A Kyocera MLCC cross reference in Japan can start from 293 Walsin Technology (Walsin) capacitors rated 10 µF or more, from 0402 to 2225, with 19 held in Hong Kong ready stock as at 23 September 2026. Venatech Limited, an authorised Walsin distributor in Hong Kong, decodes your Kyocera line and returns the Walsin match.
Venatech Limited, an authorised Walsin distributor in Hong Kong, wrote this for design and component engineers in Japan who carry Kyocera or KYOCERA AVX multilayer ceramic capacitors on a bill of materials and want a qualified second source for the bulk decoupling lines. We parsed Walsin’s MLCC export, 00_ALL_MLCC_parts_combined.xlsx (24,026 rows, 23,601 distinct part numbers), and our ready-stock list as at 23 September 2026. Every part number below is real and every count is ours, re-measured on 11 November 2026.
What did Kyocera report for the half to September 2026?
A record half. TechNews reported on 3 November 2026 that Kyocera’s consolidated revenue for April to September 2026 reached about 1.0783 trillion yen, up 8.8 percent, a record for the period, with electronic components revenue up 23.2 percent and that segment’s July to September orders up 48.1 percent.
The same report says Kyocera tied the strong orders to MLCC demand for AI data centres and high-value semiconductor packages, and raised its full-year revenue forecast from 2.08 trillion to 2.12 trillion yen. Those are the company’s figures as reported, not ours. We draw one practical conclusion: when a Japanese maker’s MLCC order book grows this quickly, a buyer who already holds a documented second source for the same value, size and dielectric has more options. We say nothing about Kyocera’s capacity or deliveries; the article does not, and neither do we.
Which Walsin MLCC values reach 10 µF or more, and in which case sizes?
Eight case sizes, from 0402 to 2225. We counted 293 Walsin part numbers at 10 µF or more in 00_ALL_MLCC_parts_combined.xlsx: 124 X5R, 114 X7R, 49 X6S and 6 X7S, with the most in 1210 (104) and 1206 (83).
| Case size | X5R | X7R | X6S | X7S | Total | In Hong Kong ready stock |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 0402 | 5 | 0 | 4 | 0 | 9 | 1 |
| 0603 | 14 | 0 | 6 | 0 | 20 | 5 |
| 0805 | 29 | 7 | 17 | 3 | 56 | 8 |

| All | 124 | 114 | 49 | 6 | 293 | 19 |
Of the 293, 208 sit in Walsin’s General Purpose series; the rest are soft-termination (SH, 32), automotive (MT, MG and ST, 22), low-profile (TT, 16) and big-size (15) parts. The 19 we hold are all General Purpose parts, from 0402X226M6R3 (22 µF, 6.3 V, 0402) to 1210B106K250 (10 µF, 25 V, X7R). Our MLCC range lists the families.
Which Walsin parts cross a 10 µF, 0603, X5R, 6.3 V line?
Two match exactly and four are close. We filtered the 20 Walsin 0603 parts at 10 µF or more against a brief of 10 µF, plus or minus 10 percent, X5R, 6.3 V or higher, 0.8 mm thick: 3 rows match on every export field, and 2 of those are on our Hong Kong shelf.

A higher rated voltage at the same size usually holds more capacitance under DC bias, which is why the 10 V and 16 V rows are worth a look for a 3.3 V or 5 V rail. Confirm the DC-bias curve on the Walsin datasheet for the exact part number; the export does not carry it. Our guide on how to cross-reference an MLCC walks through each field.
Why does a second source for high-capacitance MLCC matter in Japan now?
Because the same values serve AI and everything else. Kyocera’s own commentary links its record half to AI data-centre MLCC demand, and those 10 µF to 100 µF parts are the same values Japanese automotive, industrial and consumer boards use for bulk decoupling.
A second source on the approved vendor list does not mean switching suppliers. It means the drawing names two qualified parts, so a purchase can follow the one with stock when the other is committed elsewhere. Walsin’s catalogue reaches 100 µF in 0805, 1206 and 1210 X6S, which gives the same footprint a path upward if a later board revision needs more capacitance. Our note on second-sourcing passive components without redesigning the board covers the approval steps.
What should a Japanese engineer check before approving a cross?
Five fields and one curve. We check size, dielectric, capacitance, tolerance and rated voltage against the export, then thickness, because all 20 Walsin 0603 rows at 10 µF or more list a 0.80 mm nominal, while the 1210 rows run from 0.85 mm to 2.50 mm.
Then read the DC-bias and temperature curves on Walsin’s datasheet for the exact part. Two capacitors with the same code can lose different amounts of capacitance at 3.3 V. If the board is automotive, use the AEC-Q200 MT or ST series and ask for the qualification documents through the site. We give no legal, customs or certification advice; confirm with your compliance team.
How does Venatech help a Japanese buyer cross Kyocera MLCC to Walsin?
How Venatech helps starts with one paste. Venatech, Walsin’s authorised distributor in Hong Kong, runs VenaMatch, which decodes part numbers from 18 manufacturers and crosses 800,000+ parts to Walsin, marking each field as a match or a 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 any line not on it, request a quote and we source it through our authorised Walsin channel. We serve from Hong Kong in small lots, with fast quotes through the site. 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
Kyocera reported a record half on AI-related MLCC demand. For a Japanese BOM, Walsin offers 293 MLCC at 10 µF or more, and a 10 µF 0603 X5R 6.3 V line crosses to 0603X106K6R3, which Venatech holds in Hong Kong.
Send us your Kyocera or KYOCERA AVX bulk-capacitor lines and we will return the Walsin matches with every difference stated.

Frequently asked questions
What did Kyocera report in Japan for April to September 2026?
TechNews reported on 3 November 2026 that Kyocera’s revenue for the half reached about 1.0783 trillion yen, up 8.8 percent and a record for the period, with electronic components revenue up 23.2 percent. The company raised its full-year revenue forecast to 2.12 trillion yen. These are the reported figures, not ours.
How many Walsin MLCC reach 10 µF or more?
We counted 293 part numbers at 10 µF or more in Walsin’s MLCC export: 124 X5R, 114 X7R, 49 X6S and 6 X7S, across case sizes from 0402 to 2225. Nineteen were in our Hong Kong ready stock as at 23 September 2026.
Which Walsin part crosses a 10 µF 0603 X5R 6.3 V Kyocera line?
0603X106K6R3 matches on size, dielectric, capacitance, plus or minus 10 percent tolerance and voltage, and 0603X106K100 matches at a higher voltage. Both were on our Hong Kong shelf as at 23 September 2026. Confirm DC bias on the Walsin datasheet.
Does Venatech say Kyocera MLCC are hard to get in Japan?
No. The source reports strong orders and a record half; it says nothing about deliveries and neither do we. A second source is good practice for any high-volume value, whoever the first source is.
Can Venatech supply AEC-Q200 high-capacitance MLCC to Japan?
Walsin’s automotive MT and ST series include parts at 10 µF or more. Request a quote through the site and we source them through our authorised Walsin channel. Confirm the qualification documents with your quality team.
Is Venatech an authorised Walsin distributor?
Yes. Venatech Limited is an authorised Walsin distributor in Hong Kong, serving buyers in Japan and elsewhere in small lots with fast quotes from Hong Kong.
