Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the 2R5TPE680MFL are qualified based on the following critical parameters:

• Capacitance: 680 µF (exact match required)
• Voltage Rating: 2.5 V (exact match required)
• ESR: 15 mOhm @ 100 kHz (exact match required)
• Package: 2917 (7343 Metric) (exact match required)
• Mounting Type: Surface Mount (exact match required)
• Operating Temperature: -55°C ~ 105°C (exact match required)
• Lifetime: 2000 Hrs @ 105°C (exact match required)
• Type: Molded Tantalum Polymer (exact match required)
• Tolerance: ±20% (exact match required)

All identified substitutes meet these electrical and mechanical parameters, ensuring direct functional equivalence in circuit applications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All three parts—2R5TPE680MFL, 2R5TAE680MFL, and T520D687M2R5ATE015—are active production components with ROHS3 compliance and EAR99 export classification. Selection among these equivalents may be based on:

• Manufacturer preference and supply chain strategy
• Inventory availability and lead times
• Series-specific design requirements (POSCAP™ TPE, POSCAP™ TA, or KO-CAP® T520)
• Height clearance considerations: The KEMET T520D687M2R5ATE015 has a maximum seated height of 0.122" (3.10mm) compared to 0.118" (3.00mm) for both Panasonic variants

All parts meet identical electrical specifications and are suitable for direct substitution in applications requiring 680 µF at 2.5 V with 15 mOhm ESR in the 2917 package.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 2R5TAE680MFL be used as a direct replacement for the 2R5TPE680MFL?

A: Yes. Both parts are manufactured by Panasonic, share identical electrical parameters (680 µF, 2.5 V, 15 mOhm ESR), and are housed in the same 2917 (7343 Metric) package. The primary difference is the series designation (POSCAP™ TA versus POSCAP™ TPE). Both are active production parts with ROHS3 compliance.

Q: Is the KEMET T520D687M2R5ATE015 compatible with the Panasonic 2R5TPE680MFL?

A: Yes. The KEMET part meets all critical electrical and mechanical parameters: 680 µF capacitance, 2.5 V rating, 15 mOhm ESR, and 2917 (7343 Metric) package. The maximum seated height is 0.122" (3.10mm) versus 0.118" (3.00mm) for the Panasonic parts. This 0.004" (0.10mm) difference must be evaluated for space-constrained applications.

Q: What are the key parameters that determine substitutability?

A: Substitutability is determined by exact matching of: capacitance (680 µF), voltage rating (2.5 V), ESR (15 mOhm @ 100 kHz), package type (2917 / 7343 Metric), mounting method (surface mount), operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 105°C), and lifetime rating (2000 Hrs @ 105°C).

Q: Are all three parts suitable for high-reliability applications?

A: All three parts are active production components with ROHS3 compliance and identical lifetime specifications (2000 Hrs @ 105°C). Selection for high-reliability applications should consider manufacturer qualification requirements and specific design standards applicable to the end application.

Q: What is the significance of the different series designations?

A: The series designations (POSCAP™ TPE, POSCAP™ TA, and KO-CAP® T520) identify the manufacturer's product line and internal design characteristics. However, all three parts meet identical electrical and mechanical specifications for this application, making them functionally equivalent.
