AI Server MLCC for South Korea: Venatech, Walsin’s Authorised Distributor in Hong Kong, Supplies 169 Walsin X7R, X6S and X7S Capacitors at 10 µF or More

For AI server MLCC in South Korea, Walsin Technology (Walsin) offers 169 capacitors at 10 µF or more in 105 °C and 125 °C dielectrics, 114 of them X7R, and 9 reach 100 µF. Venatech Limited, an authorised Walsin distributor in Hong Kong, crosses your existing line to these parts free.


Venatech Limited, an authorised Walsin distributor in Hong Kong, wrote this for power-integrity and component engineers in South Korea whose server, accelerator or memory boards carry rows of bulk ceramic capacitors around the voltage regulators. We parsed Walsin’s MLCC export, 00_ALL_MLCC_parts_combined.xlsx (23,601 distinct part numbers), and our ready-stock list as at 23 September 2026. Every count below we re-measured on 11 November 2026, and every part number is real.

What did Samsung Electro-Mechanics report for the third quarter of 2026?

Record results. MoneyToday reported on 28 October 2026 that Samsung Electro-Mechanics posted third-quarter revenue of 3.7633 trillion won, up 30.3 percent year on year, and operating profit of 690.9 billion won, up 165.5 percent, both quarterly records; its Component Solutions (MLCC) unit took 1.883 trillion won.

The report credits higher sales of high-value MLCC for AI servers and says the company is expanding supply of high-capacity, high-reliability MLCC for that market, because power-hungry AI chips need capacitors that hold their current steady. Those are the paper’s figures; MoneyToday notes its English page is an AI-assisted translation of the Korean original. Our reading is simple: AI server boards in South Korea use more large-value, high-temperature MLCC per board, and a documented second source for each of those lines protects a build plan. We make no statement about any maker’s capacity.

How many Walsin MLCC at 10 µF or more are rated to 105 °C or 125 °C?

One hundred and sixty-nine. We counted 169 Walsin part numbers at 10 µF or more in X7R (114), X6S (49) and X7S (6) in 00_ALL_MLCC_parts_combined.xlsx, the dielectrics that hold their rating to 125 °C or 105 °C, which suits a hot board next to a VRM.

Case size X7R X6S X7S Total
0402 0 4 0 4
0603 0 6 0 6
0805 7 17 3 27

1210 55 11 1 67
1812, 2220, 2225 21 0 0 21
All 114 49 6 169

Three of the 169 were in our Hong Kong ready stock as at 23 September 2026: 1210B106K160 and 1210B106K250 (10 µF X7R, 16 V and 25 V) and 0805B106K100 (10 µF X7R, 10 V). Our MLCC range lists every family.

Which Walsin parts cross a 22 µF, 1210, X7R, 16 V AI server line?

Five match. We filtered the 23 Walsin 1210 rows at 22 µF in X7R or X6S against a brief of 22 µF, plus or minus 10 percent, X7R, 16 V or higher: 5 match on every export field, in three series, General Purpose, SH soft termination and ST, which is qualified to AEC-Q200.

Walsin part Series Tol. Rated V T (mm) Match / mismatch with the brief Your current line
1210B226K160 General Purpose ±10% 16 2.50±0.30 Match
1210B226J160 General Purpose ±5% 16 2.50±0.30 Match, tighter tolerance
1210B226K250 General Purpose ±10% 25 2.50±0.30 Match, higher voltage
SH32B226K160 SH soft termination ±10% 16 2.50±0.50 Match, flexible termination
ST32B226K160 ST, AEC-Q200 ±10% 16 2.50±0.50 Match, automotive soft termination
1210S226K250 General Purpose ±10% 25 2.50±0.30 Mismatch: X6S, rated to 105 °C
1210B226M160 General Purpose ±20% 16 2.50±0.30 Mismatch: tolerance wider

None of these seven was on the Hong Kong shelf as at 23 September 2026; request a quote and we source them through our authorised Walsin channel. The soft-termination rows are worth a look on large, thick server boards, where board flex is a known cause of MLCC cracks; our note on flex cracking and board bend explains why.

Where does Walsin reach 100 µF?

In 0805, 1206 and 1210. Among the 169 high-temperature parts, 9 reach 100 µF, all X6S or X7S, from 0805S107K4R0 (100 µF, 4 V, 0805) to 1210S107K100 and 1210S107M100 (100 µF, 10 V, 1210), with 1210A107M6R3 the X7S option.

That gives a Korean team two paths on the same footprint: 22 µF or 47 µF X7R for 125 °C margin, or 100 µF X6S where the board runs cooler and the extra capacitance cuts the part count. Read the DC-bias curve before choosing; a 4 V-rated 100 µF part on a 1 V core rail behaves very differently from the same part on 3.3 V.

What should a Korean server-board team check before approving a Walsin cross?

Bias, temperature and thickness. We check every crossed line on five export fields (size, dielectric, capacitance, tolerance, voltage) and then thickness, because the 1210 rows above list 2.50 mm with either a 0.30 mm or a 0.50 mm tolerance, which matters under a heat sink or a tight keep-out.

Then take the DC-bias and ripple-current curves from Walsin’s datasheet for the exact part number and run them through your power-integrity model. A cross on export fields is the start of a qualification, not the end of one. Our guide on qualifying a crossed part sets out a test plan. We give no legal, customs or certification advice; confirm with your compliance team.

How does Venatech help a South Korean buyer second-source AI server MLCC?

How Venatech helps is one paste away. Venatech, Walsin’s authorised distributor in Hong Kong, runs VenaMatch, which decodes part numbers from 18 manufacturers, Samsung Electro-Mechanics among them, and crosses 800,000+ parts to Walsin with each field marked match or mismatch.

Paste up to 500 lines into the cross-reference tool or load a whole BOM. The ready-stock list is a Hong Kong snapshot dated 23 September 2026. For lines that are not on it, request a quote; we source them through our authorised Walsin channel and quote small lots fast from Hong Kong. We give no stock or delivery promise. Walsin is the line we are authorised for; Stackpole and Viking are lines we supply.

The short version

Samsung Electro-Mechanics reported a record quarter on AI server MLCC. For South Korean server boards, Walsin offers 169 MLCC at 10 µF or more in X7R, X6S and X7S, and a 22 µF 1210 X7R 16 V line crosses to five Walsin parts in three series.

Send us your bulk-capacitor lines and we will return the Walsin matches with every difference stated.
