• Designed for compatibility with standard reflow soldering processes, supporting up to three reflow cycles at 260°C.
• Provides low Equivalent Series Resistance (ESR) to support efficient power delivery in compact circuit designs.

Applications

• Smart meter applications requiring reliable energy storage
• Alternate energy systems utilizing Niobium Oxide capacitors
• Compact consumer electronics demanding high capacitance in small footprints

Procurement Notes

Verify that the specific order matches the NOJC686M010RWJ part number, as the NOJ series includes variants with different voltage ratings and package sizes. Confirm RoHS compliance status and lead times directly with the manufacturer or authorized distributors, as production schedules may vary. Ensure handling procedures align with the component's moisture sensitivity level and thermal characteristics during assembly.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a high capacitance-to-volume ratio is required in space-constrained designs. The 10V rating and 68µF value suit applications needing moderate energy storage with low ESR. Consider the 2312 package dimensions for PCB layout constraints. Compare against tantalum alternatives if higher voltage ratings or different failure modes are critical for the specific application environment.

Part Context

This capacitor belongs to the OxiCap NOJ series, which represents KYOCERA AVX's line of Niobium Oxide capacitors. These components bridge the gap between solid tantalum and polymer capacitors, offering high reliability and volumetric efficiency. The NOJ series is engineered for applications where size reduction and performance stability are prioritized over traditional ceramic or tantalum solutions.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes within the same series include NOJC686M006RWJ (6.3V) and NOJC686M010RWJ variants with different tolerances. Cross-series replacements such as TAJB686M010RNJ (Tantalum) offer similar capacitance but differ in material properties and failure characteristics. Verify pinout and thermal compatibility before substitution.
