it be replaced directly?

No drop-in replacement has been verified. T520B107M006ATE040 is a strong candidate that requires package verification.

Best replacement path

KEMET's T520B107M006ATE040 offers the closest parametric match. The primary action is to verify its 3528-21 package is compatible with the target's B2 land pattern.

Main risk

The main risk is physical incompatibility. Many functional alternatives are in different SMD packages (e.g., cylindrical cans) that will not fit the PCB layout.

Recommended alternatives

Form-fit compatible with identical voltage, but has a higher capacitance of 150µF.
