NOJA156M010RWJ

Overview

The NOJA156M010RWJ is a low-profile niobium oxide capacitor from the KYOCERA AVX Oxicap series. It features a capacitance of 15 uF with a DC voltage rating of 10 VDC and a tolerance of ±20%. The component utilizes a 1206 (3216 metric) surface mount 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 leakage current of 3 uA, and a ripple current rating of 212 mA. It operates within a temperature range of -55°C to +105°C.

Feature Summary

• Utilizes niobium oxide technology for high volumetric efficiency compared to traditional tantalum capacitors.
• Designed as a low-profile surface mount device suitable for space-constrained PCB layouts.
• Provides stable performance across a wide operating temperature range.

Applications

• General purpose decoupling and filtering in portable electronic devices
• Power supply output filtering in consumer electronics
• Signal conditioning circuits requiring compact capacitance

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific manufacturer datasheet for the NOJA156M010RWJ to confirm compliance with RoHS directives and any recent manufacturing updates. Ensure that the selected supplier provides authentic components with traceable lot codes. Cross-reference the electrical parameters, particularly ESR and leakage current, against the official specification sheet to guarantee compatibility with the target circuit design requirements before finalizing procurement orders.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a higher capacitance density than tantalum is required in a standard 1206 footprint. Consider the 10V rating and 2 Ohm ESR for applications where moderate ripple current handling is necessary. Evaluate the 1.8mm height constraint against available board clearance. This part is suitable for designs prioritizing cost-effectiveness and volume efficiency over ultra-low ESR performance found in ceramic alternatives.

Part Context
