NOJA226M006RWJ

Overview

The KYOCERA AVX NOJA226M006RWJ is a low-profile Niobium Oxide capacitor from the Oxicap NOJ series. It features a capacitance of 22 µF with a ±20% tolerance and a DC voltage rating of 6.3 VDC. 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 1.8 Ohms, a ripple current rating of 224 mA, and a leakage current of 2.6 µA. It operates within a temperature range of -55°C to +105°C.

Feature Summary

• Utilizes niobium oxide dielectric technology for stable performance.
• Designed as a low-profile surface mount device for space-constrained applications.
• Offers high reliability and robustness against mechanical shock compared to traditional tantalum capacitors.

Applications

• Portable consumer electronics requiring compact power filtering
• Automotive infotainment and control modules
• Industrial equipment with strict size limitations

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix RWJ to confirm the 1206 package and standard termination type. Confirm RoHS compliance status through official manufacturer documentation prior to integration. Ensure that the 6.3V DC rating provides adequate derating for the target circuit's maximum operating voltage to maintain long-term reliability and prevent premature failure under thermal stress conditions.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a low ESR and high ripple current capability are required in a small footprint. Compare against TAJA226M006RNJ if higher temperature ratings up to 125°C are needed, noting the difference in dielectric material. Consider TCJA226M006R0300 for applications demanding significantly lower ESR values, while acknowledging the trade-offs in cost and availability relative to niobium oxide alternatives.

Part Context

This part belongs to the KYOCERA AVX Oxicap NOJ family, which specializes in niobium oxide capacitors. These components serve as alternatives to solid tantalum capacitors, offering improved surge handling and reduced susceptibility to catastrophic failure modes. The NOJ series is engineered for modern electronics where miniaturization and reliability are critical design constraints.

Replacement Considerations

NOJA226M006SWJ: Same capacitance and voltage but in a 1206 package with slightly different ESR (1.8 Ohms). Verify package compatibility as both are 1206 but check dimensional tolerances carefully.
