TMK107BJ106MA-T Overview
A multilayer ceramic capacitor is a passive component that stores charge in a ceramic dielectric between alternating metal electrode layers. MLCCs form the largest volume segment of the passive components market and sit within the broader component hierarchy: MLCC -> ceramic capacitor -> capacitor -> passive component. X5R dielectric is a Class 2 temperature-stable ceramic characterized by a capacitance variation of +/-15% over the -55C to +85C temperature range, making it the standard choice for decoupling and bulk bypass duties where volumetric efficiency matters.
Key features of the TMK107BJ106MA-T include its high 10 uF capacitance in a 1.6 x 0.8 mm footprint, a 25 V rating that covers 24 V industrial rails with margin, +/-20% tolerance (M characteristic), and lead-free, RoHS-compatible termination. Compared with older 10 uF solutions such as 1206 parts or tantalum capacitors, this MLCC delivers lower ESR, no dry-out aging mechanism, and significant board-space savings.
Technically, the high-dielectric X5R formulation achieves this capacitance density by using a barium-titanate-based ceramic with thin dielectric layers and nickel internal electrodes. Designers must account for DC bias derating: like all Class 2 MLCCs, effective capacitance decreases as applied DC voltage approaches the rated voltage, a characteristic documented in the manufacturer datasheet and simulation tools.
Typical applications include power-supply input and output bulk decoupling for DC-DC converters, decoupling of FPGAs and microcontrollers, mobile phone power distribution, and general board-level bypass. Its 25 V rating makes it suitable for 12 V and 24 V rail environments where lower-voltage 0603 parts such as the 6.3 V JMK107BJ106MA-T cannot be used.
A key design consideration is piezoelectric acoustic noise (singing) in Class 2 dielectrics and the DC bias effect, so verification of effective capacitance at operating bias is recommended before finalizing values. Avoid flex-crack exposure by minimizing board bending near capacitor locations.

Typical Applications
TMK107BJ106MA-T is suitable for 6 applications: DC-DC Converter Input/Output Bulk Decoupling, Mobile Phone and Portable Device Power Distribution, FPGA and Microcontroller Decoupling Networks, AV and Office Equipment Power Supplies, RF and Communication Module Supply Filtering, Automotive-Adjacent and Industrial Sensor Boards.
DC-DC Converter Input/Output Bulk Decoupling
The TMK107BJ106MA-T fits buck and boost converter input/output filtering because its 25 V rating covers 24 V industrial rails and its 10 uF capacitance smooths switching ripple. Placed at the input pin of a 24 V buck converter, it supplements bulk electrolytics with low-ESR ceramic charge storage, reducing input ripple current stress; at the output, it sets part of the control-loop output impedance. Because X5R capacitance drops under DC bias, designers should verify effective capacitance at actual operating voltage and temperature using the manufacturer's DC bias curves, and upsize nominal value if the effective capacitance at bias falls below the converter's stability requirement.

Mobile Phone and Portable Device Power Distribution
Taiyo Yuden explicitly targets information and communication equipment including mobile phones for the TMK107 family, and the 0603 case size supports the density those designs demand. At 1.6 x 0.8 mm, the part delivers 10 uF of bulk bypass for PMIC output rails, camera-flash supplies, and audio amplifiers while conserving board area. The X5R dielectric maintains capacitance within +/-15% over -55C to +85C, adequate for handheld environments. Designers should account for mechanical flex cracks in thin portable assemblies by placing capacitors away from board bend points and using the manufacturer's recommended land pattern to minimize solder-joint stress during drop events.
Recommended
FPGA and Microcontroller Decoupling Networks
High-speed digital devices such as FPGAs and MCUs require a dense decoupling network spanning nF to tens of uF; the TMK107BJ106MA-T serves as the 10 uF bulk tier per rail. Its low ESR relative to tantalum or electrolytic alternatives gives low impedance at the frequencies where PDN droop occurs during simultaneous switching. The 25 V rating also permits use on 12 V I/O or peripheral rails. Best practice is to combine one 10 uF X5R per voltage rail with nearby 0.1 uF and 0.01 uF MLCCs, keeping all loops short; because Class 2 dielectrics exhibit DC bias and aging effects, budget effective rather than nominal capacitance in PDN impedance targets.

