• Designed for surface mount applications in space-constrained environments.
• Provides low equivalent series resistance for efficient power supply filtering.

Applications

• Smartphone and tablet PC power circuits
• Wearable device power management
• Consumer equipment such as flat TVs and PCs

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'NOSA' against official KYOCERA AVX documentation to confirm the exact niobium oxide variant and its associated mechanical tolerances. Ensure that the 1206 footprint matches the target PCB design constraints. Confirm RoHS compliance status through the manufacturer's latest certification documents before finalizing procurement specifications.

Selection Notes

Select this component when niobium oxide offers advantages over tantalum regarding safety and raw material availability. The 1206 package provides a balance between capacitance density and physical size. Consider the 1.5 Ohm ESR for ripple current handling requirements in the specific application circuit.

Part Context

This part belongs to the OxiCap family, representing KYOCERA AVX's niobium oxide capacitor line. These components serve as alternatives to traditional tantalum capacitors, offering similar electrical performance with enhanced safety profiles due to non-burn technology. The series targets high-volume consumer electronics manufacturing.

Replacement Considerations

Public confirmed substitute part numbers are not available in the provided documentation. Verify compatibility with NOJA156M004SWJ or NOMA156M004R1500 only if their datasheets explicitly state interchangeability.
