The substitution is valid within the scope of axial tantalum capacitor applications where the electrical parameters of the substitute part satisfy circuit requirements.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Product Status Consideration: Both T322C106M025AS and T322D106K035AT maintain active product status with KEMET, ensuring continued manufacturer support and availability for procurement.

Compliance and Regulatory Status: The T322C106M025AS is RoHS non-compliant and REACH Affected. The substitute part T322D106K035AT is ROHS3 Compliant and REACH Unaffected. Selection between these parts must account for end-application regulatory requirements. Applications subject to RoHS3 or REACH compliance mandates require the T322D106K035AT. Applications without such regulatory constraints may utilize either part.

Export Classification: Both parts share identical ECCN (EAR99) and HTSUS (8532.21.0080) classifications, indicating equivalent export control and tariff treatment.

Inventory and Supply Chain: The T322D106K035AT demonstrates higher inventory availability (1318 units versus 968 units), providing improved supply chain flexibility for procurement planning.

Physical and Electrical Compatibility: Both components are axial through-hole tantalum capacitors within the T322 series. The substitute part provides specified electrical parameters (10 µF capacitance, 35 V rated voltage, ±10% tolerance, 2 Ohm ESR) and operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 125°C) suitable for general-purpose tantalum capacitor applications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: What determines whether T322D106K035AT can substitute for T322C106M025AS?

A: Substitution validity is based on shared manufacturer (KEMET), identical series designation (T322), matching mounting type (through hole), and compatible package configuration (axial). Both components are tantalum capacitors designed for the same application category.

Q: Are there physical compatibility concerns when substituting these parts?

A: Both parts utilize axial package configuration with identical mounting type (through hole). The T322D106K035AT specifies dimensions of 0.180" diameter by 0.420" length (4.57mm x 10.67mm), which is standard for axial tantalum capacitors. PCB layout and lead spacing accommodate both components without modification.

Q: How do RoHS and REACH compliance differences affect part selection?

A: The T322C106M025AS is RoHS non-compliant and REACH Affected. The T322D106K035AT is ROHS3 Compliant and REACH Unaffected. Applications requiring RoHS3 certification or REACH compliance must use T322D106K035AT. Applications without these regulatory requirements may use either part based on availability and supply chain considerations.

Q: What electrical parameters are specified for the substitute part?

A: The T322D106K035AT specifies 10 µF capacitance, ±10% tolerance, 35 V rated voltage, and 2 Ohm equivalent series resistance (ESR). Operating temperature range is -55°C to 125°C. These parameters define the electrical performance envelope for this substitute component.

Q: Is inventory availability a factor in part selection?

A: The T322D106K035AT has higher inventory availability (1318 units in stock) compared to T322C106M025AS (968 units in stock). For applications with extended production runs or time-sensitive procurement requirements, the substitute part offers improved supply chain flexibility.

Q: Can these parts be used interchangeably in all applications?

A: Interchangeability depends on circuit-specific electrical requirements and regulatory compliance mandates. Both parts are active KEMET products within the T322 tantalum capacitor series. Circuit designers must verify that the substitute part's electrical specifications (capacitance, voltage rating, ESR, temperature range) satisfy the application requirements before implementation.
