Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both KEMET substitute parts maintain full electrical and mechanical equivalence to the Panasonic 6TPF220M9L. Selection between alternatives should be based on the following factors:

Product Status: All three parts maintain Active product status, ensuring continued availability and manufacturer support.

Compliance: All parts are ROHS3 Compliant and REACH Unaffected, meeting regulatory requirements for industrial and consumer applications.

Packaging Format: The Panasonic part is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) format, while KEMET substitutes are supplied in Cut Tape (CT) & Digi-Reel® format. Packaging selection depends on assembly line requirements and reel compatibility.

Physical Dimensions: The KEMET T520V227M006ATE009 offers a lower seated height (0.075" / 1.90mm) compared to the original part (0.118" / 3.00mm), which may be advantageous in space-constrained designs. The KEMET T520D227M006ATE009 seated height (0.122" / 3.10mm) is within acceptable tolerance of the original specification.

Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL): Both KEMET parts are rated MSL 3 (168 Hours), providing standard moisture protection for surface mount assembly processes.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are the KEMET T520D227M006ATE009 and T520V227M006ATE009 electrically identical to the Panasonic 6TPF220M9L?

A: Yes. Both KEMET parts match all electrical specifications: 220 µF capacitance, 6.3 V voltage rating, 9 mOhm ESR @ 100 kHz, -55°C to 105°C operating range, and 2000 Hours lifetime @ 105°C.

Q: What is the difference between the two KEMET substitute parts?

A: The primary difference is seated height. The T520D227M006ATE009 has a maximum seated height of 0.122" (3.10mm), while the T520V227M006ATE009 has a maximum seated height of 0.075" (1.90mm). All other electrical and mechanical parameters are identical.

Q: Can I use the lower-profile T520V227M006ATE009 in place of the original Panasonic part?

A: Yes. The T520V227M006ATE009 meets all electrical specifications and package requirements. The reduced height may provide design benefits in space-constrained applications without affecting electrical performance.

Q: Are there packaging compatibility concerns when switching from Panasonic to KEMET?

A: The Panasonic part uses Tape & Reel (TR) packaging, while KEMET substitutes use Cut Tape (CT) & Digi-Reel® packaging. Verify that your assembly equipment supports the KEMET packaging format before implementation.

Q: Do the KEMET parts have the same moisture sensitivity as the Panasonic part?

A: The KEMET parts are rated MSL 3 (168 Hours). The Panasonic part does not specify an MSL rating in the provided data. Both ratings are standard for molded tantalum polymer capacitors and support typical surface mount assembly processes.

Q: Are all three parts RoHS3 and REACH compliant?

A: Yes. The Panasonic 6TPF220M9L and both KEMET substitute parts are ROHS3 Compliant and REACH Unaffected.
