A functional alternative with better ESR and higher voltage, but in a larger package requiring board redesign.
Finding a substitute for the KEMET T520B227M006ATE035, a 220µF 6.3V low-ESR polymer tantalum capacitor, requires careful review. While no direct pin-compatible options were found, several functional alternatives exist with superior electricals in a larger package.
Alternatives are in a larger case (EIA 7343 vs 3528), requiring board redesign.
Many alternatives offer equivalent or better voltage and ESR ratings.
Alternatives from major manufacturers like Panasonic are widely available.
No direct pin-compatible replacement was found. All suitable alternatives have a larger package size (EIA D-Case 7343) compared to the target's EIA B-Case (3528).
Use a functional alternative like Panasonic's 10TPE220ML, which offers superior electrical performance but requires changing the PCB layout to accommodate the larger EIA D-Case package.
The primary risk is mechanical incompatibility. All viable alternatives require a larger footprint on the circuit board, making them unsuitable as drop-in replacements.

| Feature / factor | T520B227M006ATE035 | 10TPE220ML | PXTD010M227E040STU | Alt 3 | Compatibility / risk |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Package | 3528 (EIA B-Case) | D3L (EIA 7343) | D Case (EIA 7343) | D3L (EIA 7343) / D Case (EIA 7343) — Larger package requires PCB layout change.; PXTD010M227E040STU: Larger package requires PCB layout change. | |
| Voltage | 6.3V | 10V | 10V | 10V — Higher voltage rating provides more design margin.; PXTD010M227E040STU: Higher voltage rating provides more design margin. | |
| Esr | 35mΩ | 25mΩ | 40mΩ | 25mΩ / 40mΩ — Lower ESR improves filtering performance.; PXTD010M227E040STU: Slightly higher ESR may affect performance. | |
| Tolerance | ±20% | ±20% | - | ±20% — matched |
The best alternative is 10TPE220ML from Panasonic. It offers a higher voltage rating (10V) and lower ESR (25mΩ), but it comes in a larger package (EIA D-Case) that requires a PCB layout change.
