NOJA156M006RWJ

Overview

The NOJA156M006RWJ is a niobium oxide capacitor from the OxiCap NOJ series, manufactured by KYOCERA AVX. It features a capacitance of 15 µF with a ±20% tolerance and a DC voltage rating of 6.3 V. The component utilizes a surface-mount 1206 (3216 metric) package, measuring 3.2 mm in length, 1.6 mm in width, and 1.8 mm in height. Key electrical specifications include an equivalent series resistance (ESR) of 2 Ohms, a dissipation factor of 6%, and a leakage current of 1.8 µA. It supports a ripple current of 212 mA and operates within a temperature range of -55°C to +105°C.

Feature Summary

• Utilizes niobium oxide technology for stable performance across wide temperature ranges.
• Offers low profile surface-mount construction suitable for space-constrained designs.
• Provides high capacitance density relative to physical footprint size.

Applications

• Smart meter applications
• Alternate energy system components
• General purpose surface-mount circuit filtering

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against the manufacturer datasheet to ensure correct packaging configuration, as variations exist between tape-and-reel, cut tape, and Digi-Reel formats. Confirm that the requested quantity aligns with standard factory pack sizes or minimum order requirements defined by authorized distributors. Ensure compliance with RoHS3 standards and check for any recent product change notices affecting availability or specifications before finalizing procurement orders.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a compact, high-capacitance solution is required for low-voltage circuits. The 1206 package offers a balance between current handling capabilities and board space efficiency. Consider the 2 Ohm ESR value for ripple current management in power supply filtering applications. The -55°C to +105°C operating range makes it suitable for industrial environments where thermal stability is critical for long-term reliability.

Part Context

This part belongs to the OxiCap NOJ series of niobium oxide capacitors, designed as alternatives to traditional tantalum capacitors. The series emphasizes safety and reliability, particularly in applications prone to voltage spikes. The NOJA prefix indicates the specific case size and termination style within the broader NOJ family, distinguishing it from other variants like the TAJA series which uses molded tantalum technology.

Replacement Considerations

TAJA156K006RNJ is listed as an upgrade alternative by the manufacturer, though it utilizes different tantalum technology. Verify compatibility regarding ESR differences and thermal characteristics when substituting.
