Hello,
as a possible alternative for five MLCC 0603 10uF 6.3v caps in foresee of
the next PCB respin, I am seeking for a capacitor type that:

# is damn cheap and easy to source.
# is extremely reliable, even under strong mechanical vibrations.
# will not give problems when covered by epoxy resin.
# is possibily not too big, space-wise.
# needs to have the above qualities at 10uF values and >=3D6.3V

the following electrical characteristics are NOT too important, as the caps
will be used for filtering but not on a critical time-constant, just to rem=
ove
some noise. So I can trade these qualities:
Temperature coefficient can be bad.
Tolerance can be high.
It won't be used at temperatures higher than 60C or lower than -20C.

Ceramic, tantalum (god forbid!), electrolitic, polystyrene (10uF? I doubt)?

What do You suggest? :)

Thanks!
Mario


PS: this time no duplicates.. woohoo! :D