AV and Office Equipment Power Supplies
The manufacturer spec sheet designates this product for general electronic equipment including AV equipment, OA equipment, and home electric appliances. In set-top boxes, displays, and printers, the TMK107BJ106MA-T decouples standby-power converter outputs and analog supply rails where its 25 V rating covers wide-input flyback secondary rails of 12 V to 24 V. The X5R dielectric's stability to +85C suits enclosed consumer housings, and its reflow-process compatibility with nickel-barrier terminations supports high-volume SMT assembly. Engineers should confirm effective capacitance under bias and avoid operation at the 25 V limit with significant ripple voltage superimposed, to preserve lifetime margins.
Recommended
RF and Communication Module Supply Filtering
Communication modules - cellular, Wi-Fi, GNSS - burst current at transmit and need local bulk capacitance to prevent supply droop and frequency error. The TMK107BJ106MA-T provides 10 uF at module power pins, and its ceramic construction adds minimal series inductance compared with electrolytic alternatives, keeping decoupling effective into the tens of MHz where module regulator loops lose bandwidth. The 25 V rating supports wide-input PA supplies of 12 V and above. Place the capacitor within a few millimeters of the module supply pin with short, wide traces; add a 0.1 uF MLCC in parallel for high-frequency content, and verify bias derating because PA supply rails run close to the module's maximum rating.
Recommended
Automotive-Adjacent and Industrial Sensor Boards
On industrial sensor and actuator boards operating from 24 V backplanes, the TMK107BJ106MA-T filters locally regulated 5 V and 3.3 V rails and can sit directly on 24 V supervision inputs within its 25 V rating. Its -55C to +85C X5R range covers most factory-floor ambient conditions, and RoHS-compliant lead-free construction meets industrial environmental requirements. Note that this TMK107 general-purpose series is not AEC-Q200 qualified, so it should not be specified for safety-critical automotive positions - use an automotive MLCC series there instead. On the board, keep capacitors away from screw bosses and connector edges where PCB flexure during installation risks ceramic cracking.

Key Differentiators
- Highest voltage rating in the 10 uF 0603 M-series family (vs JMK107BJ106MA-T)

- Looser tolerance yields cost savings vs K-grade parts (vs C1608X5R1E106K080AC)
Design Notes
DC bias derating is the single most important design factor for this 10 uF X5R part: effective capacitance can fall to a fraction of the nominal 10 uF when biased near the 25 V rating. On a 24 V rail, do not assume 10 uF of effective bulk capacitance - consult the Taiyo Yuden DC bias characteristic (datasheet or SimSurfing tool) and upsize nominal capacitance or parallel multiple parts so that effective capacitance at bias meets the converter stability or PDN target.
Class 2 ceramic capacitors are susceptible to flex cracking. Place the TMK107BJ106MA-T away from board edge rails, screw bosses, connector mounting points, and panel break lines where PCB bending concentrates stress. Follow the manufacturer's recommended land pattern to control fillet height and solder volume; excessive solder increases the strain transferred to the ceramic body during thermal cycling and board flex, leading to shorts between crack-bridged electrodes.
Acoustic singing: X5R dielectrics are piezoelectric, so a capacitor across a rail carrying significant AC ripple (for example, the output of a PWM-controlled LED driver or DC-DC converter) can vibrate audibly in quiet environments. If audible noise is a concern, consider using an anti-singing construction (e.g., Taiyo Yuden M3/MZ series metal-frame or C0G-parallel solutions) or spread ripple across parallel capacitors. Also verify ripple current rating for high-ripple positions to prevent self-heating.
