F981A226MSA Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The F981A226MSA is a 22 µF molded tantalum capacitor rated at 10 V in 0805 (2012 Metric) surface mount package, manufactured by KYOCERA AVX. This part is classified as "Not For New Designs," indicating it has been superseded in the product line. Equivalent and substitute parts are necessary to maintain design continuity, ensure supply chain availability, and leverage active product status where applicable.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility is determined by strict equivalence across the following parameters: capacitance (22 µF), tolerance (±20%), rated voltage (10 V), package type (0805 / 2012 Metric), mounting type (Surface Mount), and compliance certifications (ROHS3, REACH Unaffected, EAR99). All substitute parts listed meet these core electrical and mechanical requirements.

Variations in ESR (Equivalent Series Resistance), MSL (Moisture Sensitivity Level), packaging format (Tape & Reel, Cut Tape, Bulk), and product status (Active vs. Not For New Designs) do not disqualify substitution but are documented for engineering selection purposes.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All substitute parts are manufactured by KYOCERA AVX and maintain full electrical equivalence to the F981A226MSA across capacitance, tolerance, voltage rating, and package specifications. All parts are ROHS3 compliant, REACH unaffected, and classified under ECCN EAR99.

The TLJN226M010R3800 maintains MSL 3 rating identical to the original part while offering active product status and lower ESR (3.8 Ohm vs. 4 Ohm). The TCT series parts (TCTP1A226M8R, TCTP1A226M8R-02, TCTPL1A226M8R, TCTPL1A226M8R-02) provide improved moisture sensitivity performance (MSL 1) with active product status. Selection between these options depends on packaging format requirements (Tape & Reel, Cut Tape, or Bulk) and moisture sensitivity specifications for the application.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can F981A226MSA be directly replaced with TLJN226M010R3800? A: Yes. Both parts share identical electrical specifications (22 µF, ±20%, 10 V, 0805 package) and compliance certifications. TLJN226M010R3800 offers active product status and marginally lower ESR. Packaging format differs (Tape & Reel vs. Cut Tape & Digi-Reel®).

Q: What is the difference between TCT series parts and the original F981A226MSA? A: TCT series parts (TCTP1A226M8R, TCTPL1A226M8R) are electrically equivalent but feature improved moisture sensitivity (MSL 1 vs. MSL 3) and active product status. Physical dimensions remain within 0805 package specification. ESR values vary slightly but remain within acceptable operating parameters.

Q: Does packaging format affect electrical performance? A: No. Packaging format (Tape & Reel, Cut Tape & Digi-Reel®, or Bulk) affects handling, storage, and procurement logistics only. Electrical and mechanical specifications remain identical across all packaging options for the same part number base.

Q: Are all substitute parts ROHS3 compliant? A: Yes. All listed substitute parts are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, maintaining regulatory compliance with the original F981A226MSA.

Q: Which substitute part should be selected for new designs? A: Any of the active status parts (TLJN226M010R3800, TCTP1A226M8R, TCTP1A226M8R-02, TCTPL1A226M8R, TCTPL1A226M8R-02) are suitable for new designs. The original F981A226MSA is marked "Not For New Designs" and should not be used in new applications.
