Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The 293D684X0050C2TE3 qualifies as a direct substitute for the T86C684M050EBAS based on the following critical parameters:

• Capacitance: Both parts are rated at 0.68 µF
• Tolerance: Both maintain ±20% tolerance
• Voltage Rating: Both are rated for 50 V operation
• Type: Both are molded tantalum capacitors
• ESR: Both have 5.9 Ohm equivalent series resistance
• Operating Temperature Range: Both operate from -55°C to 125°C
• Package / Case: Both use the 2312 (6032 Metric) surface mount package
• Physical Dimensions: Both measure 0.236" L × 0.126" W (6.00 mm × 3.20 mm)
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: Both are MSL 1 (Unlimited)

The primary distinction is product status: the T86C684M050EBAS is obsolete, while the 293D684X0050C2TE3 is active and currently in production.

Parameter Comparison

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 293D684X0050C2TE3 be used as a direct replacement for the T86C684M050EBAS?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical electrical specifications (0.68 µF, ±20%, 50 V, 5.9 Ohm ESR) and mechanical dimensions (2312 package, 6.00 mm × 3.20 mm). The substitute is pin-compatible and functionally equivalent.

Q: What is the difference in height between these two parts?

A: The seated height differs by 0.01 mm (0.110" vs. 0.110" / 2.80 mm vs. 2.79 mm). This negligible difference does not affect PCB layout or assembly clearance requirements.

Q: Why is RoHS compliance important for this substitution?

A: The 293D684X0050C2TE3 is RoHS3 compliant, while the T86C684M050EBAS is not. For applications subject to RoHS regulations or customer requirements, the substitute part ensures regulatory compliance.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these parts?

A: The T86C684M050EBAS is supplied in bulk packaging, while the 293D684X0050C2TE3 is available in Tape & Reel (TR) format. Tape & Reel packaging is standard for automated assembly and reduces handling costs in production environments.

Q: Do both parts have the same moisture sensitivity rating?

A: Yes. Both parts are rated MSL 1 (Unlimited), indicating no moisture sensitivity restrictions for storage or handling.
