Is there a pin-compatible replacement for TPSA106K016R1000?

While several parts share the 1206 package, none are confirmed pin-to-pin replacements without review. Key parameters like ESR, tolerance, or chemistry differ, requiring engineering validation.

What risks should I check before replacing TPSA106K016R1000?

Key risks include higher ESR (Equivalent Series Resistance) which can affect power filtering and stability, wider capacitance tolerance impacting circuit precision, and different capacitor chemistry (Polymer vs. Solid) which has different derating and failure characteristics.
