Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the T322B334K050AS is determined by strict equivalence across all critical electrical and mechanical parameters. The substitute part must satisfy the following criteria:

Electrical Parameters (Non-negotiable):

• Capacitance: 0.33 µF
• Voltage Rating: 50 V
• Tolerance: ±10%
• ESR: 15 Ohm
• Operating Temperature Range: -55°C ~ 125°C

Mechanical Parameters (Non-negotiable):

• Mounting Type: Through Hole
• Package / Case: Axial
• Size / Dimension: 0.110" Dia x 0.290" L (2.79mm x 7.37mm)

Technology:

• Type: Molded Tantalum

The T322B334K050AT qualifies as a direct substitute based on identical electrical and mechanical specifications. The primary distinction is regulatory compliance status: T322B334K050AT is ROHS3 Compliant, whereas T322B334K050AS is RoHS non-compliant. Both parts share the same base product number (T322B) and series designation.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

For RoHS3 Compliant Applications: Select T322B334K050AT. This part maintains full electrical and mechanical equivalence to T322B334K050AS while satisfying ROHS3 compliance requirements. Both parts are Active status products from KEMET, ensuring continued availability and support.

For Non-Regulated Applications: Either T322B334K050AS or T322B334K050AT may be selected based on inventory availability and cost considerations. Both parts deliver identical electrical performance and physical compatibility.

Compliance Considerations:

• T322B334K050AS: RoHS non-compliant; suitable for legacy systems or applications without RoHS requirements
• T322B334K050AT: ROHS3 Compliant; required for applications subject to RoHS3 directives or customer specifications

Both parts are REACH Unaffected and classified under ECCN EAR99, indicating no export control restrictions for standard commercial applications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can T322B334K050AT be used as a direct replacement for T322B334K050AS?

A: Yes. T322B334K050AT is a direct substitute. All electrical parameters (capacitance, voltage rating, tolerance, ESR, operating temperature) and mechanical parameters (mounting type, package, dimensions) are identical. The only difference is RoHS compliance status.

Q: What is the difference between T322B334K050AS and T322B334K050AT?

A: The parts are electrically and mechanically identical. T322B334K050AS is RoHS non-compliant, while T322B334K050AT is ROHS3 Compliant. The suffix letter (S vs. T) indicates the compliance designation assigned by KEMET.

Q: Are these parts interchangeable on the PCB?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical physical dimensions (0.110" Dia x 0.290" L), axial through-hole mounting configuration, and lead spacing. No PCB layout modifications are required when substituting between these parts.

Q: Which part should I specify for new designs?

A: Specify T322B334K050AT for new designs. ROHS3 compliance is standard for modern electronics manufacturing and ensures regulatory alignment with current environmental directives.

Q: What is the ESR significance for these capacitors?

A: Both parts have 15 Ohm ESR. This parameter affects circuit performance in filtering and decoupling applications. Substitution requires ESR matching to maintain circuit behavior.

Q: Are there inventory differences between these parts?

A: Current inventory shows T322B334K050AS at 1122 Pcs and T322B334K050AT at 1046 Pcs. Availability may vary; consult current stock status for procurement planning.
