Best Alternatives to T491B107M010AT

Package: 1411 (3528 Metric)KEMETTantalum CapacitorsSeries: T491Package: Tape & Reel (TR); Cut Tape (CT); Digi-Reel®Capacitance: 100 µFTolerance: ±20%Voltage - Rated: 10 V

T491B107M010AT is a 100µF, 10V, 20% tolerance tantalum capacitor in a 3528-21 (B) package. Finding a direct drop-in replacement requires matching these key parameters and the physical case size.

AI replacement insight

Package riskhigh

All viable electrical alternatives are in a larger package, requiring PCB redesign.

Electrical risklow

Functional alternatives meet or exceed voltage, tolerance, and ESR specifications.

Can it be replaced directly?

No direct pin-compatible replacements were found in this review. Several functional alternatives exist but have a larger package, requiring board redesign.

Best replacement path

Search for capacitors with 100µF capacitance, voltage ≥ 10V, and a 3528-21 (B) package. Tighter tolerance (e.g., ±10%) is generally acceptable.

Main risk

The primary risk is package mismatch. Using an alternative with a different case size like 7343-31 (D-case) will not fit on the existing PCB footprint.
